The 7th gen! The EP3 platform! I've owned one now for 5 years and absolutely love it!
Fitment Industries 10th is the best performing and my favorite
But don’t let this “so you want a civic si” video distract you from the fact that Hector is going to be running 3 Honda Civics with spoon engines. And on top of that, he just went into Harry's, and he ordered 3 T66 turbos, with NOS and a Motec exhaust.

Deviate BRO 😂
The 8th gen Civic Si sedan is the ultimate first car for an enthusiast. Kinda fast, great handling, safe, economical, cheap to insure, reliable, easy to learn manual, practical, super fun to drive, huge aftermarket, and incredibly reliable.
Buying one of these in the spring and I can’t tell you how excited I am. Always been such a Honda fanboy and now I’ve reached the age where I can buy my own car. So hype
Just got one recently and it is indeed a very fun car to drive and insurance is cheap
Civic coupes are expensive to insure tho from my experience
The 8th gen 06-11will be iconic!!..
The last true high 8k rpm redline naturally aspirated Honda . What an underrated Beast
It already is my friend!
9th
IMO they look ugly. The 9th gen looks better
8th is my favorite. I've had 2 white 2008 si sedans myself. Looking for the 3rd one now to keep for good "the charm"

8th Gen Si all day baby!! Love mine. Finally putting more mods into it too
My cusin rick is building his 8th gen too! And is a blast all day!👍
8th gen gang !
8th gens are one of the best of the best generations even though I love my FA5 but the EM1 is the Reigning King of Si

I love my muscle cars but whenever I see a really clean si I just go damn I kinda wish I had one
All the ones i see are massacred 😂
@You're not a victim, Just another failure i bet you drive a mustang
@@arthurritis4561 That is why seeing a clean on is so amazing. The car is so cheap that in attracts the neglected offspring that love to abuse them in illegal street racing with terrible performance reducing modifications. I rescued a 1991 CRX SI from such a fate and it has costed me thousands of dollars is neglect and abuse repairs.
I've got a 9th Gen Si that I got for dirt cheap. I absolutely love it. Easy to work on, parts are dirt cheap, and it's extremely fun to drive. Downpipe, exhaust, rbc manifold, and a tune are all you need to have a good time. People try to shame you for driving a Civic, but it's the best car that I've ever had.
Honestly I had a 2020 Si and fumbled the bag so now I have a 15 SI but I’m just glad to be back in a Honda
@@dnaxfilms9132
Dude you gotta tell your thoughts on the two !! I'm in between the 9th Gen Si and 10th gen Si
The things I like about the 9th gen Si
1. The windows are really big and it's easy to see out of really good visibility out of the car
2. The physical handbrake I like the feel of pulling the parking brake up
3. The double dashboard tachometer setup is really cool
4. Naturally Aspirated k24z7= more responsive being NA and torque
5. The ability to boost a k series
And for the things I like about the 10th gen Si
1. The appearance of the car I really like the front end is more aggressive I like the rear tail lights they're really big and have a cool design (sedan)
2. The interior is better looking and better quality better seats better technology and more comfortable
3. MPG being a 1.5 turbo it gets better fuel economy much better for daily driving save money and drive more
4. The power more torque down low and with bolt ons and a tune the car is more quicker than any previous gens with bolt ons

I'm pretty much looking for a daily driver setup not so much for the performance side
The 10th gen checks out a bunch of my needs for a fun comfortable quick daily driver but I don't like the electronic parking brake and the boost lag from the turbo
@@turbro7185 I had both bro
@@dnaxfilms9132
I know so tell me the likes and dislikes from your POV and your preference and your experience with the two I'm debating on which one to get
@@turbro7185 the kseries is way better drive train wise it’s feels to me like it pulls better than my tuned 2020 si and the steering and suspension feel better on the 10th. Both handle really well but I like the feeling of the 9th gen and the way it’s connects with the past. It gives a feeling of a little old and a little new
Here for the Gone in 60 Seconds reference at the end. Also my grandmother had a CRX when I was a kid and she drove it like she stole it. 90 mph all the way to bingo every Thursday and church every Sunday.

You got that right @Ren D
I see Si everything else i must set aside
Picked up a 2019 civic Si after owning an r56 mini cooper for 7 years. I have to say I am completely obssessed with my Si, the amount of aftermarket support is insane and the car is just an absolute joy. Slamming through gears hearing the turbo woosh. Nothing better
Hearing vtec screaming at 8500 rpm on a k20 is better and not having a turbo is priceless
Dam man the 9th gen was the last mean soundin gen but wnjoy ur si 😈
No vtec, no buy.

Fg2 here, this made me laugh bro 🤣
8th gen was the strongest revival of the civic I've ever seen. Such strong character from a car group. They were either aesthetically low and slow or boosted on stock internals to 500 hp willing to roll race anything eventually shattering their transmissions on their 2nd or 3rd gear shifts. Fucking raw.
8th gen stock is complete grocery getter
I drive a 9th gen civic si 2013. I love it so much. Call me a ricer my car will not break down and have 200xxx miles. Of course maintain it! I recommend to all you kids who wants to get into the car culture.
8th gen coupe owner here. It’s a fun ass car. Without some good mods you probably aren’t beating anything too modern in pulls on the highway or at a light, but it’s a fun car to throw around on some curvy roads.
I went from a 96 miata to a 08 Si sedan and I love the Si. Reliable, fun, and I’m happy that I got a completely stock one too
What year and have you had any problems with it
yooo I went from a '98 miata to a '10 SI Sedan. Very similar situation. Absolutely love both cars. Proud of both choices in vehicle purchases for myself
Do you miss the Miata or nah
@@cadewhite8670 I do miss it at times bc the convertible and the lightweight rwd combination, and of course popups. Felt good revving it out too with a decent exhaust. Mine needed some work like soft top, sagging window, etc. I absolutely love my 2010 si sedan now. That 8k redline k20z3 is too good. And it’s just a more comfortable daily in comparison, much safer feeling. Not as raw of a drive but still pretty raw in comparison to other modern vehicles, especially with some boltons. May end up getting an NB miata in the future but not as a daily. Also, Full Race catback exhaust is the best sounding exhaust for 8th gen imo
Just bought my first civic si yesterday (8th gen) and man, I'm really loving the car. I was so excited that I've already pre-planned what I'm going to do with it lol. Glad to have joined the community! 🙏
What have you done to it so far
It's surprising how well these things hold their value even with high miles. Finding one under 6k ain't easy
I own a 07 fa5 with 210000 miles on it still reliable and brings a smile to my face.
I am truly impressed with your “so you want a “ playlist, I’ve been looking for a new car to make my current one a daily and have been looking into a deeper dive into the cars to see if their worth getting, you got almost all of the cars I had in mind from the cooper, to the RSX, to the beetle. Thank you. You have earned my follow.
The EP3 Si is super underrated. Yeah you can’t rev it out to 9k, but the dashboard shifter is incredible. The hatch is super versatile.
I’m glad you guys did this video, I love my 10th gen si coupe!
The 9th gen civic si is the best looking one imo
hell yeah! 9th gen gang
Yea I love the body style of my 9th gen coupe
Yezzzzur
Facts
Got a 2012 si 9th gen gang
Extremely happy that you guys finally made an Si video. I have a 10th gen right now as my first car. Looking forward to buy wheels, tires and suspension with you guys!!
I love my 9th gen. I know it's not the most popular, but I think it looks better than the 8th gen (IMO) and more torque from the slightly bigger motor is more fun than a bit higher redline.

Alex forgot to mention the B18C1 Engine with b series tuning options and the k20 and k24 engines swap that can be done those k series civics are fast turbocharged and can make around 200hp with a stock k24 I drive a 99 eclipse so civic in the car community are like my brother from another mother I just done like ricers that make us look bad because they dont do there research on their car
Used to own a 99 SI EM1 and it was a killer experience. Like you said the smiles never dropped from my face. Cool thing about it was all it took was a tune and I could daily drive, slap the other tune and It was chugging on race fuel down a strip. It was truly a lot of fun. This Civic had a B16JDM/B18 Frankenstein build hooked with a short shifter, plenty of exhaust and ignition parts, fuel injectors and a hot tune and barely broke bank.
Jump about 10 years and I have a 9th Generation Civic SI Sedan and this thing is everything I could ask for in a more modern adult vehicle. Enough room to go shopping or on a roadtrip but small enough that with the added suspension and horsepower that honda slapped inside, handles those weekend roads like a dream. This ride came with a K24.Z7 at 201hp stock, still killing it with the high 8-9k rpm and a whole lotta I-Vtec fun.
I feel, in my experienced opinion, that the 9th Generation is the 6th Generation but more matured with the modern design and engine build. They both have a curb appeal while keeping to its more sporty dynamic.
Really enjoyed the video and Ill definitly be taking a look at that gallery of yours, maybe add mine someday.
I love Honda civic's. My dad has one, which I'm currently borrowing since my car got totalled and it's just stupid fun. The car is so enjoyable to drive in, especially since he threw some coilovers on it. Can't wait till I'm making some money to purchase my own and customize it.
Almost a prelude, but not quite, let’s get that “do you want a prelude” going !!!
Preludes get no love!
Jacob S one day Jacob, one day
6th and 8th are my favs (I do love the EF as well) but it was before my time as I was younger when they were out. I own an 8th gen SI, I love it, and I don't want to give it up ever. Reliable, fun, pretty well made overall, drives great. That transmission though.. Love it.
I've had a few SIs in my day. Starting with a 90 CRX SI. Then a 6th gen bubble hatch. I went from an 8th Generation to 10th Generation 2019.
Yes it was a little bit of a adjustment going from a high revving Vtech to a turbo charged but after about a year with the 1.5 turbo and a few aftermarket parts and a good tune, the current generation is now my favorite for driving experience. Granted I'm now pushing 40 and have kids to haul around, but my 3 year old daughter loves it when I do a quick pull to 60 or 70 from a stop light and the smile on her face might have something to do with it.
Fa5 and FC3 owner here. Absolutely love the Sis!! Awesome video! Keep the Civic videos coming!
I Always look forward to this series. Nothing but quality content from you guys. Still looking for a "So you want a Corvette" video though.
Y’all actually finally did the si 😃 ngl I was waiting for this one
I got a 93 Si Hatch and it’s amazing honestly. The d series doesn’t put out a lot of power but you don’t need power to take corners at 60 and not have to worry about it. Needless to say, It’s a blast to drive.
This just sold me, I gotta get one now. Been thinking ab it for a while but this helped thanks!
Just bought my first set of wheels an hour ago from you guys! Also just started my Chanel and can’t wait to start up! Thanks so much guys! Also I drive a stanced 2017 Honda Civic sport hatch! Keep up with the build!

getting a 8th gen si soon super stoked, great vid bro!
The K20 in my 8th gen is amazing , it’s so much fun I love it , it has never broken down 😍
Love my 8th Gen Si FG2 Coupe fun af to drive. Driven many MT cars the Si is one of the best out there.
Have enjoyed my 2007 Civic Si for the 2 years that I've had it . I recently burnt out my clutch at 152,000 miles . New one already and it feels so good and powerful love it
Nicely edited video. I own an 8th gen Si and it’s amazing.
I have a 9th gen, pretty great daily, I’m sure with some mods it could be infinitely more fun but mine is stock
Hondata flashpro, Skunk2 cold air intake, rbc intake manifold swap and a down pipe and some coilovers or springs and shocks will make it fun as hell
@@THEGOAT-hg8nu are those mods in order?

I’ve been asking for so long and its finally here!!!

I got a 2012 Si as my first car, I love it more and more every day!
B series for the win!!! Also, K motors are fun as well.... 6th and 8th gen are my favorites.
Yes sir. I kick myself for not having the extra 1800$ for the 99 si back in 2007. I got the 97 ex coupe instead. I did personally drive that bastard for 210,000 thousand miles though. It had 289,000 when i sold it 7 years later.
I've yearned for this day for eons it seems, at last the dream has been accomplished, thank you fitment crew 🙌💛🙏😎
Funny that you uploaded this video today, lol! I just came home from buying a 2013 Civic Si! ❤
8th gen si is the best civic . Used to have 1 but now I have a G37
I still miss it
Should have got a G35 instead. First Gen way better looking. 😂
David S uglyass sentra headlights fuck noo
I feel the opposite. I didnt have a SI but I went from a 8th gen civic to g37. And I'm glad I did. No more slow ass fwd cars for me
@LAN Evo nah, stock with 330hp. You are watching a video about a car that comes with barely 200hp. A G makes a Si look and feel like a smart car. Fuck honda finally made a somewhat quick car (type r) and it's as pretty much equal with a g37 in terms of 1/4 mile
@@WiscoMTB37 Should have Kraftwerk supercharged or Turbo'ed the 8th gen. They smoke a g37

@@vithursan.b at least another 100 WHP in stickers
I have a 07 Si and it always puts a smile on my face ! Love my car
I traded my 93 ej that was an SI minus the brakes and a few other nice tricks. But when I traded it for a 6th gen 99 electron blue broo those NFSU2 days just rushed back into my head. I almost cried when I played "celebration song" by Unwritten Law. The 8.2k redline and the SI transmission is pure automotive nirvana when it comes to just a pure driving sensation. I currently blew the head and a valve is done for but not the block thank the car gods. 6th Civic SI is your childhood boy racer car apart from the 240sx and honestly, I'm probably never selling this car so when this vid came out, it hits right at home. Quality content. Might get some TE37's and some Toyo's now 🤔
the em1 civic si was one of my favorite cars growing up
Been waiting for this! I have an FB6 and FG2. Couldn’t bring myself to sell my FG2 after getting the 9th gen.
Do one on the Honda Accord and talk about the V6! I own one and wanted it so bad! I’ve driven many Honda’s and the 3.5L V6 engine in this car is insane. Everyone that gets in leaves with a smile on their face! I’ve pulled on Si’s and even focus ST’s! It’s a blast and is so good at handling even the tightest of turns! Big plans for it in the future!
I have a 9th gen si and I love it, I have a ton of suspension mods into this car and this thing handles like a dream. Only thing I don’t like is not having vtec on both cams but I’m fixing that with a k20 head swap
3 1/2 years with my 9th gen Si. Its been highly reliable and a blast to drive everyday. The stiff ride takes some getting used to though, especially with the 💩 roads here in Texas.
Watching this while sitting in my 8th gen SI
I still saw many Honda Civic SI specially 6th Gen in my country Dominican Republic and I really feel joy each time I see one of them, Honda really managed to make good cars that resist the test of time 😎😎🔥🔥🔥
I own a 6th gen, and with a few seat covers, and a good cleaning, the interior looks timeless. And stock the car is still a blast to drive. The only regret i have about it is that it isnt a manual
I have the 8th gen si and it's the best fun car I ever had. The ollnly thing I've done to it is put some rpf 1 and catback exhaust and some bc coilovers and it's my daily and I always get ppl wanting to buy my car off me. I love this car. Going to put a new engine in it soon since the engine I have has 300k already. So can't wait to put another 300k on it

I bought one today, black 2009 Si coupe, my first car ever! I'm so hyped!
Had a 07 civic si silver coupe for my first car ...was the best car for real
They are a great platform, and you can run them to ground and wont break down! My RSX (same platform) has 196k Miles and is still running strong on the original motor! I'm also going to Dyno tune her within a month or so!
A true classic, that’s all the reason I need :)
I’m just glad the 8th gen was the thumbnail. The last of the REAL civics.
2 EF hatches, 2 EF sedans, and a 2011 FG2. They were all fun.
Currently building a 10th gen and i have loved every step of the way
Finally a video of our cars. I have a 2020 Civic Si with a few bolt ons and a 29 psi tune making way more power than my 1.5L should be allowed to make
Affordable and prob the best daily cars out there. I drove my 8th gen Si with bad timing for a whole year and no big problem at all.

Thanks for reminding me how old I am! I bought an '84 CRX and started selling Honda in '85. The first three gens of Civic Si are my favorites. Adult go-karts in a great way.
6th Gen!!! I have a 2000 civic si. Did swap the engine to a B18C1 Gsr! Super awesome high compression. I've done so much since I 2007 since I've owned it. Its been through a couple of face lifts. From Wings west body kit. To Stock body looking like it is supposed to look. My wife says get rid of that Old bucket. Owning a Honda civic si is The best feeling. .
FINALLY!!!!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!!
In my opinion the best and last true Si was the 8th gen 06-11. I had one until it was totalled and I miss that car everyday
Going to look at a 09 Si today. I'm so pumped to check it out!
