- It's been a great run but it is time to sell my lovely 8th gen Honda Civic SI...I will miss it but I know this is the right move (for now).
If you're interested in buying (the price may be a shock) - marketplace/...

I still have my 11 FA5, never selling .
09 si never selling either . 🙃
2010 Never ever selling it. Its been paid off a long time ago .LoL a new Si is 40 g’s CAD
07 FA5 never selling
Same I have a 10 FA5, it's my baby. Never getting rid of it unless I wreck it.
Anyone selling a stock axle back for a good deal?
Very nice review! I have an 07 Coupe SI and I absolutely love it as a daily driver. I drive it so much more than my 2018 Subaru, its just overall so much more comfortable and the manual is so easy to drive especially in traffic. The trunk space is so much larger than my Subaru's also. Once I get a new daily I plan on doing some light mods and hopefully making it into a track beast!
Sad to see it go. Great car. I imagine it’ll sell quick being that it’s a clean low mileage example. Enjoy the zed.
I bought my 8th gen Si sedan in 2016, and it’s been my daily since then. So coming up to about 8 years. I’ve put over 100k miles on it, including two 1200 mile round trips. Only major problem I’ve had was a cracked thermostat housing, other than that it has never left me stranded. It’s surprisingly spacious for what it is, especially the trunk. Has enough power to have fun, and it handles well even stock.
it feels like youre trying really hard to make up the issues you have with this car. the suspension is 40 percent more stiff than stock for handling purposes. ya youre gonna tell when you hit a bump. and why change anything unless youre going boost. the engineers at honda really nailed this one no need for exhaust etc
Love the video! It was a really nice Si. I'm not a fan of the 2 door (for me) cuz imma Hella tall lol but had a 8thgen EX sedan .very reliable. Thanks for the video cutie!😎💙🔰
Sold my FG2 a year ago for a FK8 Type R, sometimes I miss the raw NA kseries engine. The 8th gen will always have a place in my heart and honestly wish I could’ve kept it but I do not regret having a newer car.
wow that interior is so well maintained
My 05 TL had the same feeling hitting bumps or dips in roads. On coils and on stock suspension - new bushings
Love your videos so much! Wondering what was the bluetooth system you used?
Crux, I have a video on the whole install for it!
It’s a very nice looking car , your going to regret selling it. We guys always do.
Regarding the trunk, if you have to haul cabs as a performing musician, definitely go for the sedan or look at an Ep3
Picked up a 09 FA5 a few months ago, it's an amazing car, there's more space/headroom comparison to the coupe. This car is reminiscent of the integra type r, same Alcantara cloth interior. It was built in the same way. It's definitely worth getting into 2024 and beyond
I love mine I use the twenty06 civic ex ivtec coupe stick 1.8L, sohc, 140hp and it gets 53mpg highway, and 42 city.
i still have my '06 civic fd 2 and it's for keeps .
have to agree w/ the gen 8's steering characteristic. it does weant to center itself pretty quick .
That steering centering thing is because they design the geo to reduce torque steer, which works in a straight line but causes some weird side effects on steering
The 8th gen sedan is my dream car. They seem so fun
“This interior holds up really well over the years” : has low mileage super clean example
Yeah I have a little over 100k on my 9th gen and it's uhhhhh... A little worn 😂😂😂
And that's with actually keeping it clean and in good shape. It's just worn out is all
Sad to see it go. My FG2 with 21k miles here in Indiana is getting ready to be tucked away in the Garage for next few months since the weather is turning. I sometimes wanna sell it and get an Acura or Lexus but I hold on to her hoping the price I can get for her will continue to go up.
i wouldn’t count on the price of a civic to appreciate
Still rocking my 2006 fg2. I’ll never sell it. I couldn’t replace it for what it’s worth. Plus a little boost and these things can beat just about anything
I’m selling my NB Miata because it’s not great on the highway for long stretches and I’m over 6 feet. I’m doing a lot more highway miles these days and want something to make those trips more comfortable. Top choice is a golf right now, but which would you recommend for me?
Depends on what you want out of your vehicle, is it a daily? Weekend car? Track car? Do you need alot of space? I would recommend either the 8th gen sedan OR 9th gen si sedan as well. I'm fortunate enough to own both and love each one. If your not into heavily modding I recommend the FB6 over the FA5 considering it has alot more tech features. If you want a drivers car that's track ready then the FA5 is your best bet
yup either my car shimmys or rocks side to side when I hit a pothole but I think that has to do with everything being so old (stock suspension). It's a great daily but if I had to do it again I would have gotten the sedan lol
The Mugen suspension doesn’t do this, but it is pretty firm and very expensive. Can probably eliminate the shimmy with some coilovers too.
Thats 100 percent your suspension dude........these cars are coming up on 20 yrs old if you haven't done anything to the suspension it needs to be completely redone.
After coilovers, new Poly bushings everywhere, boomba motor mounts, Poly control arms and trailing arms, balljoints, pretty much everything. Car handles like a beast.
@Kser1es oh def the suspension lmao 🤣 my coilovers aren't gonna be ready till December so I'm slowly ordering the rest of the parts
I'm 6'3" and when I first got it brand new, my head grazed the roof even with the seat ratcheted all the way down. But then after a while it was fine. It's not even close now, I have probably like 2" above my head. Which makes me think you either didn't ratchet the seat down. Like how can 2 people of drastically different heights be almost the same distance from the roof?
I just wanted to comment that it's worth every penny of the asking price! If I didn't already have my own, I'd be seriously considering it. Good luck with the sale!
You'll love the 370Z; I've gone through two myself (2019 Sport and 2020 NISMO). Totaled the Sport, got the NISMO, then sold the NISMO to partially fund going back to school/move to Japan in the coming years. Funny enough, I'm looking at 8th Si's since I miss rowing through my own gears. Hoping it's something to keep me entertained/having something reliable at the same time. Might even bring it with me to Japan since these weren't sold there.
But one day I definitely want to get back into a NISMO - best car I've ever had in terms of rawness, power, looks, and just being a modern "90s" Japanese car
Watch his other video he doesn’t like 350z cuz of how cramped
Sad to see it go, maybe in the future. Look into a 4dr 8th gen. And pair it with a invidia q300 exhaust.
Yeah that’s what he needs for sure
As a original owner of a 08 fg2 I will never sell it , it has 41k miles , I haven’t really driven it in years , I drive a 2022 odyssey elite , and honestly it’s almost as fun as the si Don’t sell you will regret it
I have a sedan and I’m 6’. No issues whatsoever with headroom in it but I also run the seat bottomed out.
I swear sedans have more headroom
your transmission ground is likely making your steering a bit stiffer and unnatural than what it should be. you'd correct that if you ever did engine mounts.
I am 6'3 and I own an ex and an si and I fit in them both amazingly.
i love this car. I have owned 2 and looking for my 3rd
Ive owned three 8th gen civic Sis back to back. Loved them all. However, imo, in stock form it leaves more to be desired. The rev hang is SOOOOOO bad. Once you get a flashpro, tires, suspension, it really gets great and the 8200RPM is magical. Moved to a 9th gen and then my Veloster N. Only thing I miss is the redline and Shifter.
8300rpm** ;)
@@Kdubz_Auto_HVAC8800
What size are those hypergrams you had on there? And what tire fitment?
im 6'1 and the si is very comfortable, bit of a reach for the shifter but its okay
Sometimes I find myself wondering if I should’ve gotten the coupe because it’s more “sports car/race car” like but I see videos like this with the comments saying should’ve got a Sedan and I feel a little better about my FA5
I think most people prefer the sedans for usability. I like the coupe from the front angle but prefer the sedan from every angle
Sedan is best for this chassis
Can't wait for the 370Z videos! What car have you chosen (or are looking to get) as a 2nd daily? I'm also in the position to get into the "2 car system" and could use some ideas.
My circumstance is a little weird haha, my sister still has her first car and its sort of been the family loaner vehicle. I'll probably drive that for the winter and figure out what I'd like to buy next year. It will likely be something cheap and reliable, maybe a Honda Civic, Toyota Corolla, or Mazda3
Fg2 was my first car! Then a mazdaspeed3, then now elantra N. Honestly the speed3 was the worst for me the si and my EN feels more special than the speed (even though the speed is fullbolt ons and tuned making 280hp/300tq
Hope u get a fa5 sedan in the Future
I’ve been considering getting the crux Bluetooth for my car but I’ve read reviews that it’s a lot more quiet to the radio and you have to really turn up the volume, do you have the same experience?
For me, it seems to be the exact same in terms of volume. I hope some of those people reviewing realized that you have to turn up the volume on the phone first and then the volume for the car. That way the quality is as good as it can be and it'll be at a similar volume to the original CD/Radio volume
I have the opportunity to buy an 8th gen si I’ve had a 97 civic and an 06 Acura tl but both were automatic would anyone say this is a good car to learn stick on I know how to drive stick but I’ve never actually done it
I have 06 si and looking into getting new exhaust. Anyone have any suggestions?
What engine mounts did you go with? Thoughts on it? I hear a lot of people say they can ruin the car, what do you think?
Can't go wrong with Hasport mounts!
He only installed the Hasport 70a rear mount.
I installed both 62a upper torque mount and rear mount.
Love 'em😊
You’re crazy if you sell this car… 8200 redline and sharp steering and an amazing manual. You will never own a 8200 rpm car that screams in your life. Unless you’re in the 1% of the population. Not in the age we are headed towards. These cars will be missed deeply
Literally a FWD S2000.
Never selling my '06 FG2 Coupe.
This dude is a whiny-baby 😆
@@yukonstriker1703 true! I had an S2000 and my 8th gen. I sold the S2000 cause deep down I loved the 8th more. Years later I did get another S2000 that I’m trying to keep forever but your statement is 100% true.
Love my 2010 FA5 🩶
man I would buy this if im in you country.. I am currently in Ontario, Canada. I have been looking for 8th gen si coupe and its all trash here at the moment.
8th gens si where made in Ontario
More Elantra N content was happening with the car???
I’m interested in buyer the fg2, where you posting this one?
I just put the link in the description!
no way the 8th gen interior is dated maybe compared to other civics but in general its tip top, you got that stock radio and not the gps
Get yourself a mk7 golf sportwagen! Tuns of room and the gen3 ea888 is a very solid and reliable engine (also comes in a diesel if you're into that). Also pretty mod friendly if you want to build a dope sleeper.
get another and build for track, feel like a lot of us are here for honda content
Abusing the Si on the track. I'm sure it's wrecked now. Nice job scooter.
It's not abusing, it's using a car to its full potential
@@pattyboi Is that what wrecking a car is called nowadays? Consistent driving at high speeds in a sport compact car on a track will put extra wear and tear strain on your car's engine and transmission due to the excessive heat. Which goes without having to say it: causing damage to the engine, pistons, valves, and bearings. There are people that ignite their engines within months or less of “pushing their cars” on the track. There are tons of videos here on youtube.
I’ve been in receipt of sport compact cars that knuckleheads “tracked” that caused premature oil burning, and other repairs needed because certain doofus’ thought, “These cars love to be revved high”. Which is a crock of sh*t. That's not what these cars are for. They're just fun daily drivers with some zip for daily, moderate driving.
The “track” is for well machined, higher end cars that can take the extra heat on the internals, and externals.
You were wrecking this cool low mileage Si regardless of what you think. Sadly the next owner will be in for some costly repairs in the near future as I’m sure you will be selling it and passing on the financial burden to the innocent buyer.
Still have my 06 fg2. Never selling too. It’s my project fun car. 62mm turbo and some tuning with a good clutch and injectors. All I need to smoke most punk rich kids
Excited for the 370z! How much did you pay? Also, can you post more Elantra N content also?
I paid $20k for a 2012 touring with sport package, clean title and stock. It's expensive but from what I can see getting a stock 370z is pretty tough so I'm happy with it! We're splitting off the Elantra N content and I'm going to be focusing on my own stuff for the future 🙏
@@pattyboi oh ok sounds good! Looking forward to seeing it!!!! Does your brother also have a channel?
@@adamz4737 I'm very excited for 370z stuff! Will doesn't have a channel but he's very active on the forums and Facebook pages so you'll still see the car around
@@adamz4737 There might be Elantra N content on his channel in the future, but that'll be up to him. For now, I'm super active on the Facebook group and Reddit.
@@williamrori1274 ok thank you! I'm very active on the Reddit as well! I've had a PB Elantra N on order since may
Hey man, are you still selling your wheels and tires?
I am, if you're interested hmu on Instagram (I'm near Detroit)
"I don't need a Civic Si to do errands. So instead I bought a 370z." lmfao?
370z does just as good for errands but mainly I want a second car that is an automatic transmission and I don't have to feel bad destroying during Michigan winters and our shit roads
Still for sale?
Civics are amazing, but everybody ends up trying rwd
I dislike 8th gens because of the lack of aftermarket support, front end heavy, tight engine bay and the fact it wasn’t made in Japan. Also while the ugly 4 doors was made in Japan, it just created a major divide with coupe and sedan people. Though I’m not a fwd person, the rsx type s is better overall compared to 8th gens. I like how they didn’t make ugly 4 door rsx type s cars.
I mean I disagree on the aftermarket support, I think 8th gen Civics are one of the best supported Hondas in terms of aftermarket options and potential. The biggest thing for me is that Civic SIs came with a limited slip diff while RSXs didn't, that's absolutely huge for track driving. RSXs definitely look better in the exterior department though.
Are you selling the Hondata tho? 👀👀
Ahhh already sold it, I listed everything on FB marketplace and most has sold
@@pattyboiim sad you never got to drive it with an intake because it does actually boost power a bit and low end torque if you went with a 3.5" cold air but the sound is absolutely insane on these cars it mightve made it harder to sell though 😂 especially paired with hondata and a tune it growls everywhere and sings like an exotic at 8000
They dont make the Si like they used to
12k if you want cash.
What bumper is that ?
Stock!
When are u selling it and for how much ?
I just put the link in the description!
17.5 yikes
@@bobbydouglas16hwy robbery😂
Teach you friends to drive a stick. Then they will all want one. Then they can teach their friends and before you know it children are asking whats a automatic?
Are you still selling this car?
How much you selling the si for?
Just put the link in the description!
Nooooo 😓
How much you selling it fir
I just put the link in the description!
Dont sell it man. buy a 7th gen automatic and hold it as your beater!!! 40 mpg on highway
Dude you realize you can lower the seat right? im 6 foot and i have plenty of room and im not even on the lowest seat setting.
YOU CAN LOWER CAR SEATS?? Just kidding, it is lowered all the way. Some people have different torso to leg ratios that come into play with fitment. Keep in mind as a taller person the seat moves back away from the front of the headliner near the back, there may be more natural room the further back you go.
@pattyboi lol believe it or not some people actually don't know that when I tell them but I agree you're right people do have different body ratios my bad I wasn't implying you were dumb or anything
Get rid of the coupe and get a sedan lol
Goofy to be selling the fg2 can use it as your cheap daily and have 370z lol
Booooooo. This was the only thing drawing me into your videos. I don’t think you spent enough time with the car to appreciate the 8th gen si. But hey if it’s not for you then fine.
I'll take the Si over the 370z.
I have a new 11th gen si and its a very nice car and with a tune it will produce 292hp or so .right now im under warranty so ill deal with the dyno numbers of 222 hp still not bad numbers and Honda for whatever reason isn’t telling us the real numbers of horsepower and it does dyno at 222 hp
Also every Honda here unsubscribe
