Just rolled over 100k in my fg2. Bought it at 57k miles and I like it more than the Gti I owned when I was younger. Very fun cars, im planning on buying another one in a few years!

I appreciate the video man! Looking into something *exactly* like this..

I also own an 8th gen Civic in the Philippines. 2009 Honda Civic 2.0S (equiv to your SI). I love the driving experience, man. It's only got 45k miles and drives like new.

I daily drive the 2010 SI Sedan. Fun cars man. I connect a bluetooth device to my aux to make the car bluetooth. My fav dash indeed with that speedo tier. Like you said, it is so simple.

How does the accelerator feel like? Like its extended way down to the floor like what trucks have. Hows the rear seat legroom too.

Had a 2010 si coupe with only 49k kms sold it got a gti lost money on maintenance and now I’m back looking for another. If your young and want an enthusiast car but don’t have the budget to maintain one get a civic si.

It's kind of common knowledge. You want more than 230whp you'll need head work for the more aggressive cams. You want anything more than 250whp you'll need block work as well or forced induction.

Hey guys! So I’ve found this great looking 2007 Civic Si sedan but it has 180k miles on it for $5700 and been in a low impact accident on driver side door. The car fax said it had 6 owners, it’s passed multiple safety tests when being resold, and also kept up with oil changes fairly well (around every 3000 - 4500). I’ve never bought a civic si before and I’ve always loved the 8th gens since I was a kid. I’m also looking to replace my other car that’s crapped out on me. I just want something reliable and easy to maintain and won’t break the bank when I need to get it repaired. I’m already in a hole I don’t need another issue. Just want some of y’all’s opinions. What do y’all think? Should I buy?

How's the interior 'stink' when idling being catless? Only reason I've avoided the catless Skunk2 Alpha header is the fumes. Hondata lowering the Vtec to 4300rpm makes sense😊 More linear through out the powerband. Daily driving, do you miss the 6000rpm vtec hit as opposed to it coming in @4300rpm smoothly up to redline? You might have swayed me to go Skunk2 Alpha header and Invidia Q300 catback exhaust 😂

Your crossover sounds Mean. Just got a 2011 Si, I didn’t realize it before I bought it but.. it won’t go into second gear unless I’m under like 5,500-6000rpm. All others are fine. Is that a big expense problem to fix? Also I noticed it’s definitely not like butter rowing through the gears. It’s just, not that. I mean if I time it just right and grab it just right I can make it smooth, but with yours it seems more effortless. Mine feels more like my ‘98 Jeep 5MT when going into gears. Like it’s not baaad, but again definitely not “buttery” smooth. Is that also a big problem to fix? I don’t mine spending $500-$1k to fix it, I just don’t know what needs fixing, and would want the performance equivalent to whatever that thing is, and don’t know what that would be either.. hopefully the answer does not involve pulling the transmission at a cost of like $1,500-$2k... thoughts?
