It’ll fix it… temporarily, regardless it’ll need synchros unless you want your trans to fail.

I like what you say at 5:50. Having a reliable car gives you that peace of mind every time you slam the gas or take corners, it's like having a psychological edge. If you're worried about your car reliability every time you push you have the worry in the back of your mind which makes it not as fun.

Exactly my point! And I do believe that I plays a large role.

I've owned 2 civics years ago, I thought about always getting an Si. Finally 2 weeks ago I bought a 9th gen Si. I own a BMW 328i and I must say the Si how responsive that 2.4 L engine is, it's amazing I love it. I am now thinking on getting rid of my BMW and also get a Type R just for kicks 😅.

Fellow 8th FA5 Si owner here. This has been my favorite car I have ever owned. It's '09 so the 3rd gear grind hasn't been an issue for me, and it's garage kept, so the paint is still lustrous! I have a HR CAI, HR shifter bushings, Buddy club short shifter, JDM Shift boot. Koni/Tien suspension, Comptech shortie header (that does give me gains!).

liang liam i've own an 8th gen civic sedan and now the coupe. Havent owned a 9th gen but have been in one and can tell you that the 8th gen is the last true Civic. The 9th gen has a K20 while the 9th gen has a K24. The K24 has a few fingers more HP than the K20 and more torque which means VTEC is not as dramatic as the K20. If you want a simple car and raw driving experience get the 8th gen. If you want a nice interior with tech and safety features then get the 9th gen.

clicked the video cause I've got a 2010 civic si and realize that this is in medicine hat where i'm at... hmu sometime bro

I believe it is the best modern Vtec platform you can buy. What makes it unique is it's very high revving engine... something they would take away for gen 9. You can argue that some of the previous older gens are more fun, but if you're looking for more safety, better features, and overall fun factor. Gen 8 is the best in my opinion.
