Thank you for the shout out and clip appreciate it ! Great video and yes love my 10th gen Type R FK8 with passion MHI stage 2 turbo build is almost ready to commence. Thank you to everyone who has supported this project so far. Much love and blessings to you all. 🙏🙏
Thanks for using my car as the thumbnail!!! Lol Side note as for the 10th gen Si, it’s good for what it is. A solid daily, good mpg, looks good and fun with some mods.

Switch to the highest octane you can purchase, these cars are prone to LSPI, and the weak head bolts will cause head gasket issues. Also using a quality name brand synthetic oil and changing it regularly helps. Turbo engines should have 5,000 mile OCI's, a lot of the 1.5t engines with head gasket issues did extended oil changes, typically the engines are full of varnish. Depleted oil additives, + fuel dilution, + low octane fuel = blown gaskets at ~70-90k miles.

I just realized that, I was like that is Tony's car... Then I was like unless he got the same exact car and mods 😅😂😂
Picked up my Fc1 Si a couple weeks ago. Love the thing to death. An absolute please to drive. Very glad you dropped this video Alex. Looking forward to the future of martini works!!
Tony Castillo and Chris lowpes builds are some of my favourite 10th gens builds
I appreciate you using some of my footage, love this series keep it up!
Oooooh that soundtrack on the intro brings back so many good memories. Thanks Alex, keep being awesome.
Ain't no way you brought this series back! Keep up the good work brotha :]]
I’d say it applies to 11th gens as well. Most important mods are intercooler, clutch, and an ARP head stud kit. Seems the 11th gens can net a couple more hp than 10th gens (Si models) mod for mod, due to whatever updates, the twin scroll, along with the nice addition of rev-match. Do your head studs & clutch, you’re golden for FBO. I’m FBO and W1 turbo, clutch didn’t slip until I got on flex fuel (E35). Intercooler & Downpipe are your best friends for efficiency & power. Stock turbo on 93 will get you into the 280-295hp range, ~310 on flex fuel. Upgraded turbo will throw you into low 290-305hp range on 93 and around 320hp+ on e-blend
i love the 10th gens because they remind me of my love for evos especially how they look made for TEs and RPF1s

Not an SI or type R guy, got a Sport Touring I’ve been building but it’s nice to see our platform be showcased. The 1st 10th gen I saw I didn’t have my license or a car but I made it my goal to own one. On my 2nd one and by FAR my favorite car I’ve ever had is this one

Lovin' the old intro beat, brings back memories.
I love how sharp it got. It doesn't look like it but it feels with the same edge of a mustang back in the days
Thanks for putting my car in the video 🔥🔥 it caught me off guard lol but for anyone wondered that’s air suspension on some really tiny tires 😭
5:27 it’s an honor being on one of your videos! 🍻
My gf has a 10th gen 2-door civic si. It's an absolute riot to drive, I love that car
anyone ever tell you that you sound just like linus tech tips? not a bad thing, just cool
I looked all over for my si. Was gonna get the coupe then i remembered im 40 so i got the sedan instead. A trip to Cincinnati and i was the owner of a brand new black on black si.About a week in...got a k tuner and the stage 1 plus tsp tune plus prl cold air intake 70k miles in stock clutch started to slip now i have the rv6 retrofit type r clutch. I get compliments on my car and i try to keep it nice
Bro did all these things on my Civic Si, wheels and suspension first, then intake, intercooler, exhaust with a stage 1 tune. Loved the car as it was, then added body parts and a duckbill. One more thing I recommend for any tuned 1.5l is upgraded head studs and head gasket before 100k. Mines in the shop right now for that reason. Depending on how you drive obviously. Or just be ready as you said when reliability tanks. May happen sooner than you hope.

Let me sum it up from personal experience Ktuner with TSP tune first mod Cobra CAI second mod PRL intercooler third you can do intake tubes also at this point. Lower springs or coilovers Done
Great video
Maybe mazdaspeed3s next 😳 love the vids!!
Love it!!!
I highly recommend getting a post face lift civic if going with a si as the transmission feels much better then the slow gearbox inside the pre face lifts
Funny and informative video bro 👏

Delsols, are making a comeback, im the owner, of a 95 vtec delsol, restored and boosted, its a blast to drive!
Te37s on the fk8 is perfect!
appreciate the vid!! I was thinking of purchasing the 23' SI or the Hatchback sport. Either or I know I will have a great starter project car (This will be my first project). I read some of the Hondata tunes are safer or Automatic transmission, I'll be satisfied if I can pull 20HP from the tune.

Helll yeahhhh Si Coupe gang
got a honda civic with subs 2016 lx but its so slow you think a tune would be worth it and a cold air intake? i got a modified aftermarket exhaust currently
In my younger days I was heavy on the mods..now that I'm an old man just some dark tints, aftermarket headlights with led bulbs and I'm good..I would admit I do like to see a Honda civic with mods tho esp the 10 gen
Can u do one of these for all the accords 😊
Turbo 9th gen 👑
Do you by chance know who makes coilovers for the integra? The adaptive dampers... I haven't found any yet.
ive had an intercooler, exhaust, intake, and a tune for awhile but i have been scared to install my downpipe because im scared of breaking the turbo bolts.
Do I need to custom tune my civic (2019 FK7 CVT) if I got the PRL CAI (Street - No tune required), Hondata Base Map 2, and HKS Legamax Premium?
I Would Also Recommend People Pick Up a Snow Kit (Methanol Injection) to Keep the Intake Temps Down on These. I’ve Noticed From Builders on KZread That These Often Aren’t Tuned Right and Are Not Built Right Either. A Snow Kit Will Keep This Reliable, Even With Bolt Ons!
just got an si sedan and im saving up for work emotion d9r’s in GT silver
Hello. I own a 10th gen civic sport sedan ('19) with 6 speed manual transmission. Been wanting to make some mods but don't know where to start. Browsing over to exchange air intake with cold air intake, muffler delete or change out entire exhaust system, fire starters. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Not car savvy but do hold a b.s. in electrical engineering. Thanks.
Question, so I have the civic Ex, the regular 4 door no fog light trim, can I still modify the exterior and make it look more sporty like a SI? I would like to add fog lights
10th gen accords pls💯💪

Nothing beats the 8th gen, no 9th, no 10th and no 11th!! Fight me! 😆
I have a 10th gen civic si....I know how slow the car is, can't justify sinking 10k on it and barely break 400hp. Not to mention it tanks reliability. Think I'll save the money for something faster, maybe a few years old porsche once the civic is paid off.

Does this apply to a 2020 honda civic sport ?
So maybe I want a 2nd gen Mazda 3 Skyactiv hatchback.... Just putting that out into the universe.
Hey I have a 2017. I doubt you will respond. But it has 110k miles, should I rethink doing these modes? Will it take away whatever life I do have left? If it will take away some life, how much we talking?
25k for mid 50k miles? I guess I got a fuckin steal then 😂 19’ si coupe for 23k with 30k miles, certified pre owned. Wish I could shameless plug, but I’m not gonna do that, car looks completely different from when I got it 3 months ago. To all my 10th gen owners, I love you ❤️
