I should have consulted you first before I started calling them by their chronological order instead of just referring to the civic generations as a whole 😅
Fr bro, I honest knew the em1 was gonna get best gen si but our 8th gens for sure will become more iconic with time since its the second best generation
We love our children all the same but some are more special then others. What all models you name have in common is they are low, with a low seating position. For grandma's a hell to get out of, if you lowered your civic even more.. Also they where fast compared to the engine volume, great handling after 2000 they went a different way. As I explain in my response to this video.
I wanted a si because the 4 door option, reliability and one of the only sedans left with manual transmission. In my search, 8th gens have to many miles, mods and bad paint. 10th gen I didnt like how big the sedan looked. I also like the nostalgia behind the na motor, nothing like a high revving na motor. I settled on 9th gen👌
It’s just paint.....if you can find one never modded, no accident and decent mileage you should buy. I got mine one owner no accident and he never modded because he was not into the modding scene. It had paint peeling but because of that I was able to get him to drop 1000 off original sale price. Got my 2006 si for 5k lol in 2021.....car was perfect driving condition for being 15 years old
When it comes to 8th gen they had a really bad clear coat from factory. Out of all things, that is the only thing you could actually gloss over. There was a point in time when Honda had a recall and they'd paint the car again for free. That's why those that have been repainted after some time seem to hold value, otherwise it would be bargained down.
I originally wanted an 8th gen si coupe but couldn’t afford it at the time so I went with an EX, years later I bought an S2000. The civic has been a great daily! Very fun, great mpg, and reliable.
@@bernieg7355 you cannot beat another engine like you could beat a b16a man those engine just don’t care of anything and run forever just check the oil
@@jdsimons6115 people tend to hate on the b series but it's funny cuz they can actually 🚬 the newer civics when you build it properly that's just me though when I had my DB1 with the GSR built motor I used to beat si especially sedans since they were heavier the coupes were more of a challenge though
The capability and handling dynamic of the front double wishbone out-does any power bump in newer Si, except for GenX....However, the 1.5T lets it down since the power-train isn't great for continuous lapping and Honda engines are expected to have longterm durability, even at extremes. The Ideal setup would be 11th Gen Chassis with 2.4L engine. Hopefully Honda does it for 2022 Si. 11th longer wheelbase should be a good fit for the bigger NA engine. Personally, I'm loving the economy from my base 10th Gen 6MT, which I track, but it doesn't have enough power to pull pass the Turbo or 2.4L on the straights (a problem that the 2000 si would also have).
Only Honda I've owned is an 07 Si coupe. It's an amazing car to me. K20Z3 with an 8600 rpm redline. FI said peak power was 7800 rpm, but that's where secondary vtec kicks in. Stock 197bhp (about 172whp). I've been fbo with a dyno tune at 215whp for a year now. I've been wanting to do an AWD Civic build for awhile now and have been gathering parts. But instead of using an older chassis like everyone else, I may just be the first to AWD my 8th gen Si.
not trying to start anything.... but bro, please get the generation numbers right! the 6th gen is the EM1 from 99-2000, the 7th gen is the ep3 from 2001-2005, and the 8th gen is the fa5/fg2 from 2006-2011.
That’s what I thought I have a 8th gen and it’s an 08. Never getting rid of it but I felt they broke the gens down wrong he separated the si from the civic putting our gen only at 6. Who is right? I’d say it’s an 8th

I agree, the Em1 is my favorite Si of all time. Something about the electron blue paint on that body and the Dohc vtec sticker on the side made all the difference in the world.
@@horriblewater7548 just watch out for the touchscreen and mark levinson sound system. They’re things you dont need and tend to go out once it gets up there in age. Aside from that they’re bulletproof
8th gen is hands down the best SI for performance. 9th gen is the best daily due to its torque and reliability. 10th gen is a close second for daily but it is held back by the issues plaguing the L15. 10th gen is also second for performance, since its already turbo charged, a tune can increase hp higher than other gens while remaining stock, plus its chassis and suspension is the best Civic SI has to offer; however, the L15 has a lower ceiling than the K series engines.
Totally agree. As an owner of a 10th gen si coupe I always felt like the L series is probably the most disappointing motor from Honda out of the box. Building the motor can for sure improve it but you’re better off just getting the Type R at that point unless you’re dead set on owning an Si.
10th gen is the fastest out the box and makes the most power without building the head/block and for less money 🤷🏻♂️ 9th Gen is a sexier bulky version of the 8th,
Yes because Teggys were made in Japan with the Vin Number starting as J and The Em1 Si Started with Number 1 which is obviously the U.S so yeah that's what he meant
Had an 8th gen base model (07 DX-G 5 speed) and loved it. Drove my buddy's 9th and 10th gen and got inspired. A month ago, I bought a 10th gen Si (FC3.) No regrets.
On the 1/8 miles and 1/4 not a single one 8th and 9th gen SI have put in front of me trough the years 2014-2017, 2014-2015 I was stock with stock ecu just good tires 2016-2017 b18c camshaft and a dyno tune to 152whp, And with given the fact that the EM1 have disadvantages to not have an LSD when I put a LSD b16b transmission and a dc2 swaybar, the car handle way better than a similar mod 8th or 9th, or at least I didn’t toast my brake on 10min of track like my buddy

Don’t let this video distract you from The fact that Hector is gonna be running three Honda Civics with Spoon engines. On top of that, he just came into Harry’s and ordered three T66 turbos with NOS, and a Motec system exhaust.
I owned a 99 Sir and a 2000 Sir (I'm up in Canada). It had a few extra options than the American Si if I remember correctly, one being heated outside mirrors. Either way, 2 of the best cars I ever owned. That B16 screamed to 9000 rpm and reliable as all hell. Also had daytime running lights and ABS. I don't believe the US Si had those features

@@garboi8976 sorry I’m so late to reply. As far as interior, it holds up to everyday use pretty well. I would say that the center console area cloth and the door cloth gets pretty used looking but, wiping them down ever so often does the trick. I changed the shifter as well( I went with acuity short shifter). Everything else is pretty much stock and it been pretty good to me. I hope this helps
@@garboi8976 Also, the infotainment system is pretty good as well. It does take pairing it twice to get your device to show up( just when you want the name of the song being played to show up, close the app then open app back up).

@@michalpupek5731 I have a bad left knee, so I had to get an auto. I had an accord witha manual, Think Im going to get the 2.0T with 10speed . With a tune they get down, plus not on the cops radar like a civic or type R
@@byoung587 that’s a great color! ive had my silver FA5 for a few months now and love it! how is the paint? I made sure to get 2009+ bc Honda fixed their paint issues
People didn't like them because everyone was following the four doors I don't know what's so speacil about 4 door si coupes were always more sportier looking
My favs are probably the same as most people... 99-00 and 06-11. I have a 2010 SI, I will probably have it forever. I love it. Long live high revving NA engines.
Hey Fitment Ind... I'm curious to see what the episode for the Nissan Sentra would look like, especially the year everyone forgets about yet is probably the best, 1999 SE LIMITED
Don’t know if this counts but if you want to get technical there’s a model missing. 93-94 del sol. Before the mid model change it was called the civic del sol in the us (technically it was a 3rd gen crx). However id like to point out what a lot of people forget was this model came in s and si trim. In 1994 the si vtec model was introduced. It was the first introduction of the b16 in the us, 5 years before the em1 debuted. In 95 they dropped the civic from the name so technically the 1994 model was the first true b16 vtec si.
Yeah... the EP3 was like that last donut in the box no one wanted cause it had no flavor. Between the weird shifter location and that weak K series everyone pretty much passed lol.
The SCCA dumped the 1st gen CRX si into the same class in autocross as the Corvette when it was released. It will always be my favorite Si. My favorite Civic would be the EF sedan. They look so clean lowered on some nice wheels.
Now do a video about SiR level offered in europe and japan the CRX SiR and the EF9 SiR and the EG6 SiR and the EK4 SiR all of them made around 168hp-174hp from factory
Can you do a video on the Honda fits ? Not too many ppl know about them and even tho they don’t have much hp,they’re still fun to drive. I think the 2006-2008 Honda Fit got its looks from the 2004 civic hatchback
EM1 is definitely a great Civic, and the EM1 Si is fantastic! EM2's can go jump in a compactor, with all of the engine, transmission, and electrical gremlins they came with - and the shitty cheap interiors. Still, my favorite is the ED/EF. Love that generation, always have. Once I can rebuild my sedan...
Do a fit on the FIT! It's got a bigger following than the civics overseas. 1st 2nd and third gen, the useful now discontinued model of honda with a low power engine but shows off civic hatch vibes
for me it's the 89 EF hatch because it was the starting platform for the kanjo runners in japan or the 95 EG hatch or coupe as it's the most agressive-looking one of the 90s and the weight dist is spot on. sucks people are destroying all the nice examples though, at one point it's going to cost 10s of thousands just to buy an Si
No mention whatsoever of the Del Sol Si ?! It was a CR-X outside the US and a Civic in the States. I do agree with you though the 99 Si is the best. That's why I converted my 96 ex to a 99 Si :) One day I'll get her back on the road lol
I have a 2011 si sedan and love it and with 155k miles it runs flawlessly and it’s none stock I highly recommend a civic si but the 8th gen is my favorite

I plan on keeping it for a long time, and eventually getting a Type-R when the price on those come down. I
There only going up in price from here.
I get giddy everytime someone gives my beloved CRXs a shout-out lol
Had a Ep3 2002 si, sold it bought a nb miata, hated it, then bought a wrx, hated it, went back and got another ep3 si lol. I Love those lil cars!
EK SERIES ALL THE WAY BABYYYYYYYY I loved the EK/EM chassis
Yes thank u I have a b16 swap 00 civic 4 door with all si parts even down 2 the interior
I own a 95 delsol, with orig. B16a3, and i love it, i turbo charged it, redline went from 8200rpm, to 9200rpm, its a blast to drive👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
8th gen sedan all day. Miss driving mine still winter
what about the civic del sol si? does that just get grouped with the eg hatch?
Long Live the Sol!
I bought my 9th gen 7 months ago and I love it
throw a turbo in !
Literally buying a 2015 coupe in 2 days. How do you feel about the interior/amenities after 7 months
@@garboi8976 sorry I’m so late to reply. As far as interior, it holds up to everyday use pretty well. I would say that the center console area cloth and the door cloth gets pretty used looking but, wiping them down ever so often does the trick. I changed the shifter as well( I went with acuity short shifter). Everything else is pretty much stock and it been pretty good to me. I hope this helps
@@garboi8976 Also, the infotainment system is pretty good as well. It does take pairing it twice to get your device to show up( just when you want the name of the song being played to show up, close the app then open app back up). I would buy a subwoofer to get more bass but other than that it’s awesome
If they had put the a2 instead of the a3 in the Ep3, it would've been the best si imo.
Pretty much.
I’m getting the 2020 SI later this year
8TH GEN GANG REPRESENT!
I've put over 110k on my FA and NEVER even a Check engine light. Think Ill just keep it as a second car If i get a new one some day
My dad finding me an LX convinced me to save for an Si
@@michalpupek5731 I have a bad left knee, so I had to get an auto. I had an accord witha manual, Think Im going to get the 2.0T with 10speed . With a tune they get down, plus not on the cops radar like a civic or type R
@@byoung587 that’s a great color! ive had my silver FA5 for a few months now and love it! how is the paint? I made sure to get 2009+ bc Honda fixed their paint issues
GANG
RSX Type S!
I'm with ya
My favourite is the Civic FD2R Type R
Fr 🥴
Same here homie 11 more years until we get it in the states ima def get one imported when the face lifted versions are available for import
just bought a 8th gen civic si sedan :D
SEAN, PLEASE DO AN EPISODE FOR AMG!! You know which one is the hidden gem and you’re the perfect person to talk about it
EM1 in that Elec Blue is the best ever, mind you it is the one that was out while I was in high school
Can’t believe how many people slept on the 10th gen si coupe
People didn't like them because everyone was following the four doors I don't know what's so speacil about 4 door si coupes were always more sportier looking
My favs are probably the same as most people... 99-00 and 06-11. I have a 2010 SI, I will probably have it forever. I love it. Long live high revving NA engines.
I really miss my older civics, I currently daily an 02 RSX type s but totally would go back to an em1
Eg is the best platform hands down, especially with a k swap. Video officially done!
I've got a 1990 CRX Si with a B18b now buying a 10th gen Si Coupe for the daily excellent cars no doubt.
Hey Fitment Ind... I'm curious to see what the episode for the Nissan Sentra would look like, especially the year everyone forgets about yet is probably the best, 1999 SE LIMITED
Ive owned a lot of Hondas. I own 2 civics now, still don’t have an SI. Maybe one day....
Not the fastest lil cars till you boost em..but fun as hell to drive though lol
There is difference between fast and quick... civic are quick fun cars but I wouldn’t call them fast..
Definitely not winning many any traffic light races with them. They truly shine in corners given that you don’t ignore tires
Em1 is the goat of course, but 8th gens are right there with the same kind of package too. Love my 06 si
I got a 10th gen si, the tunes for this thing are INSANE. I’ve beaten cars I definitely should not have beaten...
Don’t know if this counts but if you want to get technical there’s a model missing. 93-94 del sol. Before the mid model change it was called the civic del sol in the us (technically it was a 3rd gen crx). However id like to point out what a lot of people forget was this model came in s and si trim. In 1994 the si vtec model was introduced. It was the first introduction of the b16 in the us, 5 years before the em1 debuted. In 95 they dropped the civic from the name so technically the 1994 model was the first true b16 vtec si.
Yeah... the EP3 was like that last donut in the box no one wanted cause it had no flavor. Between the weird shifter location and that weak K series everyone pretty much passed lol.
The SCCA dumped the 1st gen CRX si into the same class in autocross as the Corvette when it was released. It will always be my favorite Si. My favorite Civic would be the EF sedan. They look so clean lowered on some nice wheels.
I got a 2012 Civic Si because I wanted a K24. The only regret I have is not buying a 2013.
Why?
The EFs and EGs are the best all time!! I own a JDM B18C SIR-G swapped 1990 civic Si. I will keep this car forever!
I got the same motor in my crx
My favorite Honda would have to be a 93 Civic sedan had one for a couple years
Now do a video about SiR level offered in europe and japan the CRX SiR and the EF9 SiR and the EG6 SiR and the EK4 SiR all of them made around 168hp-174hp from factory
First time I’ve heard Sean raise his voice😳
1:11
Can you do a video on the Honda fits ? Not too many ppl know about them and even tho they don’t have much hp,they’re still fun to drive. I think the 2006-2008 Honda Fit got its looks from the 2004 civic hatchback
EM1 is definitely a great Civic, and the EM1 Si is fantastic! EM2's can go jump in a compactor, with all of the engine, transmission, and electrical gremlins they came with - and the shitty cheap interiors.
Still, my favorite is the ED/EF. Love that generation, always have. Once I can rebuild my sedan...
Sab em2 owner here
Do a fit on the FIT! It's got a bigger following than the civics overseas. 1st 2nd and third gen, the useful now discontinued model of honda with a low power engine but shows off civic hatch vibes
Definitely agree. EM1 and also 8th gen si were the best
I had a 2000 em1 and that car was my baby! 💯
Love my 8th gen Si coupe. Its a super fun daily!
for me it's the 89 EF hatch because it was the starting platform for the kanjo runners in japan or the 95 EG hatch or coupe as it's the most agressive-looking one of the 90s and the weight dist is spot on. sucks people are destroying all the nice examples though, at one point it's going to cost 10s of thousands just to buy an Si
No mention whatsoever of the Del Sol Si ?! It was a CR-X outside the US and a Civic in the States. I do agree with you though the 99 Si is the best. That's why I converted my 96 ex to a 99 Si :) One day I'll get her back on the road lol
More on the acura RSX? 🤷
Please
Rsx type s 03, I love this pos more than my 370z
Yes. 2003 acura rsx type s. Is my life. Dc5 life. Love more than my other 6 cars 😂🤷
Great vid! Been wanting a video like this. looking for a daily to go along the sports car 😎
I have a 2011 si sedan and love it and with 155k miles it runs flawlessly and it’s none stock I highly recommend a civic si but the 8th gen is my favorite
1 min Into the video I subbed! That seat belt chime is a pain n the ass! I’m rocking a 7th gen civic with 383,500 km still a beast!
That’s wild! My daily has 325k miles and runs great!
@@FitmentIndustries just can’t kill a Honda!
Might as well do the GTI next
Wasn’t the civic del solo the first civic with a b16
No, they had had the d series
@@juliogarcia5304 nope it came with a b16a1 as a option. The 99 civic had a b16a2
Yep 94-97 VTEC trim had one.
@@daddymacksam 96 and 97 got the a2 also. Pre 96 had the b16a3
My 2018 Civic Ex just came in yesterday I LOVE ITT answering any questions
Also I’m 18 too I may also need further education on anything I’m missing about the car
Fg2 was my favorite car I owned :)
"So you want a Volvo C30/V50/S40 T5" it's got the same engine as the Euro spec Mk2 Ford Focus RS
I have an 8th gen fg2 I love it!
