To be honest I wouldn’t do anything to my R18. It is my daily 07 lx with 310k on her. I see it as it’s their car let them do what they want to it. Want more potential get an SI
Easy to say. I got too attached and excited with my 1st car I got to know when I was 18. I already invested 6k and gutted it all out Kanjo style. R18 SOHC LX has its own benefits. It’s 250 lbs lighter, has better economy and torque... If you look at it - it’s a little brother of Si and I love it. It’s a decent little fun car to drive and learn the basics without the risk of grinding gears and such. My less fortunate peers and classmates who ride 75¢ loser cruiser or drive 4dr beaten up shitboxes dream to have something like this. I’m blessed to have it as a 1st gen broke af immigrant. I admit, K20 can do sports better than R18 no doubt. When the time comes - I’ll swap K20 in because I always crave more from R18. Also I’m not pretending I have an Si or Type R w/ badges or ricing it out, I don’t hide what I have. There is no shame in owning what you have if you take care of it. Even a tastefully done, period correct (or not) Cavalier can get respects. At least you own it, not the bank.
I would agree with this if you want more performance. People who are trying to save money and still have a good time the R18 isn’t bad. Good gas mileage, regular gas, cheap insurance. Save the money and when you have the money and experience driving stick you can get anything. STI, type R, muscle, anything. Me personally I have an 07 manual civic ex I’ve put a skunk2 exhaust and kn short ram with tasteful cosmetic mods. It’s my commuting car. When I crave speed, I just hop on my bike. 17’ D675R 💯

I'm conflicted. I bought a cold air intake but lots of owners say they end up getting a check engine light because of it. So I bought a short ram one as well to test and see which one to keep. Those who have complained have not had any type of tune. I do not have anyone to do a time for me. I just want to put it on and that's all. So yeah... 🤷♂️
You’ll need a tune if you pick up an intake with bigger housing. Hybrid, Skunk2, ktuner intakes are all 3.5 inch. So those will need a tune or the car will run funny Anything else like aem, injen, or k&n won’t unless specified in the description

Hey so recently I bought a fa5,and I’m having trouble going from 1-6 while “hitting v-Tec” many think is my Transmission but I think it’s the cmc system
I watched you video from 2 years ago about what to look for when buying a si I found one for $3,000 cash it stick shift what motor would be in it it’s a 2007 civic si 2door ? Thanks man
Power curve yes but only because an automatic gear box takes longer for the power to hit the wheels. Example FWD 200hp crank for a Manuel you’ll get like 170whp. 200hp auto you’ll get like 155whp - 160whp.
I'VE GOT TEIN LOWERING SPRINGS ON MY STOCK STRUTS CAR LOOKS LOWERED DRIVES EXCELLENT I MYSELF WOULDN'T SWITCH TO COIL OVERS WHY MY CAR HANDLES EXCELLENT WITH TEIN SPRINGS
I just bought an 8th gen Si, previously owned a DC5 but I keep getting this VSA light that I see on your car as well, is that anything to worry about, or is that normal with the 8th gens?
First, fix park brake handle. Second, replace door stays Third fix broken exhaust Fourth get winter tires before you slide into the car in front of you. (Too late?) Fifth through 100 learn body work scour wreckers, buy paint and watch 2 weeks of TH-cam learning body work buying items. Wait for dry weather to start bodywork, get delayed by life... start again 2 years later. Fml
Can you make a video about checking the temperature on the si I dont see it on the dash ...an I need your help I habe plugs random dont know where they plug to. I just bought my 2012 si as a project I got lost with these newer teck dash stuff
Thats a steal i just picked up the same spec rpf1 for my fa5 for 500$ from a friend. All i had to do was run a 3mm spacer up front to clear suspension. No issues so far. On 235/40 tires and damn they sit perfect
For all my R18 owners watching this, the best top 5 mods are as followed: 1. Sell it and buy an Si.
The end.

Great video. I'm in the market for a gen 8 and I really enjoy your videos.
Where did you get the black grill?
Been looking for this video! Good job man.
In another world... you would own a type s instead of Civic si
Pharaoh J yessir... I love those things. I wouldn’t mind picking up one in the future lol
Tony Castillo yeah you should... especially the 05-06 with the k20z1
Pharaoh El Capo k20z1 are slow big power no torque lol
Great vid man thanks for the tips, this was very useful for me!!

Hey so recently I bought a fa5,and I’m having trouble going from 1-6 while “hitting v-Tec” many think is my Transmission but I think it’s the cmc system
What do u think I would like it if u recommend something
I’m buying a 2020 si. I’m looking for a shop in Los Angeles that sells & installs the parts. Can you recommend any?
Los santos customs
obviously he has HFP lip kit but where do you get the splitter on the front?
I’m 6’0 and want a si will it be a good fit for me 😂?
Yea
Hey bro! You still have that 1320 performance header on your Si? And if you do how you like it ?
Daniel E yeah I still do and it’s aight. Skunk2 header is a lot louder and sounds better
@@TdaKid cool so you saying saved up a little bit more and get the skunk2 instead
Daniel E yeah
I would... only if you’re going catless
@@TdaKid I was thinking about go with invidia n1 70mm exhaust
Bottom line, budget dictates everything 😂
Bro where did you get you front bumper bro
It’s just a stock bumper with a HFP Kit
The splitter is eBay
Thank you bro. i have the sedan si but didn't come which the frog lights hole

BIG NICK M K20Z3
All civic SI are stick shift, they don’t make them in automatics
I got one today for 3100
salsaman9696 thanks
I prefer automatic over manual. Would that take away from the power curve at high speed?
Power curve yes but only because an automatic gear box takes longer for the power to hit the wheels. Example FWD 200hp crank for a Manuel you’ll get like 170whp. 200hp auto you’ll get like 155whp - 160whp.
Hey bro how much you spend in the mods I want to put some mods in my civic ex 2006
what front lip is that!? thanks :)
What your windows tinted 20%
Yes
Tony Castillo I like your Honda Civic si. All 20% all around.
Well I feel part of the mod Honda Civic family for once🤪

so is a megapower exhuast good for an si ?
It’s fine. Exhaust on these cars are going to be more of a preference. Skunk2 it too obnoxiously loud for my taste. I’m rocking a full race exhaust
He said Pepsi and Coke are the same sorry but had to leave this video cause can’t trust you
Lol
not to be that guy buuuuuuut ktuner is defs leaps and boundz better for the 10th Gen Si
