These are my favorite series. Cheap/attainable daily drivers with simple mods
Wish you can find a 8th gen in decent shape now they are getting 240sx bad
@@mauricemotors8207 yup, the bmw’s are getting to that point as well. At least anything 2010-older
@@mauricemotors8207 so accurate unfortunately, especially the sedans. you can still find coupes that aren't too hammered

@@oshenc1481 stg bro shits crazy out here
the 8th gen civic has got to be one of the best looking hondas ever made, period.
Eg hatch and the ek
AGREED!
There are So many others . 8 th gen needs all the plastic surgery to look attractive
It’s my favorite civic ever and my 2nd favorite Honda ever !
You guys are like the Canadian equivalent of mighty car mods, its great i wanna see a collab
No they're more wholesome
But way better
They are better because MCM is stuck Riced Civic & bikes
+1
They r not even close man come on
K is the way. This is my first Honda and 6 speed. Learned stick in it. Mine is a 2011 and I bought it with 85k on it. Now I have the HR CAI, K-tuned header, full 3in exhaust, Hasport 62a mounts, Tein Flex Zs, Skunk2 RCAs, Acuity Stage 1 shift kit, and customed tuned. About to install a J35 TB soon. Plan on going SC'd in the near future.
J is the way. If not J then C series.
Seeing the way cars look everywhere else makes me super happy to live in Arizona
Texas, I hate how my car runs with the heat down here but man I'll take less power over rust anyday
Michigan here, feel their pain
I live in az and the paint on my 8th gen does not love it lol
I agree bro lol. I recently got a Type R and I'm living in Florida. My work was asking me to transfer to NY. Besides other reasons we won't get into, The horrendous road conditions and salt is enough for me to say no. It's not worth even trying to own a nice car there. It's going to get trashed. There are potholes 10 inches deep on a daily basis.
I own a 2009 Civic SI Coupe in that same beautiful orange color. I track it at PPIR here in Colorado and I love this car. Comfortable, looks good, fun, reliable, sounds great, revs past 8,000rpm and once you learn the Scandinavian Flick it's a complete blast on track.
@Shad0wscale I highly recommend it.
Scandinavian flick? could you explain
@@fdyujyrsvhyjn “The Scandinavian flick, Finnish flick, pendulum turn, or Scandi flick is a technique used predominantly in ice racing and rallying. The technique induces oversteer using weight transfer to carry a vehicle through a turn while simultaneously reducing speed.”
@@CruiseControl1 Oh cool! thanks
One of the best sounding civics, doesn’t sound like a fart can
Still sounds like a toy tho
@@Socialarchitectness well yeah but at least they understood how to make a car sound good for what it has instead of making it loud
this generation is civics is notorious for sounding like a fart can. i had one in high school which i cut the resonator cats n muffler off of and it sounded horrible
its because they skipped out on the most important piece to make power on these things which was the header. so obviously its not gonna sound like a "fart can".
I love how they’re very humble with their mods it isn’t completely riced out and perfectly affordable while looking like it belongs a nice upgrade to look sleeker and honestly more fun :)
Ricing out Hondas in 2k22 is basically dead only people that do that do it on purpose at this point imo 😂😂😂
@@daytonrhine5167 well that’s the point is to do it on purpose because that person would want to… also it is not dead at all. Most people have “riced out Hondas”
@@daytonrhine5167 nigga ur old asf 💀
@@R4MIREZ. most people have riced out Hondas? No
@@Cosmic555sw what did you mean by this? But where I live I see it all the time
I love my Fa5. It's nearly a perfect platform for you to build whatever you like. I'm looking forward to the completion of this build
I've thought about selling my 8th gen for 2 years now to get something different, but everyday I end up loving it again.
Can you guys please keep doing these quick and easy car builds? I’m a newbie to the car community and I love learning about how to do builds at a low cost. You guys are great
YESS!!
Low cost builds are fun to watch, but they fall apart as quickly as they are assembled.
This stuff is for show..
Most of the mods on the cheap wont make it through the year.
Whenever your using 3m tape on a car, well you know 😆
It's back! Yes all the overpriced JDM legends are cool but lets be honest no one got time for that been there done that
As I saw the thumbnail I said ..
That's exactly why I subscribe to this channel.😎
Just did the Hybrid intake and a flashpro about a month ago, along with a lightweight flywheel and better clutch and what a difference. Having owned the car for 6 years and just now getting around to doing stuff like I previously mentioned, it’s like a completely different car
I have one of these cars and I love it! It’s fun to drive and really reliable. I would 10/10 recommend it to someone who wants a quicker car that’s still good on gas and doesn’t want to be under the hood every weekend
i own a 8th gen! glad to see another 8th gen getting some love. They are amazing cars.
I have this exact same honda civic si with the same colour The guy who drives the car actually seen me working one day and I walked up to him and started talking to him from then I've been watching you guys all the time after that tbh
you guys should get the hfp style side skirt and rear lip for it as well to complete the body mads and give the lower portion of the car a level appearane
I was thinking the same the rear looks really bare
I bought an 2007 Civic LX coupe for $1500 and am swapping a K20A in right now. New mount kit coming from Hasport for that soon. I also bought a 2007 Civic Hybrid Sedan for $1500 to daily. Bad batteries in that one, so swapping a K20A Type R engine in that. So another mount kit coming for that chassis too. I really love the styling of that car, so happy to see you guys giving them some love.
I bought Yonaka Exhaust for my 2008 Civic Si FG2 after watching this series. I am very happy with it. The first day I had it on I thought it was too loud, but then I just got used to it. It sounds and looks nice, 👍
Hearing the way you guys talk about the 8th Gen Si really makes me so happy
Makes me miss my 2007 Habanero Red Civic Si. It was my first new car and what got me into modifying cars. Threw a Jackson Racing supercharger on it Vibrant catback and header (when they used to make them... bring them back!!!) Also had all the usual mods. 297whp of fun!
Mannnnn habanero red has grown on me. At first I was set on blue or white but settled with the red and never looked back
Very excited for this build series. Going to be purchasing some of these parts for my own Si I think. That exhaust is a great deal and sounds perfect for a daily.
Redline Orange Pearl gang!!!!!! No big channels ever do 8th gen Si's. Bought a supercharged ROP Fa5 a couple months ago and its been the single most fun car I've ever owned.
This is exactly the car I’m looking for for my father ! A stick shift 8th gen Si !! I’m definitely gonna enjoy this series !
All Si come standard lol
These make me want a lift for my garage. Then I remember I am a crappy mechanic. Love these short builds.
Owned one of these FA5s for almost 10 years before trading it in for a 4 runner. Car was so fun and i still think to this day its one of the funnest cars to own for the money
I bought a 2007 FA5 in 2011 fresh out of basic training with 70k miles for $15k. Today with around the same or even a little more mileage the price is exactly the same. It's got 205k on it now, but this past winter I pulled the engine out, bore/honed the block up to 86.5mm, put in forged JE pistons, Skunk2 Alpha forged rods, resurfaced/rebuilt the head with new valves, Manley dual valve springs, seals, plus replaced all of the engine seals and gaskets along with the timing/oil pump chains and tensioners. Got the Hasport motor mount set as the stock ones were pretty beat. Also replaced some other parts like the water pump, auto tensioner, a/c compressor and condenser. The K20z3 is a tank, it didn't necessarily need a full rebuild, but figured why not, especially wanted to beef it up to be able to handle a turbo. Taught myself how to do all of this and did everything by myself aside from the machining parts. Very rewarding experience and now I know how to fix everything with the car.
In hindsight I should have just built this car out from the beginning instead of buying an FK8 Type R as the K20z3 is a much more potent engine than the K20C1 right out the gate, and wayyyy cheaper to build too. Plus the z3 is port injection so upgrading fueling is much easier and cheaper. Put the Hondata direct injection fuel system in the Type R and that was $3k for just a ~24% increase in fuel flow.
great to see you guys giving the 8th gen some love, they're a fantastic daily for the money. i've had mine for 4 years now and it just continues to be a ton of fun. that Yonaka system came out of nowhere with that tone, i had no idea they sounded that nice.
How is gas mileage? I've got a Veloster N and my new job will have me driving 40 miles one way (which is nothing new to me), but I don't wanna put the miles on it. I've looked at 8th and 9th gen Si Civics to use as a daily as long as I can get over 30 mpg on the highway.
@@PacoRobbins so, if you're running typical all season treadwear tires you're looking at like 32-34 highway and 26 around town, assuming you drive calmly. I'm now running Michelin PS4S 225 widths on wider wheels and it's dropped my highway mileage by 2mpg now because they're obviously stickier. best highway MPG i ever saw was 34 at a 78mph cruise with the car fully loaded with people going up the east coast during an 11hr road trip.
@@scottyb226 perfect. I could handle that. Guess once I get going at this job and get a little saved I'll try to find one that isn't too beat up.
@@PacoRobbins awesome - but that's the key. they tend to be owned by a younger crowd that just rawdogs the hell out of them. you can avoid a number of issues buying from a knowledgeable or original owner regardless of mileage. def take your time on the hunt.
Watching that exhaust hanger removal tool in action was soooo satisfying....
That was WAY easier than trying to pry the damn thing the tradional way
Turbo 8th gen checking in here.. Amazing car been boosted for 3+ years as my daily driver 😁😁
OMG...i had 2 FA5 sedans back in the say... both bought new... that K20 and transmission is just soo much fun!
I remember how great that exhaust note was even stock! Honda turned that exhaust beautifully
very appropriate series for me so very excited to stumble upon this. My summer driven 2010 Si 2door, with 85K kms set me back about $10K CAN. But I love it all the same!
My first car was an 8th gen civic, I loved that car. I always wanted an Si so maybe one day when I have more garage space I’ll pick one up for nostalgias sake.
Favorite generation Civic Si. Naturally Aspirated, K20, LSD, Manual, and a useable 4-Door. Awesome!
I’ve always loved that gen’s sedan’s backend and taillights a lot. Even more than any other Honda, including the S2k and NSX.
Idk why… it just looks so clean and sharp. I wonder if I’m the only one that thinks that.
I second the back end design, its just well executed and clean esp the taillights
The Japanese front and rear is even better
@@Gen10civic Their version is ugly on front. Our Version is close to Japanese version here in PH and it looks beautiful front to back.
To me the coupe looks way better The back fits it more, the rear of the sedan makes it look like 2 different cars
@@tyreseevans42 nah mate it looks well and sharp. One of the best looking Honda’s
Dude love the Si project build. Wish you guys did CSX type S because we didn’t get it in the states. So it would be cool to see a CSX build! Lucky Canadians lol
Ran into a guy with one while I was at the self-wash with my RSX Type-S; I was like: 'Huh, that sounds familiar!"
I had no idea you guys didn't get those in the US! They are alarmingly common here. A friend of mine had one that he did a full FD3 Civic Type R body conversion on!
we didnt get the SI in europe and me is always gonna be sad for it
nice touches guys, always admire ur taste.
except the holes left behind for the spoiler
Excited to see what you guys do with it. I bought my 8th gen 4 door si in 2016 and it still runs strong after 123k miles. Such great little, fun, reliable cars
I'm happy to see this build. Reminds me of when I used to work on my 8th gen civic (non-Si). I'm not too sure about the rear Mugen rep wing. The HFP front lip and rear lip really do a lot to change the look of these cars. I also think doing something about the chrome on the rear trunk (colour match?) of the refreshed 8th gen would clean things up in the back.
+1 on that’s statement, chrome accent was never a good choice on Honda’s part. That’s should’ve been exclusive to the csx
Word! , that new wing needs to go. Same with chrome details
8th gen si😍definitely one of the best si ever Made
HOLY CRAP WHY AND HOW? HOW DOES THAT SOUND SO GOOD. Im in love with the sound that exhaust produced!
One of the first actual "cold" air intake I've seen someone put on a civic
should just get a mugen rr bumper. it looks amazing 10:07
1. that hanger removal too is something I didn't know I needed
2. I don't know why I never thought of attaching the hanger BEFORE bolting everything up. I always worked with the small wiggle room after everything was put together...
3:55 Yep, I've been there. I had a Nissan Sentra SE-R Spec V with a cold air intake I hydro locked which bent a valve and eventually threw a rod. Definitely learned from that.
Just got an 8th gen si and have been trying to decide what to do with it, finally some inspiration!
Don’t let this distract you from the fact that Hector is going to be running three Honda civics with spoon engines, and on top of that, he just went into Harry’s and bought three t66 turbos with nos, and a motec system exhaust.
Price of the 8th gen just went up ⬆️
bro its been up over here in Cali
@@marccandrift that and they’re all destroyed
He said around 4k? Hahaha yeah let me see those 4k Si's. No way. Si's go for over 7k any day.
@@zurielvalladares5947 I'm sure they mean that those are the normal prices where there from. I'm not sure where your located but where Speed Academy is basically all cars are rusty and the buyers/sellers know that . Cars will always be cheaper in places like that . Im in Florida so every car is expensive here but the are clean chassis . Now clean titles thats a whole other story lol.
The cheapest si in my area has 180K miles and goes for 8K lmao.
One thing I used to do when I was younger was put small pieces of vinyl over the holes and it worked pretty good and you didnt have anything sticking up.
Love this. From Cape Town South Africa. Honda has a cult following over here.
One thing that most youtubers omit to mention is the shipping cost and (for us Canadian) duty fees, sometimes it cost more than the item itself.
They’re probably shipping their stuff to the US, and picking it up there 9/10 free shipping. I saw Dave there once lol right before the pandemic picking up goodies for their 2jz e46 m3.
True sometimes it doesn’t make sense , but if your willing to drive to the border you may save some coin
For the rear plugs you can go to vinyl shop and have them cut out some circles. Than just paint those and stick them on. Water tight and super flush. Car is looking good so far.
Love the mugen gen 8s ^^
And they come factory k20 :D
60k views in a day? Last civic video did over a mil. You guys should do ome of these type of vids every few weeks. Will probably make your channel HUGE
Now if your interested in really doing this to an 8th gen si, use this guide instead:
1) Detail + Ceramic coat
2) Fluids + Brakes
3) invidia q300 catback (Highest quality off the shelf exhaust, sounds excellent and never rasps)
4) Stock wheels + 200TW tires (Save money, invest in what matters + stock wheels look great and are enkei)
5) Stock airbox w/ K&N drop in filter (Hybrid CAI gives MINOR gains at the risk of getting hydro-locked. Stock airbox is excellent on the 8th gen si and s2000. For N/A setup the stock airbox is more than adequate.
solid OEM+ car and still retains the stock look collectors will love in 10 years or so
I saw this outside the shop yesterday! Had a feeling it was part of the mod my ride series.
Yikes. You creeping on their shop, bud?
@@Hawk7886 i work right around the corner from the shop.
@@renatoradjenovic3384 that's a relief. I was worried it might turn into a Cleetus situation where they had random "fans" just hanging around their shop at all hours of the day.
Dave with the shutter shades and rubber ducky really got me
Yes!! I had an 07 Si and absolutely loved it. Coilovers, full bolt on, hondata flash pro and it felt and revved like a 4 door sport bike. So much fun. I want another one one day, although now I love eating them up on the highway in my Speed3 😂 love this series guys, super underrated channel!
I doubt your speed3 would eat up one if it was K24 swapped though lol
@@mitchellhamilton1753 just a bolt on K24 NA? Not sure, but I’ve played with an 8th gen turbo Si totally stock and it was basically even. I’m tuned with full intake so I doubt an NA K24 would keep up on the highway but idk 🤷🏻♂️
@@jakejackson8395 Shit well I'm not sure then, my buddy had a speed 3 and it was kinda slow, I'm not sure if an intake with a tune would really be a game changer
I mean, it would've had about as much power as a sport bike, lol
@@mitchellhamilton1753 if you look it up, it surprisingly is a big change for them. The factory has boost limited in 1st and 2nd gear and it falls off hard up top. With a tune alone it really wakes it up, and the intake makes a big difference especially the turbo inlet pipe
Dang thats a clean orange civic 🥵
Wow I was not expecting that exhaust to sound so good. Really really nice.
Love to see 8th gen content. Nobody seems to really do it
I own the same car! 2009 same color fully stock, I NEVER see this color anywhere this is sick!
Yes!!!! My exact same car. Same color too. Love my Si. Hybrid racing intake 👍
Yonaka exhaust meh, doesnt sound bad but Full Race is the way to go with 8th gen Si's. Mugen spoiler is a no go for me👎. Hate how that looks. Front lip 👍. Btw is MOOGEN not Mewgen. Cant wait for next episode.
I really like my yonaka I bought for my 01 crv. You guys are the reason I bought it and my aem intake for it as well
The exact car I’m looking for in that exact spec 😭 neeeeed one
got my 06 si coupe for $3900 us earlier this year. Clean title and completely stock. One owner before me
Might just be nostalgia talking but the 99-00 Si was my fave ❤️ love this series. Thx eBay motors.
2:25 amazing what you can find in an engine bay of a Honda
As a 9th gen Civic owner, this made my Saturday. Excited to see the rest of this surprise build. I’m also interested to see how those Enkei’s look on it too!
Dave, the oem hose clamps are not going to work as intended on the aftermarket radiator hoses. They don't clamp down hard enough to prevent a leak. Had overheating issues and coolant loss because the oem spring clamp was allowing a slow leak from the thinner silicone upper rad hose. ended up replacing every single one with worm gear or other style clamp with more clamping force. No leaks now.
Thats odd. Hybrid stays to reuse them so we’ll see.
@@speedacademy the hoses might be different considering 6th gen and 8th gen civics.
Ya’ll messed up that man’s trunk just to install some cheap rear spoiler.
😂
I like thw OEM spoiler better. That Mugen looks like crap.
@@zurielvalladares5947 mugen one def looks cheap, especially when its not OEM and no supporting side mugen skirts and visors...
@@gallardo20000 I agree… it looks tacky
Got to agree with this one guys
Dad's always have the best deals, I bought my mom's old 2001 Honda civic off of him and it was $1900 with a BRAND NEW transmission in it lol
Finally another HONDA video! I have a 2014 honda civic si sedan and I love it! The 8th gen is a easy car but I like the 9th gen more because there's not alot of videos for the 9th gen. Hope to see a 9th gen video
Nice work guys! Those 8th gens are really great cars!
Now this video is out my car is gonna be worth another 2k thank you speed academy
Same now we can sell for more than what we got it for
@@angelrodriguez7647 fr
I feel most the time the car prices are pulling my leg. No where have I seen any Si for $3500. Been a few episodes like this that make me scratch my head.
Love those orange hfp sedan Si, best color for the Si in my opinion.
I had a Yonaka exhaust on my DC5-S a few years ago. Went from rusted factory exhaust to a long tube cat delete with a replica Twin Loop muffler which was loud as Fuck. I had preordered the dc5 kit before it was released and I loved it. No drone even with a no cat.
This is awesome because I actually wanted one of these before I got my 335i. Still love how these look
@@VAR1UM WOAAHHH someone got smoked by a civic 😂💀
All fun and games until those POS turbos go
@@VAR1UM come out to Cayuga , I’m sure there’s an audience for that kinda stuff
Race Cayuga roadcourse, where overweight RWD barges tend to get dunked on by children's cars.
@@VAR1UM if you're talking about handling, nobody is arguing RWD isn't the most challenging, but putting any car on the edge and keeping it there takes skill.
I'm still pissed that I waited so long to get a OE Honda HFP rear lip for my FG2 that they went out of stock permanently. The fact that I paid 18.9K for mine tells you how long I've had it lol. Still in love with it though. Hybrid CAI and Flashpro are the best first mods for sure.
You guys deserve more subs this channel is 🔥 I am biased being living in Ottawa though lol
Best episodes to see in your channel pimp my Ride
One of these bad boys went for 3,000 in my city can’t wait till I get my hands on one 😤
Redline orange has always been my favorite. Rare color though
That and habanero red on fa5 are hard as hell to comeby
This is the best generation of civic
Just got one for 5k 8th gen coupe. Pretty good for the money I paid for. They ain't fast but much more fun to drive than other cars in this class.
I love your welding skirt!!
Crazy the amount of rust you guys in Canada can get away with, in my country this would be considered a rust bucket and would take a shitload of rust repair before it gets a pass and is allowed back on the road
Yeah during the winters the bottoms of the cars get really messed up because of the anti ice salt they have to put on the road everywhere
If surface rust is all that would disqualify a car, then you'd have to buy a new one every three years in a place that gets snow.
@@Hype679 we don't really get much snow here and we don't salt the roads
@@Blarg217 We salt ours. That's a "GG no re" at this point. You better have a daily.
Thank god were not living in your country
Yes . Just yes!! This is what i want to see!!! 8th gen love!!!!!
Ok, it's pretty cool that you are modding the car of a friend, I respect that
Great find guys. My ND Miata had a run for it's money with a gokart racing kid behind the wheel of this same civic si. He drove it so well at Chuckwalla. Lotus Elise didn't keep up either. Crazy right!
I know it’s late for me seeing this video but even more importantly check all those bolts on that car lift are probably retightened. Had someone close love their life due to failure of inspection. Just stay safe out there.
I had a Yonaka Exhaust System the res broke and rattled bad after a few months. I replaced the res and cat with Vibrant Performance, it's all been on there for about 7 years now. still sounds great daily.
What made u guys decide to not go with a header while the exhaust was already off? They seem to be really effective on making power along with the hr intake. Everyone seems to go with hybrid intake + skunk2 alpha header. I appreciate u guys making this series though, i have an 8th gen that ive had for about 5 months and have done some things to. Apart from the hondata, id say the biggest things to do for me that transform the car is a progress 22mm sway bar and hasport 65/70a motor mounts. Also a good cheap cost effective improvement for me was to upgrade to the hybrid racing shift select/ detent springs, and go with the acuity shifter busings along with the base bushings as well. Super excited to see how this series turns out though!
Favorite channel is back at it
Hell yeah! Honda’s are back, so I’m back to watching!
Is that your integra? Ive been trying to buy one for a while now
@@headchef5680 of course, I’ve had my Integra GSR for six years and loved driving it every time!
Ive seen a few 8th gen civics with fake Mugen wings mounted. At freeway speeds the tail wobbles so bad I'm surprised I haven't seen one crack.
I have a 2010 FA5.. Krown'd annually, as of last year no longer winter driven, but was until then. Body looks mint underneath compared to this one.. I love the car and don't plan on letting it go any time soon! Great video thanks!!!
That immaculate paint and body , I'm jelly
$3500 is damn near free lol
These cars are so pure - love my FK8 but totally different experience from an FA5
On the fence with keeping the FA5 after a refresh, so afraid Honda will never offer a high rev screamer again and these classics will just keep climbing in value.
