I bought the lowest mile, wrecked auction Civic Si in the country

- I did say the parts car was going to fix the exact opposite car. I think a low mileage, manual, rust-free, clear title sport model is as opposite as you can get from an automatic transmission, rusty, 400k, salvage title commuter car.
I need a winter daily, so I found a fun one. Hopefully I can at least keep it through the winter. If not, I don't know how to price the lowest mile 2007 Civic Si in the country (by over 40k miles). It is also the lowest mile one in any salvage auction by around 100k. I may not even have to update that; I have been watching these for a while 100K is about the lowest I have seen and that was gone a long time ago.
It is an easy fix but a similar job to the Lexus IS250 we just did. This may give you some insight into how manufactures build their vehicles to accomplish the same thing but with different methods.

Scott, You make it look easy. I never grow tired of your builds or your dry sense of humor. Haters gonna hate LOL
Watching Scott work has almost caused me to have delusions of adequacy, but for now I'm sticking with mechanical fixes. I can't afford to drive $350 trucks if I don't do the work myself. Pine Hollow Diagnostics has helped me with electrical issues that I would have shied away from in the past.
Why does he say ruff instead of roof
@@gorrowler He's a wannabe Wisonsinite! lol
@@gorrowler dogs go wuff wuff
Yeah you're right. It's still a civic.
the fa5 comes with a k20z3 engine, a little bit different than the k20a. oil pump, camshafts intake manifold etc. NICE pick up tho
As someone who cuts lawns, i believe all honda's should have a pull cord start.
You can push start this one! 😂
@@vehcor Awsome, looks like the last owner pushed a little too hard 😁
Lol
You know why I love this channel, you rebuild stuff we all can afford, not some 5000k super car junker..Id rather watch this ALL day long, I thank you!
I agree. His videos are more realistic versus the other RUclips stars milking the ads
5000k super cars WHERE? ITS MORE like $100k+ cars
I have looked all over the internet for Scott's GM truck emporium. Couldn't find it. Now I here that there is a Honda emporium.
Grand Am, Lexus, Camaro, Enclave, Escape and a few other various emporiums as well.
@@vehcor man is a walking parts catalog. Prophetic on the upcoming wreck repairs and buys the parts cars beforehand
Hello Scott my favorite channel again . That's gonna be a good build . Too good to be totaled .
I hate to be that guy but I would've made it cosmetically decent and used it as my daily with that kind of mileage. I love these affordable car rebuilds. Sure it's cool to see someone fix a wrecked Ferrari but these everyday attainable cars seem more satisfying since most people can afford them.
I am really enjoying the rebuilds of these smaller cars. Keep them coming Scott! Cheers from Australia.
Another great video from Vehcor Thanks Scott for all the great content keep it coming
I think it's the calm, I win approach that I love so much.
Oh, I wasn’t always that calm. 😂
And Scott's Honda Civic Emporium just happens to have the parts... LOL.
But the owner is a sarcastic jerk. lol
@@vehcor we still like him though.
That’s what makes him so successful.
Please stay that way 😉
Dude
love your channel
always impressed by your skill and commitment to craftsmanship.
Thanks!
Thank you for calling the bumper reinforcement by the correct name and not calling it “bumper rebar” like the other channels
Happy Friday, Scott!🍻
Same to you.
My 08 SI coupe has been my reliable daily driver since 2009. Just hit 100k miles. Best car I've ever owned.
So many people would have chained that to a light pole and yanked that out as much as 10 mins would get them then run down Lowes and get 'em some drywall mud and caked it all in there. I'm sure I speak for a lot of folks who don't chime in when I say how much we appreciate your work ethic and your workmanship. That colorful narration is pretty cool too! THANKS! keep em coming.
It's sad to see how many insurance companies will write off an older vehicle like this simply because in their eyes the payoff isn't worth the money input. We ran into it years ago with my parents really sweet 72 D100 that someone stopped in front of - all it needed was the radiator and support, but because it was over 10 years old at the time, they totaled it instead of having the front end pieces (that were plentiful in our area) replaced. I'm glad to see people like Scott take the time to restore these vehicles and get them back out on the road! If we had someone like Scott in our area, chances are the truck would still be on the road today since it had been babied all of its life.
That Honda is hammered. A very expensive repair bill at a body shop. Scott has the edge of his labor and his ability to source parts off parts cars for little $.
I saw this one coming... Best of luck on the rebuild.
You must have watched the ENTIRE parts car video. 😂
@@vehcor it's a good test to see how many viewers are paying attention 🤷♂️
There were a few easter eggs in the Lexus parts car video earlier this week!
Outstanding rebuild Scott! I bought the 2002 version of this car brand new. I drove it to work every day for ten years! Then even though I had bought a brand new Accord I still kept it for another five years! Still running great at the time but since I was insuring 3 cars and could only drive one at a time I regretfully sold it! It was a great car! I am looking forward to seeing you finish up this Civic and give it a new lease on life!
I like watching the Honda rebuilds. I've been a customer of theirs since 1981 (Civic 1500GL), and although I have a fleet of cars these days, two of them are Hondas, and those are the ones that get driven most often.
You got mine beat. I have 2007 civic Si sedan too. Bought it used in 2010 with 35998 miles on it sitting in a Honda dealer showroom. Today as if this comment, I still have it. Modified and been supercharged since 2017. Car only has 74XXX miles. Car is was a daily for the first few years of ownership. Then show car. And finally track only as of 2018. She’s going turbo in 2023.

Love your videos and your humor. Merry Christmas!!!
Love rerun Friday !
Scott, you are such a talent. Thank the Pizza Girl for keeping you in line!
Gotta love when people drill a hole through the fender to zip tie up a bumper they could have fixed for less than $30 with the right parts.
Honda is the best!! Great choice. Love your videos and your humor. Merry Christmas!!!
Rock on with the low mile no rust.
Ya make it look easy
(8:13) "There's really not a lot of support up here."... that's so sad...I support you Scott!
You're half way to an AMC Gremlin ! Love your vids
Had a jam packed day. Heaters, boilers and cold oh my. All hell broke loose on a Friday. So I am getting my dosage of thee best channel to watch. Scott thank you so very much for the small glimpse of a day in life of yours. Stay safe and be well.
If the tool does the job, it is not the wrong tool in my books.
The commentary alone is worth the watch. You do great body work. I've never done body or frame work. I don't have the patience.
Gotta love the 8th generation Civic or any Civic generation for that matter. So very easy to work on, to a certain extent.
Hello from the Netherlands .
thanks for the video Scott .
Sincerely, Hollandduck
Long time subscriber here...I never get tired of this channel. great content, always interesting. I've picked up so many good repair tips from Scott that help me with the projects I do. Keep it up!
i got just got my hands on a 67k original engine/ clean title 2003 honda accord v6. i wouldn't mind doing a walkaround video of it for you man. this SI is a beauty
Love the very tasteful jokes here and there. Great video!
I look forward to every Friday, thanks again!
You don’t miss a week at all! 😂 I’m releasing a video today as well. I did the sound system in the Fleetwood.
I try not to. I have plenty of videos, it’s getting them edited and out that is the hard part. I’ve been doing a couple a week for this month so I might need a break after New Years. 😂 Good luck with your video. I’ll watch it when I get a chance! 👍🏻
Merry Christmas Scott and Family,🇨🇦🇺🇸
only people like u have the skill and heart to fix these.
I always know your rebuilds are going to be as good as new (or better). Very therapeutic to watch it all come together. Who ever buys them is getting a well sorted car.
I can only imagine that cars life. Purchased new by an older lady who loved it and sparingly drove it to the grocery store. Wanted a 5 speed to relive her glory days. The only one available in the 5 speed was the SI. Gave it to her 16 year old nephew and he destroyed it in a matter of 6 weeks.
sad because i’ve seen that happen
Just another great beginning of a bill. Can’t tell you how much I enjoy your channel. By the looks of it most of the comments everybody else is saying. I guess that’s what you get when you do the best work. See you in the next installment.
I’m excited for this build ,
Hi Scott. I love watching all your builds every Friday. I hope you and the pizza girl have a Merry Christmas!!
It’s always great watching your rebuilds, the local salvage company out of Quincy needs to watch your videos to learn how to do shit right!!!
That is a clean looking Honda,for being a Honda.good video as always.keep doing your thing.😎😎😎👍👍👍
GMT800s and 8th Gen Si’s, you work on all my favorites
Great video, Scott!
Amazing work Scott! Thanks for bringing Smiley back as I'm a huge Fan!!!
Scott, a great find, I like big Bertha, thank u
This will be a guiding lesson for me as I would like to fix a CRV with rear-end damage so thank you Scott
Merry Christmas! Thanks for the vid!
Mr. Spotty doesn't help out much but he never loses focus😉
Even in the UK Hondas Red and Black paint goes bad in the sun, and we sure as hell done get much sun.
Love watching the tear down,even though I am not an expert.thanks John from Arizona
Gonna be an epic build
I hope it will be easy. 😂
Your work is better than new. Merry Christmas.
Scott’s Honda Emporium is a subsidiary of Scott’s GM Emporium. He must be rich. 😂
Everything done methodically and thoroughly just as Honda intended 😅👍🏻🏴
That was super entertaining!👍🏾
Love that you've become a Honda channel, hope you get an Odyssey next!
Love the videos Scott, look forward to them each week....keep 'em coming....
When I saw the parts car video, I had a feeling you were fixing a Si!
Nice video, sorta relaxing, simple and informative. I like your humor at times too
Innovative use of the 5 in 1 painting tool. Kudos to you, sir.
My old one that I broke the handle on is my favorite spot weld breaker. 😂
I guess it's actually a six in one now huh😁
@@vehcor, invention is the mother of necessity, or vice versa. Either way, it’s a dullard who must use a tool for only its intended use.
Love the way you jab the haters
Nice work Scott 👏
Have a great weekend!
Never owned one but I enjoy seeing this gen civic sedan on the road. Gotta be SI too lol
Scott two wrongs make a right but two wrights make an airplane!
Glad to see you are doing it all right, by the book and safety conscious. Next installment will be fun, I've heard that that Scotts Honda emporium guy can be a bit of a hard ball on prices for Honda's as they are all a funny size bolts and flimsy rusty panels.
Interesting, you do good work and have the correct equipment. I would not hesitate to buy one of your cars..
Damn that's my dream yard machine 🤣 mower jokes aside I lost my 8th gen sedan to some bad railroad tracks haha they handle really well but are made of the thinnest hopes and dreams with 3m in the seams
Great video Scott! That air chisel - good memories from high-school body shop that was my favorite tool =)
Thanks for the video Scott.
Nice build and Mr spoty showed up to work today lol 😆
Briefly, just trying to get credit for the build I guess. 😂
@@vehcor lol love your videos
@@vehcor us Ms spotty prepping for the holidays
Hello Scott!
👋🏻🥇
Nice Civic. Wish I really could justify another car.
tavarish's formula but no tedious sponsorships or extraneous details, and a considerably cooler car. well done
Merry Christmas, Scott.
Today's security, three pedals not too many can drive it
I owned a silver one as my first car sold it at 191k miles was the most reliable car I owned.
👍👍👍👍👍 Merry Christmas everyone.
Except for a Renault R8 and a Triumph mk1, my cars were all Japanese, my present one being a Kia Cerato. When you were working on the boot lid I remembered an irritating thing about the boot lids of these cars is that the hinges protrude into the load section. When loading the boot, you always have to check that your luggage isn't in the way of the hinges. Other brands, like Volkswagen, have the hinges out of the way.
Anyone else see the mouse at 16:58? Thunder of the air chisel must have seemed like the end of the world to Mickey.

I hate watching him work. Everything seems easy. :)
10:21 every time i have to mule kick or use our "Big Red" hammer on a stubborn wheel at work, I always shout out "I Win!" in your Honor!
thats the way, a BFH!
A 43k mile SI. That's a nice car!
Wow this guy Scott has so many emporiums he must be rich!
nice , now I know what hold my daughter's civic together !! lol?! thx !
A low mileage 4 door 8th gen Si is absolutely worth fixing, they are getting impossible to find. Hell yeah.
Nice to see vin diesel working on Japanese cars.
NICE JOB
Great and informative video as always….How long have you been doing bodywork, you make it simple and easy to understand
He has 1000+ builds under his belly 😅
