I was into the scene in 2000 after fast'n'furious. Not anymore, but these are the guys I always hung out with. Normal dudes who just did whatever they could with thier rides with no ego. I like this guy.
I heard the word “regret” a lot in this video. I don’t like that word. I try not to use it in my own life. I don’t regret learning lessons, the hard way or the easy way. I don’t regret things that I’ve done. Rather, if I regret anything, it’s things that I haven’t done. Good or bad. These mistakes teach you lessons. Don’t regret them. Keep up the good content dude.
Nah... I disagree. People do things they regret all the time. Especially when falling into sin. It's a part of life. Yes learn from your mistakes, but I'd rather not make the mistake and learn from others' mistakes instead.
I have a type r and I cant stand it when other people give others shit cause they mod their car close to theirs unintentional or intentional. Just cause you have a more expensive model does not mean you're special. People like that have some serious self esteem issues.
Okay I agree with this mostly, something like a type r is absolutely a special car and significantly better than the lower end models. But that doesn't mean they are bad at all, and trashing someone because they can't afford the highest end model is dumb.
About the color. This grey is great. I also was searching for a blue Civic, but got a grey one from the nearest dealership instead. I thought about changing it to blue but this dark metallic color really grew on me over time.
You have a very likable personality and come across as so down to earth and respectful of other people. I had to subscribe. And don't ever regret what you have learned from. Some people just don't ever learn. You're for real; keep it that way.
Kudos to you for putting your mistakes out there for all to see. That's rare. And thanks for the lesson in what TO do and NOT to do. Happy, safe and healthy new year to you.
Love the honesty man been here since day one and you havent changed! good stuff bruh! now get that bigger turbo and a clutch get to boosting! btw the bloopers are awsome!
This is why I like your content. You keep it 100% real. I appreciate that. Though you did give the color a hard time (I have the same color and I love it), I can let that one slide. lol. Keep up the great work!
These clutches are just enough. Honda knows how much power these engines can produce. They are wise and smart. Know where your at if you want to turn these up.
Ive had mine for 4 years and although I havent really done performance mods aside from exhaust my cars been amazing. Super comfy and a great everyday driver and is also a stunner with some low and wheels.
Hey this was 3 years ago but can you tell me how it's going with the car do you love it? I'm looking to get a civic and don't know what to get and want to get one that looks good
Great stuff to hear. I made the intercooler mistake myself and I still haven't gotten one. I'm such a dope! Also I'm so happy to hear positive opinions about the reliability of these cars. The problem is the percentage of people posting about problems/ disasters is waaaaaay higher than the percentage of people posting about how happy they are. When people money shift and blow an engine they want to feel like it's not their fault I guess 🤷
I definitely agree with waiting to get the "right" one. I bought my 2020 back in August. The only Si the dealers in my city had were a white coupe and black sedan, but I had my heart set on a Aegean Blue Coupe. I eventually found one for a good price and it seriously looks awesome in person and the colour gets a lot of compliments!
I got mine on aegan blue but definitely still have want it on black. I may wrap it in the future once i fully own it. Aegan blue is nice but my go to car is to be murdered out.
Good looking out for all of us 10th gen owners. You always give an honest to goodness feedback and information. Keep on doing what you do! We truly learn a lot!
I’ve also heard about the oil dilution before buying and it scared me a bit. But to avoid it, I always change my oil around 50% to 30% oil life rather than 0%. I believe that as long as you do proper maintenance, the L15B7 is a very good engine
Yeah when I got mine I heard about that problem, also heard it was fixed for the 2020 which is the one I got but it was only from the Honda forums. But I also change my oil around 40%, and when I go to the store around the corner from my house, I usually take the long way to make sure the engine gets to running temp 👍
Agreed. My local Honda dealership offers free oil changes for life of vehicle if bought through them. Yet, they won't do it unless it is at 20% I didn't buy it through them though so I take it in around 40-50%
Its a good engine but dont expect to make much power on it reliably.. Its a very small motor.. Its pretty much a boosted version of the Honda fit motor with slightly stronger internals. I mean 250whp is terrible for a boosted car these days.. I almost make that on an NA K24 with bolt ons..
I bought a 10th gen and drove to another state for it. I absolutely love it. 18 sport manual black. I don't usually comment but this video is amazing. Not alot of people can be honest and this video is exactly that. Thank you for that.
I'm in the market to buy a 10th gen civic after a year of problems with my 11 GTI and this video was very informative to me. Also, this is the first video I've seen from you and the content is great, you kept the video interesting and to the point. Keep it up man
I got a 10th gen 2.0L CVT August 30. I been noticing the heating problem after some pulls. Now I know it's not just mine. Keep up the videos there mad helpful!
Hi Cameron - Absolutely a great vid!!! I own a 2018 Civic Hatchback LX 6spd 1.5T and bought it new three years ago - been very cautious about moding it so this vid really, really helps me!!!!! Thanks for this great info! Best of Luck
Love your channel bro. I've owned DC2s, RSX Type S, 9thgen Si and now a 19 blue Si coupe. So I can relate to both the 9th & 10thgen videos. Thanks for always sharing entertaining and enjoyable content!
Great channel bro , iv found myself watching all ur videos on the 10 gen.. i got a 2019 si myself for about a yr now, ktun 23map, fpdp 3 in , prl race map intake and so far it runs great and its suprised me against alot of cars in miami fl... i just subscribed💯
I love this because I’ve been there! I have a focus ST and have spent countless hours and dollars doing a number of things to it which I ended up undoing a month later! For me it was a giant Ford performance wind shield banner. $100 for the banner. I spent at least 8 hours doing it because it never looked right. I finally brought it to a pro and spent another $100 to have them install it. It still looked off and ended up taking it off all together! Addition by subtraction as it looks better without it even if it was done correctly. Your car looks better like this though. It just took a grand and a long work week to realize it!
I've done a lot of reading on are 10th gens and the ones that had issues were all ext models made in Mexico or an Si someone was seeing how far they could take it before it blew up. One guy was 2 stepping a cold engine. Haven't had a single problem with my 2019 with everything I've done to it shes still as reliable as ever. Thanks for the video Cam
I got my 2020 Blue Civic Si 6 months ago, it was my first manual car that i learned in. I have a done a few modifications here and there. Personally I love the Borla exhaust on my car a lot more. This car is absolutely amazing and I will always be a Honda fan girl.
This is is a huge video... appreciate you for this... We learn from mistakes thanks for sharing yours . I almost did what you already did... now I will get my intercooler before anything..
Modify it to use ethenol if you want cheap power increase. I run e85 50/50. Straight E85 gives me less MPG and harder starts. Biggest bang for your buck for increased power.
Do it bro you’ll love it. Grab an intercooler first tho like he mentioned. I have an ‘18 sedan si with a GREDDY intercooler, PRL stage 1 intake, and ktuner and its phenomenal. I waited because the warranty but wish I hadn’t
Nice,I think when we all get a new car we want too dive in and jazz it up,I would love too not have rev hang....but the only motor mod I’ve done is K& N filter..that’s it I’m good.Thanks Cam
It takes a good person to admit your mistakes- I’m just very impressed to see this in a young person. I’ve been in the car business 40+ years - I drive a 17 si- and am still nervous to modify it, but it was great to hear your positive feedback- I &would be interested to hear how many miles you put on it. Great video, thanks
Thanks! I ended up selling it with 21,000 miles I believe. I did a lot of spirited driving on the stage 1 tune with zero issues. I wouldn't be afraid to modify yours.
Thanks bro for the videos i have had my 2020 si coupe for a year havent done anything to it ... i give you props with all you did with yours just expiramentation good shit bro
I watched alot of your 10 gen videos before I bought mine. This video is great and I’m glad you put this out here. Just subscribed and I’m excited for your future content.
I feel your pain, I drove 1 1/2 to get my white si, the dealers around me only had red, black and gray. It took me a week to track down the white one but it’s worth the wait to get the color that you want. Blue black gray or white.
I like your videos. Has tempted me to tune my Si. But I don't make videos, and prob won't race anyone, so I'll just live vicariously through your content 😎
This is very true, if you are going to drop a large chunk of change on a car then at least get the color you want look at everyday. I wanted one in red and I jumped for the keys when I saw it still on the delivery truck (this sealed the deal).
Thanks for being so honest about your experiences with the 10th Gen SI. I have been very concerned in buying a 1.5T engine and love the 2.4 so much was thinking of getting the Acura ILX (since that is the only new car that I know that has that engine.) Thanks for easing my concerns about the reliability of the 1.5T
What you guys feel about the 10th Gen CVT 1.5 turbo 4 door hatch? I zip car rented it and omfg that car is insanely fast and responsive for its drive train and size...maybe it was me driving a 1996 Camry for 12 years that made that car seem like a rocket but I absolutely had a blast in that car.
sounds like it was because of your car, also modern induction noises and turbo lag give the impression that you're going faster then you are. Coming from an old econobox a stock brz feels fast. I think the benefit these cars have is the low inertia turbo and cvt which makes accelerating at low speeds super smooth and torquey. Also the lightweight chassis is something that isn't common anymore in modern vehicles, so seeing as how the sedans/hatches are 3000+ and the coupes are 2800+, the power is a lot more useable.
@@100geese My GF has an ex-L coupe which weighed in a little over 2900lbs with a mostly full tank so most likely a bit above 2800 dry weight. I'm talking about actual weight versus dry weight. I've seen multiple 4dr civics come into the same shop with over 3klb weights but yeah trim and transmission do play a factor. But the heaviest coupe still weighs 50-80lbs less then the sedan. I would assume a sport sedan MT and civic coupe that's not a touring trim would weigh pretty similar amounts. Also take into account that the coupes ride on stiffer springs then the sedan/hatch for the FC gen. SO that coupled with the fact the heaviest coupe is under 2900lbs makes the ride a lot more sporty.
You gotta make mistakes to learn man. You did it all yourself for the most part so don’t be too down. Still enjoy the content regardless. Curious to see where else you take this
Thank you for this video my man this really helps. Just ordered the prl cobra intake for my car yesterday and it's gonna be my first mod so hearing you say that you did the same thing is pretty reassuring lol and I was gonna order the ktuner as well but I wanted to upgrade the intercooler and clutch before I do it
You'll be fine, I've been running PRL intake (Race MAF), and a prl downpipe and TSP STAGE 2 for almost 40K miles (bought new with 11 miles, and currently have 54K miles on it), stock clutch and exhaust, no issues. I Do a lot of racing and heavy driving. The issue with reliability comes with people not taking care of their cars, as with ANY CAR, If you dont take proper precautions and keep up with maintenance, and especially dont drive your car correctly. It will fail. Turbo motors need more maintenance then N/A motors, especially when tuned. What you're going to need is a catch can after an intake, tune, and E85. Really just in general. t'll fix all the issues with blow by and stuff people complain about that's common on boosted applications, and all cars with a turbo motor needs one. Do oil changes every 5K miles or 3 months, whichever comes first. Check spark plugs for normal wear every other oil change. (Do NOT REPLACE SPARK PLUGS WITH ANYTHING ELSE, except HONDA OEM as they use a NGK plug currently sold only at the dealer) these motors are built to last and handle power, the only reason they dont is because of neglect, I have a buddy who's running FBO and 27Won turbo, running E30 and hes been going fine for 20K miles, stage 2 clutch.
Hey man, I'm relatively new to your channel (about a week or so). I was in a wreck about a month back (not my fault, car was totaled) and I've been trying to decide on what car to get next. After watching a few of your videos, I decided to go with a new 2020 10th gen Civic Si. I just bought the car last night and I'm so excited to make this car my own! I think your videos will be a good guide to get me in the right direction. Thanks for unknowingly helping convince me to get this car!
Hey! Thats awesome that you bought a 10th Gen and Im sorry to hear about your accident. I have tons of videos with lots of helpful info dating all the way back to last November. Go on a watching spree and then DM on instagram if you have any questions after that!
I don't know if I totally agree. The Tune is the most fun per dollar. Intercooler or not. If you are not racing in some way. It's about the fun. None of the Honda colors a very good. I have the same color as you and have learned to like it but would prefer black other than the constant cleaning involved to keep it looking better. I just started using the Phearable 2.5 tune, thanks to you. It's really quite good. Thanks.
Hey i like the video man! Definitely will be subscribing, i bought a 2020 civic si in the traditional red sedan last year. Haven't regretted nothing. Will be modding it!!
Hey brother, I recently purchased that exact SI, same color but the 2019 model. I was also hesitant on its reliability but I’ve always been a Honda guy, a good friend of mine sent me a link to the vehicle 3 days before I purchased it. I felt robbed as in I could’ve got a better price lower than 30k for it but all in all, you reassured my decision and I actually feel proud of buying it. THANK you so much for the info and honesty. I was thinking of wrapping my car this weekend but I’d rather use that money for an inter cooler instead
I have the same color MSM & it's the exact color I wanted in a 2020 Civic Si Coup & that's what I have! Very happy with it. I did Clay Bar it last summer & what a difference! Ceramic coating will be this summer.
You make great videos. I watch your videos without even without having a 10th gen... hoping your next car Is a car I’m considering getting, next gen GTi or WRX
Thanks for giving me motivation to keep building my x Gen, same boat.. coming from 8th Gen and hearing L15 is junk but I do believe it more reliable than people expect , keep modding man!
I was into the scene in 2000 after fast'n'furious. Not anymore, but these are the guys I always hung out with. Normal dudes who just did whatever they could with thier rides with no ego. I like this guy.

"wait for the one, dont settle" Learned that the hard way in 2020. Bought not 1 but 2 cars I dont even want lmao
I definitely agree with waiting to get the "right" one. I bought my 2020 back in August. The only Si the dealers in my city had were a white coupe and black sedan, but I had my heart set on a Aegean Blue Coupe. I eventually found one for a good price and it seriously looks awesome in person and the colour gets a lot of compliments!
I got mine on aegan blue but definitely still have want it on black. I may wrap it in the future once i fully own it. Aegan blue is nice but my go to car is to be murdered out.
Good looking out for all of us 10th gen owners. You always give an honest to goodness feedback and information. Keep on doing what you do! We truly learn a lot!

Not only maintenance, but to actually let the car warm up, cool down and avoid short trip without a proper cool down.
Agreed. My local Honda dealership offers free oil changes for life of vehicle if bought through them. Yet, they won't do it unless it is at 20% I didn't buy it through them though so I take it in around 40-50%
That's only a thing in colder conditions. If you're in California then you have nothing to worry about.
Its a good engine but dont expect to make much power on it reliably.. Its a very small motor.. Its pretty much a boosted version of the Honda fit motor with slightly stronger internals. I mean 250whp is terrible for a boosted car these days.. I almost make that on an NA K24 with bolt ons..

Yes white is the best in my opinion 2020 coupe
I’m buiyinf a 17 si coupe !!! I’m excited!
I like your videos. Has tempted me to tune my Si. But I don't make videos, and prob won't race anyone, so I'll just live vicariously through your content 😎
I hear yah about "not settling " took me 2 years to find a black '20 sedan stock with
This is very true, if you are going to drop a large chunk of change on a car then at least get the color you want look at everyday. I wanted one in red and I jumped for the keys when I saw it still on the delivery truck (this sealed the deal).
Yesss
I like your honest approach! Learned a lot. Thanks.
Thanks for being so honest about your experiences with the 10th Gen SI. I have been very concerned in buying a 1.5T engine and love the 2.4 so much was thinking of getting the Acura ILX (since that is the only new car that I know that has that engine.) Thanks for easing my concerns about the reliability of the 1.5T
What you guys feel about the 10th Gen CVT 1.5 turbo 4 door hatch? I zip car rented it and omfg that car is insanely fast and responsive for its drive train and size...maybe it was me driving a 1996 Camry for 12 years that made that car seem like a rocket but I absolutely had a blast in that car.
sounds like it was because of your car, also modern induction noises and turbo lag give the impression that you're going faster then you are. Coming from an old econobox a stock brz feels fast. I think the benefit these cars have is the low inertia turbo and cvt which makes accelerating at low speeds super smooth and torquey. Also the lightweight chassis is something that isn't common anymore in modern vehicles, so seeing as how the sedans/hatches are 3000+ and the coupes are 2800+, the power is a lot more useable.
@@Toymonkeyjr The sedans and hatches are mostly sub 3000 weight save for the Type R.
@@100geese depends on the trim. The base trims are just under 3000. But not by much.
@@Toymonkeyjr My Sport 6MT is 2871, I think everything under the touring is under 3000
@@100geese My GF has an ex-L coupe which weighed in a little over 2900lbs with a mostly full tank so most likely a bit above 2800 dry weight. I'm talking about actual weight versus dry weight. I've seen multiple 4dr civics come into the same shop with over 3klb weights but yeah trim and transmission do play a factor. But the heaviest coupe still weighs 50-80lbs less then the sedan. I would assume a sport sedan MT and civic coupe that's not a touring trim would weigh pretty similar amounts.
Also take into account that the coupes ride on stiffer springs then the sedan/hatch for the FC gen. SO that coupled with the fact the heaviest coupe is under 2900lbs makes the ride a lot more sporty.
Don't blame u on mistakes. I should've got SI but got a coupe lx 08. But instead I turn it into DD project car.
I got the same Si but in white, i like all the features. I like your color also so dont feel bad. Ive learn a lot from ur mistake. Thx for the video!
Same 2020 si coupe in white best looking color...
Dude I love the videos on your car in, Puerto Rico there is a couple of them with plus 400 HP and they are killing every thing it's pretty dope.
Thanks for making the car sacrifices for the channel & us man. Hope you enjoy yourself to the fullest
I have a 2020 black civic Si sedan. I haven’t made any mods to it but I love it.
You gotta make mistakes to learn man. You did it all yourself for the most part so don’t be too down. Still enjoy the content regardless. Curious to see where else you take this
What up bro, I got a 2018 Honda Civic Hatch Sport and Ill be modding it soon, and keep up the vids🔥
Thanks for being honest, just recently picked up a 17 fk7 6mt, and love the quality and new technology, will be doing bolt on's very soon💯
OEM color looks great. Big mistake was wrapping it. Agreed.
Thank you for this video my man this really helps. Just ordered the prl cobra intake for my car yesterday and it's gonna be my first mod so hearing you say that you did the same thing is pretty reassuring lol and I was gonna order the ktuner as well but I wanted to upgrade the intercooler and clutch before I do it
You'll be fine, I've been running PRL intake (Race MAF), and a prl downpipe and TSP STAGE 2 for almost 40K miles (bought new with 11 miles, and currently have 54K miles on it), stock clutch and exhaust, no issues. I Do a lot of racing and heavy driving. The issue with reliability comes with people not taking care of their cars, as with ANY CAR, If you dont take proper precautions and keep up with maintenance, and especially dont drive your car correctly. It will fail. Turbo motors need more maintenance then N/A motors, especially when tuned. What you're going to need is a catch can after an intake, tune, and E85. Really just in general. t'll fix all the issues with blow by and stuff people complain about that's common on boosted applications, and all cars with a turbo motor needs one. Do oil changes every 5K miles or 3 months, whichever comes first. Check spark plugs for normal wear every other oil change. (Do NOT REPLACE SPARK PLUGS WITH ANYTHING ELSE, except HONDA OEM as they use a NGK plug currently sold only at the dealer) these motors are built to last and handle power, the only reason they dont is because of neglect, I have a buddy who's running FBO and 27Won turbo, running E30 and hes been going fine for 20K miles, stage 2 clutch.
Hey man, I'm relatively new to your channel (about a week or so). I was in a wreck about a month back (not my fault, car was totaled) and I've been trying to decide on what car to get next. After watching a few of your videos, I decided to go with a new 2020 10th gen Civic Si. I just bought the car last night and I'm so excited to make this car my own! I think your videos will be a good guide to get me in the right direction. Thanks for unknowingly helping convince me to get this car!
Hey! Thats awesome that you bought a 10th Gen and Im sorry to hear about your accident. I have tons of videos with lots of helpful info dating all the way back to last November. Go on a watching spree and then DM on instagram if you have any questions after that!
@@Camhill182 Thankfully I'm okay, just minor injuries.
Will do! Excited to get started
I don't know if I totally agree. The Tune is the most fun per dollar. Intercooler or not. If you are not racing in some way. It's about the fun.
None of the Honda colors a very good. I have the same color as you and have learned to like it but would prefer black other than the constant cleaning involved to keep it looking better.
I just started using the Phearable 2.5 tune, thanks to you. It's really quite good. Thanks.
Hey i like the video man! Definitely will be subscribing, i bought a 2020 civic si in the traditional red sedan last year. Haven't regretted nothing. Will be modding it!!
great video!! very helpful! im def going to save for a intercooler for my first performance mod!
Hey brother, I recently purchased that exact SI, same color but the 2019 model. I was also hesitant on its reliability but I’ve always been a Honda guy, a good friend of mine sent me a link to the vehicle 3 days before I purchased it. I felt robbed as in I could’ve got a better price lower than 30k for it but all in all, you reassured my decision and I actually feel proud of buying it. THANK you so much for the info and honesty. I was thinking of wrapping my car this weekend but I’d rather use that money for an inter cooler instead
I have the same color MSM & it's the exact color I wanted in a 2020 Civic Si Coup & that's what I have! Very happy with it.
I did Clay Bar it last summer & what a difference! Ceramic coating will be this summer.
You helped ease my anxiety of modding this car, and thanks for the intercooler tip.
You make great videos. I watch your videos without even without having a 10th gen... hoping your next car Is a car I’m considering getting, next gen GTi or WRX
I like the red and the color you have. I have a black 9th gen Si and it's a pain to keep it clean even though it looks good when it is clean
Good stuff bro. Lesson learned & lets move on!
Thanks for giving me motivation to keep building my x Gen, same boat.. coming from 8th Gen and hearing L15 is junk but I do believe it more reliable than people expect , keep modding man!
