Informing you all on what the plans are with Midnight and what insurance had to say... Engine blown vid here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nAiCdVekrBI.html #rip #car #engine
Man hate to see midnight go. Thanks again Gerb. I did a full k24 swap on my fa5 on my own because of your vids and I learned alot. Stock k24 fa5 going on 3 years strong now. Wish you the best bud!
Wow it’s just crazy to think that midnight is leaving after all this time… your channel inspired me to buy an 8th gen si.. farewell midnight I’m excited to see what happens from this point onward!!!
Man what a sad news. I was able to change my starter this weekend thanks to you. Did my first oil change thanks to you. I fell you gave us all a lot. You are the man. So thank you very much for your hard work put into all this time.
Goodluck with the part out, hope you can get some nice $. Your videos have provided extremely valuable documentation for us DIY’ers and I still reference them frequently. Thank you Gerb
Watching your prior videos spanning years back, had no idea it was in that bad of shape. That rust though on the lower rear quarter panel. I recently picked up a fully stock 2 owner 2006 FG2 SI with 117k in near mint condition, no rust at all (fully undercoated) and I'm in Ontario Canada (salt). Helps that the car lived majority of it's life in British Columbia (no salt) and brought here in 2021. All the best bro, will miss Midnight 😢
dude this car inspired me to build my FA5, you and midnight introduced me to the 8th gen platform and taught me so many things. my FA5 is my baby and i hope nothing ever happens to it. thank you man. RIP midnight, you’ll be missed 🖤💔
You and me are pretty much in the same boat, our 8ths have been with us for a while and are showing signs of age. Mine is also rusting to shit too but its part of living in the midwest due to salt etc. Gonna drive mine till it dies then one day buy another one down the road.
Damn man I’m sorry to hear! I remember when you helped me out with fa5 over ft when I was up in FL and one of my old TSX builds was in one of your videos a while ago but wish you the best man! Hope you get back into it!
Take the performance parts and start fresh! You inspired me to buy an 8th gen SI and I’m currently FBO, stage 2 clutch, tuned by Javi tuned! RIP midnight!
Farewell midnight! Gerb you inspired me to buy a broken FA5 and fix it myself! Still drive it around and take long road trips! Can’t wait to see how your other Si turns out! Best of luck!
A bitter-sweet type of situation. You get to move on from midnight, and you get to wrench on it, to get back what she gave you. It's a proper farewell my friend. We'll all be here when you get back.
Good bye midnight. I got my car around the same time as midnight. This car also affected me. I’m also now k24 swap on my 8th gen. All good thing must come to an end. But hopefully we get to see the other 8th gen on this channel. Thanks gerb!
Dam brother just seen this the last video and this video... I'm sorry this happened but you will find something else. I went to all your videos on how to replace parts on my fa5 civic si good stuff still will follow you brother keep your head up and keep us updated til than keep your head up buddy
Unfortunate for that to happen. I actually started watching your videos back in 2016-2017, because I had an FG2 back at that time. In 2018 I gave it to my brother and bought my a 370z, then in 2020 I traded that in for an evo x. I still have the evo now of course. Through out the entire 8 years even after I gave my Si away, I was still watching your videos lol Best of luck and I’ll continue to watch your future videos when you get a new ride, Honda or not.
If you know someone you can get an enhanced vehicle inspection done easy. Oh shit I didn’t see that rust tho but I did this with my ek when someone crashed into, got 2150 for it.
I have a 2007 honda civic si fa5 sedan silver i put 2500 down and a loan for 8,900I 8 yrs later still looks the same paided alot for it it now has high mileage but the care of it maintenance i dont beat on it i once wanted to give it up to the junkyard and they said they give me 400 i was like the bugging Ii mite as well keep my car i say put an other k24 if head good put another block keep wrench ✌️✌️😎😎
im actually sad about it man i cant lie... my 8th gen is looking just as rough after 9 years of ownership :( the rust is unreal. I wish I wanted to fix it rather than just let her be. If anything, a clean 8th gen from down south some where will definitely be my next buy. I absolutely love my 8th gen it just looks terrible.
Gerb, I’m located in CT. If you have parts you wanna sell I’m looking to buy some small things. Also, take the tranny out if it’s still good. That’s with a few hundred alone
The car was tired. Especially with the rust. The Rust is literally the only reason that makes that car shitty. But your approach to this whole situation is so lame. It’s actually quite ridiculous.
Everyone has an opinion. Insurance marked it salvage title, meaning it would’ve took a lot for it to pass inspection. Besides, I have another fg2. Wasn’t a total loss in my eyes
