Quick & Easy Honda Civic Si Build - Part 1 

These are my favorite series. Cheap/attainable daily drivers with simple mods

You guys are like the Canadian equivalent of mighty car mods, its great i wanna see a collab

One of the best sounding civics, doesn’t sound like a fart can

Seeing the way cars look everywhere else makes me super happy to live in Arizona

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.

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.

the 8th gen civic has got to be one of the best looking hondas ever made, period.

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

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've thought about selling my 8th gen for 2 years now to get something different, but everyday I end up loving it again.

nice touches guys, always admire ur taste.

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

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 :)

i own a 8th gen! glad to see another 8th gen getting some love. They are amazing cars.

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.

These make me want a lift for my garage. Then I remember I am a crappy mechanic. Love these short builds.

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

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

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

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 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, 👍

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!

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

Turbo 8th gen checking in here.. Amazing car been boosted for 3+ years as my daily driver 😁😁

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

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.

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

Hearing the way you guys talk about the 8th Gen Si really makes me so happy

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.

8th gen si😍definitely one of the best si ever Made

Wow I was not expecting that exhaust to sound so good. Really really nice.

Dang thats a clean orange civic 🥵

2:25 amazing what you can find in an engine bay of a Honda

The exact car I’m looking for in that exact spec 😭 neeeeed one

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

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.

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!

HOLY CRAP WHY AND HOW? HOW DOES THAT SOUND SO GOOD. Im in love with the sound that exhaust produced!

Love the mugen gen 8s ^^ And they come factory k20 :D

Favorite generation Civic Si. Naturally Aspirated, K20, LSD, Manual, and a useable 4-Door. Awesome!

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.

Just got an 8th gen si and have been trying to decide what to do with it, finally some inspiration!

Price of the 8th gen just went up ⬆️

Nice work guys! Those 8th gens are really great cars!

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 !

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

Looking good so far and now onto part 2. I am excited to see what you all come up with. (:

Excited for this series!!

Redline orange has always been my favorite. Rare color though

its nice to wake up after a long week of work, and find this type of awesome content! love ur vids!

Love this. From Cape Town South Africa. Honda has a cult following over here.

I love your welding skirt!!

I love these quick budget builds

Might just be nostalgia talking but the 99-00 Si was my fave ❤️ love this series. Thx eBay motors.

I have the coupe version of this car. I have progress coilovers, progress rear sway bar, ktuned rear camber arms, Js racing roll center adjusting ball joints for the front, hard race bumpsteer adjusting tie rods, blox spherical bushings for the lca, balance shaft oil pump delete, replaced with the rrc oil pump from the FD2 type R, tractuff timing chain baffle, and rrc oem crank pulley which is smaller from the type r as well. I also had to add s2000 rotors to fit the Js racing roll center adjusters. These rotors are the same as stock, except they sit 7mm further out. The rotors are DBA with stop tech street pads; the red box forgot the name. Also had to make custom spacers for the calipers and I run them with 12.9 strength bolts for added strength. Tires are Firestone Indy 500. Thanks for doing this build. I’m definitely gonna add the yonoka exhaust. Don’t know about the intake since cops harass the hell out of us Cali enthusiasts. I’ve already been asked to pop my hood despite being completely stock motor wise.

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

Best episodes to see in your channel pimp my Ride

Installing CSX trunk would have been better than plugging those oem Si holes 😂

Favorite channel is back at it

Best generation si

I had this exact color in my 09 FA5

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.

Always wanted an 8th gen SI sedan! Love it

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.

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.

Great job guys looking forward to the wheels!

You guys deserve more subs this channel is 🔥 I am biased being living in Ottawa though lol

So simple yet so smooth very satisfying 🔥💯🙌🏽

Yes . Just yes!! This is what i want to see!!! 8th gen love!!!!!

When Pete says our Sawzall is MIA, what he really means is I took it home to work on my backyard deck rebuild and forgot to bring it back to the shop #sorrynotsorry

Thanks so much guys! Can’t wait to see how it turns out 😎.

Your channel is so great guys I hope it picks up way more traction. I don't know what I can do to help

That exhaust sounds nice its also just what I need, it looks great also.....great job 👍 😎

So true on the 8th gen SI. One of the best looking for sure

Yessss a realistic build for most of us!

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.

That exhaust really sound nice 😍😍😍

Love this series!

Sweet Christmas... That's definitely a Canadian car.. or upstate NY car, with all the rust!

That exhaust sounds nice

Love this series! And Love the vids guys keep it up! ❤️

this is my favorite series.

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.

Dude i have the 09 si and it is also this color! Can’t wait to see more.

I love this series

Dave with the shutter shades and rubber ducky really got me

U guys have a dream job making cars cool

Love using the Fire Wrench! always works

Perfect video guys i like to see a lot of those transformation videos. Greetings from Greece

YESSS!!! I AM VERY HAPPY NOW I LOVE SI CIVICS

Just love these quick builds. Nice change of pace. Great job guys keep up the great work. Thx

I really love these videos! also good job on the editing and music!!!

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.

Yo that exhaust sounds hella nice!

I have learned so much from you guys. You guys are awesome ❤

Great choice to show a build

Love those orange hfp sedan Si, best color for the Si in my opinion.

Now this video is out my car is gonna be worth another 2k thank you speed academy

1:36 if it were that easy... im sold.

Love to see 8th gen content. Nobody seems to really do it
