Update: The Si has been sold and I’ve picked up a 1st gen CR-V. I may do another video on it if there is interest.

Unfortunately the payments were too much, and the engine was toast. I was averaging 22 mpg highway no matter what I did on multiple fuel ups. I’m guessing the rings were shot and compression was bad.

Ive had my 07 si coupe for about 3 weeks now. Bought it from the second owner, relatively stock, and mechanically well maintained. Ive been a b-series guy for 18 years! (Im old) having multiple versions of swapped and factory b-series chassis'. My 8th gen feels like all of those, wrapped into 1, with nice seats and amazing chassis dynamics/handling from the factory, with all the necessities that my 38 yr old ass aparently requires. I am also convinced that this generation of civic is the last of its kind. Your review is spot on. Thank you for it!

I got mine in Dec 2007 new and still have it today! Bone stock and drives like the day I drove it out of the showroom floor. Just passed 150k miles. I’m never getting rid of it.

2007 fg2 bought with 133k for 4.8k, fully built now, blew after 170k, maintain/replace your timing tensioner on time! Pricy but will save your valvetrain in the end, k series are interference engines, if the chain breaks loose the valves with slap pistons, goodluck !

Test drove a bone stock 07 8th gen fiji blue si in the pouring rain yesterday i was blown away how well it handled in the weather i fell in love with it. I test drove one back when they first came out yrs ago but i couldn't afford the 23000 car payment I'm glad that i found one that still has lots of life left in it for a decent price

@Danielshoots
@Danielshoots 6 лет назад
It's right in the sweet spot of depreciation and value. It's also in the sweet spot for Honda's development, chassis rigidity, and safety standards both weight and actual safety considered.

@Speed Also, becoming very very hard to find stock; I had an 8th gen Lx I loved modding and playing with but keeping my new 8th gen Si stock and in perfect working order is a new frontier-like tinkerer to caretaker (only minor enhancements: aluminum cable & shift bushings, braided clutch and brake lines, K&N drop in, Mugen pads and rotors all round).

Just got a 2008 coupe SI and love it! Oh, It was nice to see home in the video - Seahurst Park in the Burien area? Then a ride down Marine View Drive if I'm not mistaken - miss that area. I grew up there, living in New Orleans now.

@vtecbanger3180
@vtecbanger3180 6 лет назад
I have been a Honda enthusiast for over 15 years owning many (even a turbo delsol si.) Nothing like a 2008 mugen si. It is an excellent example of what sport Honda is supposed to feel like. Not to mention when you get older it's still a savage drivers car that is affordable and collectable. I have not seen another stock mugen since 2010. And modified mugen.... why would you? Maybe an intake, header, hondata, clutch. But don't touch the cat back or suspension!!!!!

@asianken9286
@asianken9286 5 лет назад
Billy Stocking not true. I upgraded from 2012 civic si to a 2019 civic si. I’ll tell ya, I love my 2019 civic si more than my 2012. I still own my 2012 and still drive it sometimes. The only thing I miss about the 2012 civic si is the vtec and the more aggressive sound. But overall I think the 2019 si is better in my opinion.
@asianken9286
@asianken9286 4 года назад
Chris J I wouldn’t say waste of money... I’m pushing 300 horsepower right now on my 2019 with just $1,000 into upgrades. Can’t do that with the 2012. Already side by side with new type R. To me it was well worth the money. Glad to be owning two generation Si’s. Maybe in the future I’ll drop in a super charger for my 2012 :).

@Ken Kendo wtf you mean lol a 2019 si has 200hp... my 08 si had 197 at stock now sitting at 350 with just cam and and turbo running 10 pounds of boost... and its faster lighter than that low revving shit you bought
@asianken9286
@asianken9286 4 года назад
CtheDead209 you must be dumb in the head and not read what I just said. $1,000 into upgrades already put me at 300 horses on these new si’s. Can $1,000 into upgrades put your stock 8th gen si at 350? Nope. Read before you say stupid shit 🤷‍♂️. Just saying these new generations cheaper to make power since it already comes stock turbo. Never said the older generations can’t make 300 horsepower dumb ass. One of my friends have a turbo RSX type s pushing 320 to the wheels that costs him well over $3,000; which will only cost me $1,000 to get with my 2019.

The only thing missing is a rear wiper blade on the coupes. For years that denoted a proper Japanese sports car. Not much to distract the driver. Minimal cup holders. No mirror on the driver side sun visor. Years ago I had owned a DC2 integra. It’s taken me awhile to replace that car after it being tboned. Just got an 08 si coupe.

@asianken9286
@asianken9286 5 лет назад
saintballadeer milkovich I own an 9th gen and 10gen civic si. I’ve driven my friends 8th gen and compared all the cars, I’d say if u want more torque and more Instant power I’d go for a 9th gen. If u want a high revving car with stronger top end power and maybe in the future add in some aftermarket parts I’d go for a 8th gen due to the fact that it’ll respond better with aftermarket parts and get more power gains out of it.
