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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

[@CsGoUnlimited]

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

[@sebastianblas3109]

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.

[@imranscarvideos]

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

[@qwerty.us412]

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 👍

[@azulafc3205]

Not only maintenance, but to actually let the car warm up, cool down and avoid short trip without a proper cool down.

[@gideonrhodes1789]

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%

[@jovtecxtv1321]

That's only a thing in colder conditions. If you're in California then you have nothing to worry about.

[@JonHop1]

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..

[@freshstartpainting]

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!

[@codybonds6997]

Another great video, also love the hair! I can honestly say that I'm glad I ordered my 2020 and waited 2 months while it was built and delivered to the dealership of my choice with only 2 miles on it. I wanted the Aegean Blue and refused to settle for any other color even though the dealer tried to put me in a white or black Si at a discounted price. That blue was so worth the wait!! To fill in between the lines where I can tell you were editing your thoughts about the "facebook" group, I honestly ask myself why I joined that group. I SERIOUSLY hope people don't go there for any advice other than cool pictures to look at. But as far as your content don't let the haters get you down, everything in life involves trial and error and nobody is perfect. I for one tip my hat to you for not being afraid to show those imperfections on your channel and even laugh about them at times. Keep up the good work, love what you do!

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.

[@RonBurgandy]

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
