Is The 8TH Gen Civic SI Worth Buying In 2024?

[@jjmunz7718]

The 8th generation honda si is one of the best generations of the Hondas si built and is going to be worth a lot of money some day very soon 👍. The 8th generation has a lot of potential with out questions. Buy one while they are still affordable because, the price is going to rise soon. Beautiful car man. 👍

[@ItsJayyB55]

@@jjmunz7718 I agree! Thanks bro 🙏🏾

[@gambit_toys6554]

had 2 8th gen si's. They are 4 door Motocycles. great car, so much to fun to rev. i recommend it as a 2nd car. clutch is fairly firm, fairly small car, small door openings, AC blows ok not the strongest, and firm ride.

these gen are the last ones with the high revving motor with vtec on both intake and exhaust . i came from a 6gen si to the 8gen 2010 white fa5 with hfp lip kits . owned it since 2012 and going to stay with me for a very long time

Thats what's up bro! Id definitley hold on to it, especially the HFP kits.

8th gen civics has tons and tons of mods in the market for many years and it become even more popular than before because it has the last true VTEC engine that many companies still developing aftermarket mods to this day.

Its on base map right now but Soon we will be tuning it and running it on dyno to see what HP it have.

[@mikellewis2346]

@ItsJayyB55 unless your going for max power it's not worth swapping heads as long as u get a k24a2 or jdm k24a with rbb head like I have. I was gonna put my k20z3 head on my k24a and after researching it there's not much gains there for the amount of work needs done. And the k24a rips bone stock in the 8th gen. Just make shore it has the rbb head when u buy the motor.

[@JohnPaulCamposHohnerAnacleto]

With all respect the 6th Gen in 2000 had some of the most mods you could do and parts were easy to find. Now, I would disagree to say that, as I experienced alot of challenges finding OEM factory parts. When I think of an Si, I immediately think about the Coupe and not hatcback or even a 4 door.

[@themoon69420]

I love these Civics and would love to have one, but they are definitely not a large man's car. Ironically, I fit better in my '91 and '00 Si's that I used to own. The 4th gen Civics will always be my favorite. My earliest memories are of my dad's red '89 DX hatchback and my mom's charcoal '91 LX sedan. Those were the only Hondas they ever owned, even though my dad worked for Honda for like 30 years and, even as a retiree, is entitled to significant discounts at Honda dealerships. I recently learned that his family members are entitled to that discount too, and the mf never shared that information with us... 😐
