I've done a few minor interior modifications but it's just a phone holder, dash cam, aftermarket touch screen radio with Apple carplay and Android auto and a steering wheel cover. Painted the wheels black, got new red lug nuts, replaced the tail lights for aftermarket tail lights, replaced Chrome Civic badge with a black one. I also changed the bulbs to LEDs in the running lights and the low beams and I've replaced the badged Honda grill with a badgeless mesh grill. It doesn't take a lot to make these cars fun and reliable at the same time and that's what I love about the Honda Civic I just wish mine was an SI.

[@jameshaulenbeek5931]

If you don't swap it, the D17 in the EM2 is prone to head gasket failure, so keep an eye on that. If it starts pushing coolant out of the reservoir, the engine is toast - the blocks tend to warp in the middle, and cylinder 2 or 3 will blow to the water jacket. A swap would be best if you really like the car.

[@FutureDeltaPilot747]

James Haulenbeek Wow, thanks for the headsup! Im not familiar with the D17 so, I will keep an eye on the motor and know a few mechanics who work on Honda's, so i will see what they recommend what to do as of now. I should have something done within a few months since i've had the EM2 for a little under 1 month now.

I was about to destroy you lol

[@thomas0086]

I’ve seen many people crave and crave the more expensive, the higher power and it all comes at a price. Honda checks all the boxes, wrx also. Cost Reliability Cost of maintaining and repair Insurance Gas mileage Tuning potential Tuned reliability Precise and predictable handling in comparison to other cars at its price point and the fact that you can actually drive it without reaching speeds that put you instantly in the felony zone or where one mistake can kill you and others is so overlooked its insane. After you own powerful cars and you realize that driving them everyday for chores getting 10mpg, blowing up tires, having to deal with “race car” characteristics sucks the joy out of it. If you plan to go for a joy ride it’s a blast, but when you have your mind on handling life, getting things done and relative efficiency you immediately see the downsides. What makes it fun in one setting can make it just annoying in another. Unless you are going high end Audi etc. then the costs and unreliability can potentially eat that joy too. Honda was always about fun, enjoyment, engagement it was never about numbers, I took 40 years to get 205hp from the factory 😄 There is something about the Si package that gives an enthusiast so much for so little, after you have moved on and come back, that realization for many hits home. You hit the nail on the head with this one man 👌

Lmfao everybody knows the first mod you always get on a civic si is the red type r badges XD

Me, a 37 year old 2020 owner watching this and cant help feeling this kid wasn't able to drive when my gf at the time taught me manual in her 8th, lol. Very nostalgic. not sure it is a better car than the current though. The new one feels more planted to me coming from a 2006 RSX.

[@donovanolguin977]

2:06 PREACH ALEX!!! Literally all i want from a car...

[@paurelius885]

Just picked up an 8th gen si 4 door. It’s dope.

[@oscartejura4887]

The EG still my favourite all thanks to our boy Robbie Ferreira

[@adamdelorme4304]

I’ve had a red 2012 civic si coupe for about a year and a half and I love it, learned how to drive manual on my own car 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@kevinwhiting8391]

2012 the worst year for this whip

[@gspadez]

So we gonna distrespect the eg bubble hatch or coupe... I ain’t seen this one taking semi truck deliveries 😤

[@interceptingfist5682]

I've never seen a hatch take semi deliveries 🤔

[@gspadez]

Intercepting Fist imma need you to just leave the room... it’s obviously in reference to paying homage to the first fast and furious film...

[@atlasnovalis]

Too many Cool Vibrations if you ask me.

[@joshuacollins7398]

I have a 8 Gen Civic LX coupe white. Brought it in 2016. My car is a 2009. I brought it with 71K. I have it 98K on it now. I love 💘 my car

[@Shorty15c4007]

The Si and Type S badge most definitely raises your insurance premiums. The only thing this missing to make it a perfect daily is the fact that its not a hatchback. Hence why the 05-06 RSX Type-S is a better option.

[@gabrielstanghier6754]

I have 2007 ex 2 door, 240,000km lots of fun drive. Keeps on going.

[@leitmotiph]

Had a '17 Civic SI which replaced my '08 Civic. Comparing the two generations, I prefer the NA Si because power came on in a satisfying linear fashion without all the electronic bs and turbo lag of the newer gen Si's. That K20z > L15B7

[@dailydoseofpwnage]

4:32 . 100% I bought mine off the original owner who only fixed it at the dealership, it's the newest car I live had and it sure feels like it. Feels like brand new

[@PaganiGaming]

No ifs or butts, EP3 and EK9 are the best Civic Type R’s

[@tariqdacres7465]

Eg6

[@k4spermlbb]

eg6 is a spoon not a type r

[@_silverword]

Nah, FD2 ftw

[@Christian---]

EP was king until the new one in performance. The latter ones kept the engine but got fatter with more tech nonce, so gains debatable.

[@SamyyCJR]

I think the new civic designs are just not working as well which I why people aren’t buying , they need to tone it down with the crazy tail light designs and fake vents etc

[@monstereng43]

I have an 8th gen 08 coupe si and i love it but i still prefer the 90s civics but In my opinion the 06-11 is the last good looking civic they made before they redesigned them for 2012 the new type r is one of the nicer new modern ones but its not the same as the old type R's like the integra and civic hatch

[@TdaKid]

Sheeesh I would’ve brought my 8th gen if you guys were closer

[@cguts8950]

You mean your 10th gen?

[@josephjoseph5567]

Tony broke up with his 8th gen and cheated on her with a 10 gen civic

[@white_ish6247]

I’m 22 been driving my 8th gen for 4 years absolutely love it and glad I bought it back in 2017. It’s by no means fast but it’ll keep up with new wrx which is a huge surprise
