Dude said I was raining in Mexico then said it started to rain saying it’s typical Florida weather 💀
i was about to say the same thing lmao
I thought the same thing then figured maybe when he says Mexico perhaps he's referring to a place in Florida called Mexico lol
Im actually picking mine up tomorrow. Sold my 09 coupe and I miss it like crazy, took me 2 years but im getting an 09 sedan. Theyre so much fun. Love 8th gen Sis. Best Sis ever, youre totally right my man.
Congrats! I’m sure it’s going to be a lot of fun especially if you do a slew of bolt ons and/or a custom tune
Typical Florida weather in Mexico 😂
2008 civic si FA5 owner here, I ripp the fuck out of those tires EVERYDAY for YEARS. (fluids, PCV, bearings, belts, filters, brakes) and youre fucking solid forever. Easy to own, gnarly all motor vehicle.
8th Gen Honda Civic SI is the real Si.
8th gens are def a lot of fun and you can drive them haaaaard without issues. I went from an FA5 to a 2020 FC1 and I love my 10th gen, its definitely less raw , but the chassis is also waaaaay better on the 10th
Yea there’s just something about that 8th gen and the way that motor screams lol
8th gen is where it’s at as far as civic si’s
Yes thanks for this video I always wondered how these 2 generations compared and better yet coming from benji who has had both, I have an FA5 myself I love it cheers
That’s awesome!! Thanks for watching 🤙🏼
Own a 2010 Si sedan (FA5), in Dyno Blue Pearl. Only have an Injen SRI, 3-piece pulley kit from NST, and an e-tune/w Flashpro. Mine now redlines at 8,400rpm. LOVE MY CAR!!! ☺️😃👌
That’s awesome!! I never thought I’d have that much fun in an 8th gen lol might have to start the search for one
the 8th gen aged really well
It really did and after this review I’d really consider one as a project!
Dang Benji i guess you shouldn't have sold me those voodoo camber arms lol.
Nobody understands when I say that i keep the red 2008 civic si Fa5 for the weekend, and my audi a3 tsi sedan for daily drive...today I only talked about that with people who know cars
His red 8th is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💋🔥💋🔥💋🔥💋🔥
At first, I was sad when Benji mentioned his 10th gen was totaled, but after seeing Alex’s face while doing pulls, I can tell Benji’s 8th gen is fantastic 💪
I love all Honda I'm a big Honda fan..can't wait to buy mine I want a 7gen r 6gen..from Jamaica with love 👍🏽👌🏽
Good luck bro been a 7th gen owner for 2.5 years and they are truly built to last extremely reliable and nimble in the corners
i just got my fa5 yesterday... LOVE it..my 3rd civic.
Full send! K20 Ftw!! 2007 Fa5 owner Here (:
Ha! That’s awesome thanks for watching 🤙🏼
I owned a 2009 FA5 for about 10 years. It was an awesome car but after I got the Type R I never drove it so I sold it. I originally thought I would miss it, but I don't.
Have both the 8th and 9th gen and if I know I’m gonna be racing or going to the track I take the 8th gen but I daily the 9th gen and the extra torque is a god send and still having a kick of V-Tec is awesome. It’s not as strong of V-Tec as my 8th but the whole RPM range feels a little more powerful in the 9th gen.
I have a 2008 Si. The best.
Roads closed pizza boy find another way around 👉🏻 GOD DAMN STREETRACERS
To all the negative comments saying he was racing in Mexico but the florida weather got him!! don’t know anything about racing lol...
That k20 sounds amazing
8th gens still DOPE!!!!!
The funniest part of the video is when they cap about going to mexico when theyre in florida😂😂
I hate when people say the car isnt fast though.....like its pretty fucking fast man yeah sure its not 500 whp but for a sub 200 hp car it takes alot of more powerful cars on quite easily
I’d honestly do the same if something happens my 10th gen si I want to get a clean af 8th gen 🥶
He’s ready to pull over a 8th Gen. 🤣
10th gen cost 18-25k , 8th gen is 8-10k , you put 3 grand into tb the 8th gen youre pushing 400+hp and doing it with FULL VTEC , I already gave a brand new 10th gen the sauce in my stock 8th gen lol COST TO POWER RATIO IS NONEXISTENT 😂
You ain't making 400 plus for only 3k lol
@@tyhyhh With a Supercharger or Turbo yeah
Guardian831 you arnt going to supercharge or turbo your 8th gen for 3k haha
@@tyhyhh It’s not that expensive 3-5k tops
Guardian831 if you want to do it reliably with any bit of reliability I can’t imagine doing it for less than 5k minimum and that’s if you do al the work yourself
I have owned both generations. I had a 2009 SI and now I own a 2020 SI. And to be honest the 10th generation is better in every conceivable way. Of course you’re going to be able to build the eighth generation tomorrow horsepower that’s only because it’s an older car with more aftermarket support. The K-series motor has been in production for 22 years and the L 15 only five. It’s not an honest comparison.
😂😂😂😂
Full send!!!!! FULLLL SEND!!!!!!!
8th gen has the best engine. But the 6th gen em1 are the best looking.
Nah ma boi you’re on a sick one 🤨
8th Gen ia epic.. Fg2 is sexiest civic
why does the thumbnail say 8200 redline when even the factory is hire. you can easily set it a few hundred rpm higher with a tune on a stock set up
I got a Fiji Blue FA5 as my first project car, its fun as fuck. FBO and with Hasport engine mounts too. I wanna get another one haha.
Should switch to a 215 or 225 in the rear. Its cool to hear the 10th vs 8th debate, I have an 8th now but feel Id get bored of a 10th even if its faster.
I had a 10th gen Si coupe with a few things done to it. Pretty fun and quick but I did get tired of it. I'm looking for an 8th gen now.
I feel the same way right now. I have a 18’ civic sport touring hatch. The 1.5 turbo was amazing having owned slower NA cars. The turbo part is fun. I have it tuned to around 250 torque at 20 psi. But I’m kinda bored of it and want a 8th gen, plus it’s a little pricey for the 10th
I need that mesh grill insert bro where you get that???
What a beast.
That thing NEEEEDS a short throw shifter...
whats the point of saying you’re in mexico and recording his speed if you’re just gonna blur it out
They blurred the speedo lol. 4th pulls to 100
What’s top speed ?
Yes it is
Full send 2020 💪🏾 k20 la luz
Good video
Full send!!!
Fa5 with a turbo kit is clearly the better car 😂😂 10th gen won't even catch up lol
Can you give me a tip on the best route to get my wheels to poke past the fender? Even the smallest bit would be huge. I just don’t wanna scrape and I don’t wanna roll my fenders unless I have too I’m already sitting low af
So I just watched some more of the video. I seen all the tire fall of from his fender. Please make sure YOU give me a tip. Not scraper boy please😂 jk all love.
Wheel spacers
Mexico is the best 😏
Is Florida the new New Mexico.

It's sound like paul walker mitsubishi lancer evo 2 fast 2 furious
No sympathy for rear camber gang.
whats the suspension on it
Why you blurred the speed man?
Sounds a lot like my k24 in my 9th gen but better
First mod listed is LED lights ☠️
😂😂😂
But there is somebody with a 10th gen running well over 750whp... i havent seen anybody run that on a k20z3, they have with the k20a2 but the k20 in the 8th gen is no match for the 10th gen especially since the fact that the 10th gen has 40 more lbs of torque and is making the same if not more power than the VTEC k20z3 motor, someone tried to run over 700whp on a k20z3 and they saw cracking on the bottom of the block
Please show me a 10th gen with 750 whp lmao
@@thomaslopez6932 look up the “Ososik Civic” 10th gen
@@josiahbutler2254 But you realize its VERY hard to squeeze power out of a 1.5 liter
@@thomaslopez6932 obviously not... the d16 can push over 900whp because of its low compression
@@josiahbutler2254 Im talking abt the 10th gen vs the k series, the 10th gen yes has nice power because of the turbo (ive owned one) but now i have an 8th gen and the k series i can def say has more potential
What’s your mods
you didn’t fullsend if ur blurring speeds
You paying the speeding fines??
the best gen si ever is the em1 period. the best civic imo is the EK hatch! imo. lol
Ha! *_That’s a good one! I like your sense of humor!_*
Why u so scared to show speed that’s the only thing everybody is curious about and wants to know how fast it can go
Because UA-cam would be petty and flag the video
I don't let other people drive my shyt Like that 👀👀🤣🤣🤣 j.s👀👀🤣🤣
What’s his UA-cam channel
I’m not sure about his channel, but his Instagram is @papi.fa5

Clearly you are not in "Mexico" if you are censoring your speed. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.
You can never be too safe even in the streets of Mexico 😅
@@AGVAuto Ha ha ha ha ha ha.
So you cover the speed lol.. thats lame

These kids don't know power lmao
Thats not Mexico they don't have nice roads 😒
