    Recently picked up an fg2 and let me tell you, a tune changes the character and you'll never go back to stock tune! Amazing review

      I need to do this to my car. Hondata is so damn expensive though. I have zero mods. I have a k&n drop in filter but that's it. Can you help me real quick? Is it even worth doing without mods, and what is the least expensive way I can do this? I'm getting tired of the rev-hang.

    Great video....I just bought one and came from a Mini R53, I miss the heavy steering feel of the German car, but the reliability and practicality of this car can't be beat......hearing the VTEC is fun too, but I miss the supercharger whine :(

      I'm trying to decide between an r53 S vs this Si. Coming from the mini, does the Si feel noticeably heavier or slower? How would compare the handling?

    The 8th gen Civics are my favorite body style wise. Aggressive without being too rice looking.

    Ive driven a few s2000s but never an FG2 civic Si. How would you say the power delivery and sound of the Si's K20 compares to the s2000s motor? They look very similar on paper. Very helpful review btw!

    Nice review, but for your information any car sold for the US market is not JDM. Actually Honda never even sold an 8th gen si coupe in Japan.

    Actually the 8th gens are a double wishbone setup in the front...and a multilink out back...its a far better sorted suspension than the RSX...
