Finally,
Hope you you've been we'll been waiting on the drop

I’ve faced the window issue. Apparently it’s because of a safety feature where if it sees resistance it goes back down, like if you have something in the way. The solution is to just clean the edges where it gets pretty dusty and cruddy over time. Cleaning that solved the issue for me.

Picked up a 2-owner Si coupe with 56k earlier this year, currently at ~79k untuned with PRL cold air & clutchmaster 400fx clutch+lightweight fw. These are pretty damn nice cars for the price tbh. Had an FK7 also around 56k before and that was nice, but these feel so damn good with the extra hp+tq and limited slip dif. In typical Civic fashion my interior has gotten a little rattly with age, and the coupe does not have the same massive styling aftermarket that the sedan and hatch do. These are pretty strong motors for what they are though, and you can squeeze some pretty nice power out of them with relative ease.

And lunar silver is definitely the best color ;)

I have a 2020 Si Coupe. Car does take awhile to warm up, you're right on that. Lol. I live in Canada and the winter gets freezing cold here and I drive the car easy for 15-20 minutes before I start really pushing it (although I don't push it that often but I do enjoy flooring it sometimes in 1st and 2nd gear). I also 100% agree with you on the rev hang. I had it bad in my car. Got a Hondata FlashPro to tune it out and the car is so much smoother and way more fun to drive with it disabled. Hated driving the car with it on. Drove me nuts. Really hope Honda fixes the rev hang at some point because I won't buy another Si again if they don't. Completely kills the driving experience for me. It's a beautiful car and a great car but the rev hang ruins it for me. Thank god I invested in the Hondata for mine because I was getting rid of it this year if the rev hang wasn't getting disabled and I've only had it since March 2022. Honda fucked up big time with the programming on these cars. With the rev hang on, the car drove absolutely terrible when it was cold as it was super jerky just letting the clutch out normally and I didn't find it drove great warmed up either. Thank god for Hondata.

That fitment is perfect ! What’s the wheel specs if you don’t mine me asking ? Are you on coilovers of lowering springs ?

I have the tsp stage 1 + tune, acuity stage 3 short shifter, greddy supreme sp exhaust, and prl cobra cold air intake on a 2018 civic si sedan. I've had no issues with my clutch and I do beat on it (though not as bad as others). Got the car with 35k miles and now I'm at almost 90k miles. I love the car! I have the same issue with my passenger window too. It's weird

Good video, looking to get a 10th gen to daily. I have an 8th gen Si I will be keeping as well, no disrespect but you have not heard a Honda that sounds good until you hear an 8th gen with the stock exhaust and a short ram intake. The sounds you hear are as classic Honda as you can get. At 5500 when it makes its final change over the it makes is not something you can get from any other car. Your car sounds good, but turbo 4cyl motors are the kale of the car universe, nobody loves them when other drivers don’t ruins exist but they are good for most people.

[conservativefelon]

Good videos. Appreciate them. Definitely need the chrome delete around the windows. It was the first thing I did with my SI

[oceanswithnoend]

Nice build! The car sounds good. I just picked myself up a 2019 civic si. Can’t wait to start modding her.

[michaellongeri]

Dunno if anyone has said anything about the passenger window, but that's a learning problem. There are videos something to do with accessory mode and holding down the switches in a certain way for a duration while all the way open and all the way closed, my 2006 Si did the same thing, so did my buddies 07 4 door EX . Or you could roll them up and google how to do the power window unit reset which could make them revert back to a normal working state. Definitely check the forums!

Nice car. I have sometimes (7 out of 10) the same issue with the window. But it’s the driver side and I’m in a 9th gen si

My 2018 Civic EXT (bought new June 2018), 1.5 liter, turbo, CVT. 174 hp with 162 lb/ft torque with NO mods and NO tune.
After nearly four and a half years and 127, 500 trouble-free miles averaging 34.1 mpg I have zero complaints.
The only repair performed was replacing the AC condenser at 120, 000 miles (under extended warranty for a known AC problem). That’s it. Best car I’ve ever owned for overall satisfaction. Excellent performance. Great fuel efficiency. Very reliable.

With meticulous maintenance, I hope to get at least 300, 000 miles without repair to the engine, turbo, or CVT. Most people think I won’t get even 200k miles without replacing the turbo. Well, I’m about 70k miles away from that milestone…fingers crossed.

Press and hold the window switch down and hold it for 5 seconds after is stops do the same for the up position, congratulations you just re calibrated the window safely stop

[alexvela]

I have a 2020, for what it is a 1.5L T, is a great ride. A little fun to drive, my 3 kids fit on the back and I can still have fun with it. Tuned with PRL CAI RACE MAF is a little fun. I do need stickier tires and a stronger clutch but for now it goes.

[cameron]

it's crazy because my passenger window automatically comes back down also, but only when it rains

[ThePegwarmer]

If you replace the hvac unit with the Canadian model, you can bypass the screen and directly adjust the climate via a knob.

[danielluedeman]

Hell I wish a YouTuber had on at like high because mines about go hit 130000. Blew 3rd gear already but stock clutch was fine and looked like a usually clutch wear. I’m full stage one bolt on with a new stage 2 clutch. This is a blast of a car. 2017 si coupe

[repinrs]

Dawg get a chrome delete for the windows and a nice duckbill for the sedan

[satwindersingh]

the heatup issue is real.. here in canada in winters, once i ran it idle for 25 minutes and still the temp guage was not visible at

[nyxnax]

In regards to taking forever to warm up, honda issued an ECU update to address this. For people in colder climates that do many short trips, where the motor didn’t come to temp, were getting oil dilution. Your dealership should be able to apply this update.

As for the window though, I got the same issue. As others have said, cleaning it helps a lot, but if you also then put a thin layer of turtle wax or car wax, it really did the trick and lasts much longer!
