You guys did what Pimp My Ride never could, you cost-effectively took this car to the next level. Kudos!

So many car based YouTube content is in hot/dry parts of the world, good to see some useful info on underside protection for us living north of the 49th parallel 👍

Nice to see someone who knows how to row gears in a Honda. That is how it is done!

[Danielism]

Would love a series where you take a viewer and their car to TMP and teach them how to drive on the track in their own slightly modified/heavily modified car and then dial it in if it needs adjustments like brakes/suspension. Great work on the videos they are doing awesome

[tennnis]

Ridiculous amount of value and integrity to this car.

I want a 8th gen si so badly. I love the radio, wheels and hybrid racing bits you guys added. Car looks sick. Also I love how you guys explained that fact about high zinc oil that I didn’t know. This build was very simple but kinda budget build. Those master cylinder stoppers really do make a difference. Their so cheap but no one I know even think to buy them.

10:30 - great bit of information from there, cheers Nick! - Taz.

[kevinc]

Love these quick build series. Keep them up guys.

[jellofuel]

solid number for basically two mods and a retune! That curve looks amazing

[ak]

Aw man, I like the fact that cars from this era don’t have big screens in the dash. That said, the kit you used does at least look pretty clean.

[axsb]

thanks for all the uncut dyno runs, z3 always revs so smooth

This is one of the best days I've ever had! I still can't believe the chances. I actually heard about tuningbynick trough a guy I saw at a red light, who was driving a very nicely built sir. after scheduling a dyno day with tuningbynick (who is incredible at what he does) I brought in my Honda accord 2.4L For a tune. My very first time ever having a car dyno tuned so I was already at a high level of excitement but still I was trying to act natural, just meeting Nick was cool enough. I originally saw Peter at the front while waiting for Nick but I shrugged it off like "ohhey that guy on the phone looks like Peter Yeah right no way that's him" but while sitting on the chair next to the dyno, having dave come up out of no where and ask me " how much hp it's making" just totally blew my mind and my level of excitement went crazy!! I honestly tried hard to keep cool loI. i still couldn't believe it. I was super nervous but you guys are just soo charismatic! Thank you guys for signing my ECU cover and for taking a pic with me! Honestly don't know what more I could have asked for on my very first day ever dyno tuning. I ALMOST rescheduled but Nick insisted I try to make it. Best decision ever! You guys are way too cool!

Hello Gents!

I’m huge fan of your channel. I worked for American Honda Motor Co. for 30 years until my recent retirement. I have always loved seeing people enjoying and appreciating Honda’s products from automobiles, motorcycles, power equipment and small engineers. Honda’s focus has always been on engineering brilliance and innovation while retaining simplicity and reliability. It was always my dream as teen when I first saw the 1986 Honda Accord to work for Honda. I was fortunate enough immediately after university to have been given an opportunity to get my foot in the door. I was able to work my way up as a Sr. Project Leader in AHM’s Automobile Sales Division’s Product Planning Department.

Anyway, I was just watching you guys install a modern infotainment screen on a older Cvic Si. I recently inherited my uncle’s 2014 Mercedes-Benz E350 when he felt that he was getting tool old to drive safely. I received it with only 65, 000 miles. It’s in pristine condition, something of a “old dude’s” car. Never driven hard, serviced at a dealer, and garaged for its entire life. The paint is absolutely gorgeous and not a single rock chip on the front end. I wanted to know if you can recommend a similar modern infotainment upgrade which will provide me with CarPlay or Android Auto. Any recommendations you can share is much appreciated for the 2014 Mercedes-Benz W212 : M276 : 4 Door Sedan with a 3.5L V6 RWD.

Thank you very much!

This car deserved a bit more love. A header, Hasport rear motor mount, K-tuned CMC-slave assy, and a hybrid racing short shifter would've made this ride whole imo.

[goracks]

I think one of the most impressive things to me was Cavill’s shifting. Remind me to not race him in my Fiesta ST.

[mathieubeland]

I cut the bottom of an oil litre container and put it under the filter to avoid making a mess on the si/rsx/ep3/crv.These engines are strong and durable. I have an 06 rsx-s, 205whp, 170k km and track driven for 3 seasons now.

Loving the on-road and on-track feedback starting at 16:40!

[baker]

I've always liked this Gen civic, I wish we got 'em in the UK

[tannercherko]

Sold my 8th Gen and bought a 2016 fiesta st. I honestly miss my 8th gen. . . Great chassis and engine characteristics
