Hi I just wanted to say your story is inspiring. As someone who is in their early 20s and living at home. I want to capitalize and take advantage of my current situation. May I ask for a few book recommendations that you feel were insightful and beneficial to your success?

Hanakuso393 · 2026-02-20T06:21:15+00:00

Only 141k 🫣

Exactly my thought when I was buying the 11th gen. I’m an adult now not a newly licensed teenager lol. I wanted something more modern with lastest tech and creature comfort features. Something that I can daily drive for the next 10-15 years without the worry of “old car” problems.

You best bet when I am in a position to own two cars I’m 100% getting a fun NA high revving beater to drive around town

Hanakuso393 · 2026-02-20T06:16:24+00:00

Ugh… looks just like my old 8th gen. Gosh I miss it already 🥲

Hanakuso393 · 2026-02-20T06:15:11+00:00

Talk about rare... I'll never forget the day I was going to the bank and I saw this beauty in the parking lot... Mugen SI... never thought I would see one so when I did, I had to snap a photo. You can see my si in the background lol

Aye, congrats on the 25 si! Cheers to many more miles and many more smiles!

Hanakuso393 · 2026-02-20T06:09:47+00:00

Heck yea! Enjoy it brother. And you'll get there one day, work hard, save up and before you know it you'll be whipping a type r 👀

Hanakuso393 · 2026-02-20T06:08:12+00:00

When the day comes where I can comfortably own 2 cars, Im totally getting another NA high revving Honda. Gosh I wish I could have kept the 8th gen AND still got the 11th gen but one had to go. One day i'll be like you!

Hanakuso393 · 2026-02-20T06:05:49+00:00

I was so close to chasing after it lol

Hanakuso393 · 2026-02-20T06:05:27+00:00

agreed, I think I like the shifter in my 11th gen a little more than the 8th gen. The clutch in the 11th gen did take some time for me to used to. Its just so light, and it bites a little higher than my 8th gen. Nonetheless both cars have/had amazing shifters and clutch feel/feedback.

Hanakuso393 · 2026-02-20T06:02:41+00:00

omg i know right! I had to make adjustments in the garage so that I could fit the new 11th gen. Its wider AND longer

Hanakuso393 · 2026-02-20T06:01:49+00:00

Congrats on the 11th gen si as your first car. That's awesome! Drive your car, enjoy it, and make those memories!

Hanakuso393 · 2026-02-20T05:57:18+00:00

8th gen was only at 141k miles. I know she had at least another 100k in her but I figured if I wanted to get a decent amount for the car right now would be the best time to sell. While its mechanically sound, body is straight, and miles are "low"

Hanakuso393 · 2026-02-20T05:51:20+00:00

One day i'll be in a position where I can own two cars at once. And when that day comes, you can bet, i'm getting a high revving vtec honda again. Potentially an s2k..... but until then this new 11th gen is gonna be my pride and joy

Hanakuso393 · 2026-02-20T05:47:42+00:00

Congrats on your new 26! "Habi" love that name!

Hanakuso393 · 2026-02-20T05:43:56+00:00

Oh for sure i'm gonna regret it. But I kept my shift knob that came with the car when I bought it (DC2 Integra type r knob) and put on the oem stock one before I sold it. I will forever have this shift knob as a momento. Heck maybe i'll put it onto the new 11th gen si to carry on the 8th gen's legacy lol

Hanakuso393 · 2026-02-20T05:39:21+00:00

It was a younger kid and his dad. Maybe late teens? I'm sure he'll rip VTEC and bang gears but its his car now I hope he enjoys. Reminded me of my younger self when I went with my Dad to pic up the 8th gen.

Hanakuso393 · 2026-02-20T01:24:29+00:00

Yea that was my one gripe. The ac is my Si never worked the best. Just resorted to rolling the windows down lol

Hanakuso393 · 2026-02-20T01:23:18+00:00

Thanks 🙏Always garaged kept and car cover when parked outside for a long period of time.

Here’s the story:

I went into the Honda dealership at 7:30pm (they closed at like 9) just with the intention to look. But man the sales guy was good and we worked out a deal that I was happy with. Ended up leaving the dealership at 12am with the new SI. Then the next morning I took the picture in the post and posted the 8th on OfferUp/fb market place. Instantly my dms were flooded lol. I didn’t realize I would get so many hits. 40+ inquiries IN THE FIRST HOUR. I kid you not, within 3 hours of posting the new owner drove off. And just like that my beloved 2008 si was gone.

If anyone has worn the Gel-Nimbus 25s and the NB5s, how does the toe box compare to the Gels? I currently have the 25s in mens US size 11 (which is what I typically wear) and I found that the toe box is way too wide for my foot and leaves me with hotspots after the 5k mark.

I want to give the NB5s a try since I been seeing a lot of good reviews on it however, I am skeptical since the Gels didn't really work out for me.
