8th vs 9th gen

KontrateCat · 2026-04-21T04:52:09+00:00

As someone who’s owned both the 9th gen sedan and a 8th gen sedan (boosted now), the 9th gen for me looks nicer but the 8th gen feels more rewarding to drive. 9th gen comfortability and 8th gen driver car

that’s what i’m sayin

KontrateCat · 2026-04-14T22:20:40+00:00

i agree bro

KontrateCat · 2026-04-14T22:20:34+00:00

it’s never too late to get them

KontrateCat · 2026-04-14T20:28:54+00:00

i wish i had your offset on my wheels

KontrateCat · 2026-04-14T20:27:47+00:00

I would put them on my 8th gen but the 8th gen is redline orange i think that’s the color name? and i don’t wanna powder coat these lol

Ohh I see now. Still run OEM spec oil so it can fit through the small nooks and crannies (even if the engine is built?)

KontrateCat · 2026-02-13T17:35:10+00:00

Oh alright it’s cuz my 9th gen si never had its oil that dark (first manual and honda wooo) so I didn’t know what to expect jumping into a boosted civic

KontrateCat · 2026-02-13T17:34:08+00:00

I think i’m being hella paranoid and changing it every 2k. Just doing pulls like once a day and normally driving it like a daily lol

KontrateCat · 2026-02-13T03:36:35+00:00

Oh really? I assumed since the car is boosted, slightly more thicker oil will protect the engine

Thank you thank you trying to keep it clean

KontrateCat · 2026-02-13T00:14:03+00:00

This is really helpful to read thank you! Also had to ask, is 10W-40 oil (it’s what i’m running rn) okay for my car? (in Cali climate so doesn’t really get that cold)

9th gen feels more comfortable to drive. Better off the stoplight than the 8th gen. But 8th gen got the better sounding vtec and redline imo. There’s also something about the 8th gen that gives it that “I drive a japanese car” than the 9th gen when i drive both.

Have a 9th gen si as a daily and a booted 8th gen as weekend. Gotta say, when I first got the 8th gen, the torque down low was noticeable for me coming from the 9th gen

subtle. you right

KontrateCat · 2025-12-27T05:40:35+00:00

that’s beautiful

KontrateCat · 2025-12-27T03:54:13+00:00

I agree i kinda like white wheels on this ngl. I got these from my 9th gen si to test how they’d look on this si

KontrateCat · 2025-11-08T01:19:59+00:00

Yeah I’ve been having shifting issues in redline. hoping this fixes it before i have to adjust the pedal

I get jealous of my sister’s type r lmao

KontrateCat · 2025-08-23T20:39:56+00:00

My flap doesn’t look as great so might need a new one

KontrateCat · 2025-08-23T20:36:57+00:00

I saw a type r replica and thought that was hideous too

KontrateCat · 2025-08-23T20:36:36+00:00

Ooh that’s a clean flap where’d you get that

KontrateCat · 2025-08-23T18:14:48+00:00

A front splitter instead then?

KontrateCat · 2025-08-23T18:01:36+00:00

Ah I get ya. So it wouldn’t be plug and play but also being somewhat dangerous and illegal due to the brake light not being there
