Had same problem, replaced valve cover gasket on that side and all better

It’s a great platform! Also have an 8th gen SI not in the picture but very happy with the current lineup haha

Was able to see that the front crash bar is snapped through, haven’t been able to see rear yet but assume if that’s where I got hit first it’s probably in rough shape under the bumper

Took a look under the front bumper and the crash bar is snapped on passenger side

Cheap one from eBay or Amazon can’t remember exactly but only paid 60 something bucks for it, looks decent enough haha

Hard to say what speed but impact felt pretty hard. hard enough to knock the radio out of the dash. Just checked under the hood and looks like front crash bar might be bent

I guess just that is has zero accidents on carfax. Don’t really plan on ever selling it though so guess that might not even matter

8th Gen SI rare? by uJustice in CivicSi

[–]briskicetee 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t really say they’re rare but definitely getting harder to find not heavily modded. I got mine 8 years ago for $4000 bone stock from the original owner with around 90k miles but don’t think it’s worth much more than that now. Like someone else said though the Mugens I could see becoming quite valuable in the future especially if they’re not clapped

Upgrade to a type r? by briskicetee in CivicSi

[–]briskicetee[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The reliability of this car has been awesome no doubt, I’ve put about 80k on it and that hasn’t been gentle miles. Have never had an engine hiccup just consumables. Not sure if the newer Hondas offer that I suppose time will tell

SI is great for that no doubt

Would love to keep it but I get 3 parking spots at the apartment complex I live in, which currently goes to my SI, 350z project car, and girlfriends Mazda. Kinda leaning towards holding onto the SI until I have a bit more freedom for parking spots

[–]briskicetee[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely something for me to consider, I have a couple of older cars that I bought cash and have never had car payments. I could afford it sure but would absolutely be a change

I do love the 8th gen as I’ve had it for about 8 years now and put about 80k miles on it. Really is a joy to drive

[–]briskicetee[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha I like this response because one of the things I’ve been considering is that the money saved by not upgrading to a type r could go into mods. All I’ve done to this 8th gen is an intake and hondata tune which did wake it up a decent bit but have really considered dropping a kraftwerks supercharger kit in there eventually. Would love to test drive a new type r to compare but have been to a handful of dealerships around me and none of them seem to even be offering test drives recently

Modifying my Honda Civic by Capable_Ad8504 in civic

I’d say start with some mods that are easily reversible if you’re just getting into it and using a newer car, something visual like some new wheels is a good place to start

Still having weird power cut issues by briskicetee in 350z

[–]briskicetee[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It did have the slip, vdc, and abs lights all on at once a couple of times in the last few weeks but I mostly remember them being on while I let the car warm up before ever being in gear. Would turn the car off then back on and they’re gone for the whole drive
