  • K20 loves it. but theyre right on rev-matching

  • K20 loves it. 

  • I almost cried when I saw that redline after the first downshift... So painful to watch :/

  • fuel light is on

  • please sell that car and buy a old kia that has an automatic transmission...like if u agree

  • painful to watch

  • Can not shift lol im sorry.

  • My god. How can you suck this bad with a Honda transmission?

  • coupe?

  • ummmm.....wheres the up shift? lol and i agree you need to match your revs on DOWNSHIFTING lol.

  • wat mods?

  • sounds great....

  • Why do you put this up on the web? It just makes you look like a tool, that cannot DOWN shift properly.

  • Wow yours glows red!!?? I wish mine did nope its blue.

  • @FrenchAmerican14 this is a si thats why

  • @FrenchAmerican14

    That's because it's a base model, dipwad.

    OP, you need to rev match those downshifts, or you'll either be paying big bucks for new clutch or a couple of new gearsets. It's also wise to stay out of VTEC range on downshifts.

  • I own a civic '88... and you can eat my dirt whenever you want.... just pick a date!!!

  • take off your traction controll (vsa)

  • Why does every new SI owner suck balls at shifting?

  • i don't get it

  • that's a great way to fuck your valves... hondas don't have a rev limiter on idiotic downshifts, if you downshift and your tachs goes off the charts then Honda will say "sorry can't help you"

  • people who treat their cars like this don't deserve one.

  • "Full tank baller"!!!

  • and people wonder y there transmission is fucked at the end of the day.

  • y are the tacometres so sweet

  • Someone call the Tranny abuse hotline. This guy should be behind bars!!!

  • woot! this is one reason i buy new cars! haha jk.....but seriously

  • dude holy crap i hope you learned how to revmatch by now cuz i see that this video is old!

  • jesus christ you shud of bought the auto..lol

    FILL UP MAN! your on E!!!!!

  • @estupido111 the civic si doesnt come in auto. unless you get a pre-2006 model and thats a whole different car.

  • what a shitty driver

  • dude.. say goodbye to your tranny u keep doing that stupid shit... and turn ur vsa on dumbass... its there to HELP you launch... not to turn off so u can burn ur 200 a piece fucking tires.. ra-tard.... -.-... god i would never do this to my si...

  • @bixler90 well if you owned an si you would know that vsa is terrible in launches and it doesnt help you at all it actually cuts away alot of power once the tires spin so get your shit correct

  • @bixler90 i have to disagree strongly with the vsa helping you launch, its not a launch control it will continue to retard the ignition until u gain traction resulting with your car falling on its face outta the hole. these cars make power in vtech and u wanna keep it as close to it as possible and u do that by spinning of the line keeping ur revs high and running first gear all the way out until it hooks then shift. i just cant se how it would help or all pros would have it?

  • go get gas lol

  • cant drive

  • its called down shifting

  • ohhhhhhh vtec yass

  • poor driver

  • don't downshift in 2nd in 3 or 4 poor civic

  • Has to be the worlds worst driver I've ever seen. My 8 y/o neice can drive a manual better than that! Come on dude!

  • fill up on gas b4 u eat shit like that atleast lol

  • ouch, poor car.

  • ouch. those non-rev matched downshifts are a no-no

  • Someone teach this guy how to drive plz... I feel sorry for that civic :(

    WRX OWNER

  • hurts to see this. I drove the same way and it cost me a motor, clutch and tranny. CAREFUL!

  • Seriously dude, learn how to rev match and shift. It isn't difficult.

  • Meh.. if you had torque you coulda just tossed it into third.

  • Hahaha. Funny shit.

  • why downshift to second u get wway to short of a gear pull then u have to shift again and lose time

  • hahah nice shifting

    ive got the same civic.. but not SI shit!!

    hahah bring it some fuel man

  • When the light appears its telling you when to shift. Obviously since you don't have an si you don't know.

  • oh well

    i see that u suck at driving

  • I agree. He's shitty.

  • you need to work on your shifting bud before u put a vid on youtube

  • uhm does that little light blink on the right of the digital spedometer to tell u wen to shift please let me know and y does that car rev so fast it jumped from 3 thousand rpms to like 8 thousand in about a second wwttff?

  • Because its so speedy, and also there is a light at the top next to the digital speed.

  • I think he was asking if that little light on the speedometer tells you when to shift...and the answer is NO. That is a light to tell you that you are about to run out of gas!

    Does ANY car on the road have a light to tell you when to shift? LOL I've never heard of that in my entire life...and if it DOES exist, then damn people are lazy.

  • Um, yes, plenty of cars have shift lights indicating when it's time to shift. Si does to.

    It has nothing to do with being lazy, it indicates to you, the driver, without looking at the tach (you know, because you should be concentrating on driving, if you're redlining the car), when you are getting close to the redline, and to lets you know, easily, and quickly, that you need to shift.

    Silly 12yo.

  • I'm not talking about the red line light...I'm talking about the yellow gas light that was on when the video started. I thought someone had asked about that light. I have an 07 FA5, so I'm fully aware of the red line light and what its purpose is.

  • Oh old comment spam btw; yes kmr386 (btw, hi on the 8th), my Mom had a VW Golf that actually had a light on the dash tell you when to shift, not redline. It wasn't a lazy thing, it was something to tell you how to get the best mileage or something. It worked horrid, and no one ever paid attention to it.

    But yeah, they've had it, didn't work out, and I would imagine that's gone into the trash at this point. Probably could do a better job with it now, considering technology (this was like 96 btw)

  • Yeah sounds like a waste of money for VW to spend...if someone doesn't know how to drive a manual effectively, then they shouldn't be driving a manual period, IMO. HAHA

  • he was in 6th gear and put it into 3rd or 4th

  • Because he put the car from 6th gear into 2nd gear. He clearly isn't the best of drivers when it comes to stick. And the blinking light was the shift light.

  • its the vtak y0

  • LOL

  • slow...................

  • man let me get in that Si ...i would unleash the beast in it...

  • You need to turn your VSA off man and give it some gas before you let the clutch out it will be much smoother and the acceleration would be better!

  • hahahaha good point. Inline-4 at 8k or a V10 at 8350 rpm M5.

  • M5 costs 3 times as much so i hope its better.

  • M5 is soo much fun to drive... took my dad's to prom =p... never drove it with the 500hp yet tho, scared of the little M button...

  • doesnt have 500 hp

  • yea work on your shifting a bit. and thats a down shift not an up.

  • lol & tank up 2 xD

  • nice car, but bad shifting.

  • six mad

  • i think u need some gas

  • QUICK A GAS STATION!!

  • He keeps the tank empty for weight savings.  With 30 lb/ft of torque it would be difficult to get the Si moving w/ a full tank of fuel.

  • actually it has 140 lb/ft Torque

  • lol which is good for lawnmower, not a car.

  • LOL

  • you should know all about lawnmowers, its the only economy car you can afford

  • Bwahah that makes about as much sense as the Si makes torque. Translation: none.

  • ever droped on your head as a child? it would explain a lot.

  • "droped" huh? LMAO, keep digging yourself deeper pal.

  • that blows

  • actually it has 140 pounds at the crank. You actually probably have 110 to 120 to the wheels.

  • wow I've never seen that yellow light on my si's gas gauge before, I never knew it existed. Thanks for letting me know.

  • Learn how to rev-match your downshifts pal, that poor clutch :-(

  • I WAS THINKING THE SAME THING

  • don't they make you sign a waiver saying you won't do stuff like this when you rent a car? hope you got your deposit back...

  • Get some gas

  • your low on gas. u might want to get some. lol

  • So have you replaced your synchros yet? XD

  • seems slow but looks fun

  • Just so you know, most of what your doing is downshifting.....not upshifting....just thought you should know....

    and your almost out of gas...

  • 2 step launch control?

  • no thats Honda parking revlimiter.

    iv never ever seen any one do that.

  • no need to say sorry PAL. It's fine...

  • if i c correctly ur odometer had 140745 miles wtf

  • that's 14074.5 homie

  • oh, sorry DOG

  • Dude you suck... Missed a gear there near the end... Don't even have a good amount of gas in the car... Good job buddy...

  • i wish i can do that.....

  • your gas light is on

  • that guy really shouldnt have posted this vid, stupid ass video..... lmao

  • how many times did you hit the rev limiter lol

  • excellent display of driving. And by excellent I mean terrible.

  • LMFAO!!

  • @BowtechBullseye

    Hahhahahahahaa

  • Is the Civic SI only available with the manual trans?

  • Yup. If you want automatic, then buy the 1.8 and 2.0 liter versions.

  • oh yeah man. U need gas. Yeah, gas is expensive, but try not to let it get that low....could eventually cost ya with a new fuel pump. Keep enjoyin ur SI =)

  • Dude! you need gas!!! lol oh and fuck those bitches talking shit about your shifting, Im sure they're only proud on how their automatics do not mess up for them!

  • lol nice launch not. FWD sucks. Crappy shifs. Was that an attempt at power shifting or something? Sorry I know you probably just bought your car; but drive it for at least 2 weeks before you video it. If you had it for more than that....sorry you are no race car driver :)

  • Dude has 14k miles on the odo . . . He just plain sucks. Come on, ive been driving stick for two days, I have the same car and I drive better than this.

  • wow that launch was horrible, and most of those shifts were sketchy

  • well it wasn't too bad...

    hah, nice rally inspired shift light, i had on idea they had those

  • oh man...this guy is fucking up his transmission really nice....

  • hand in ur civic

  • wat tha fuck is he doin.????

  • wow u suck at driving

  • LMFAO!!!!

  • A stupid white mama boy that don't know how to drive, how can u down shift so abruptly? Just to show off? You did it ALL wrong boy...

  • Kia Rio > Civic Si

    Ford Fiesta > Civic Si

    My bicycle > Civic Si

  • haha, dude 6th to 2nd is a down shift. not up.

    think about it man...and you did 0-6 in about 9sec.you aint all that cool man.

  • it would have been faster if he knew how to shift

  • how did you not run out of gas o.0

  • it's a civic dude, you could go 100 miles on that mutch gas, even a Si.

  • well not really i have an 07 ex an it will give me atthe most 35 miles, it has 20 bars, that contains 13.2 gallon but usually fills at 12 so he had like 2 gallon left,but yeah civic ar goog on has, but only if driven under 3000 rpm and 1500

  • haha..cars cute

  • I hope that you didn't pay for that car. Shifting into second gear at 50 mph is moronic.

  • Yup, hes sucks at driving.

  • Hurry or you wont make it to the gas station LoL

  • Amen lol

  • damn people he's not treating it that badly. I've have seen a lot worse. If Honda is a reliable as people think it is it should be able to handle some revs. If the Si is a performance car it should be able to take some abuse.

  • yeah i have an 07 civic ex automatic trans and I'm always accelerating fast from fist gear to 2nd until i hit d, i know is not a manual trans but i habe so far 22k miles on and it still works fine no problem, so yeah i think the si could handle that and waayyyyyy more, because i sometimes abuse mine, and its not for racing, so i think honda r ok.

  • you are an idiot and a disgrace to all Honda drivers.... when going from 6th gear to second gear you are NOT going UP you are going DOWN..... you are retarded and you do not deserve that car.... it's called DOWN SHIFTING

  • you past redline on every single shift, i feel bad for your car

  • Ur gonna blow everything in that car.

    6th gear down to 2nd.....must not be ur car....or u just dont give a shit

    and launching at rev limit....damn ur dumb

    here are sum tips.......

    launch at 3.5k rpm

    dont "downshift" from 6th to 2nd

    get sum damn gas

    and finally...learn to shift

  • a launch at 3.5 will bog

  • u think???

    i release clutch at 3.5 k and i get my best times. but i let out the clutch fast

  • what kind of car?

  • i do it in my Rsx-S and my friends new civic si

  • my civ bog if launch that low i launch right under vtec so when the tires stop spinning im in vtec

  • i do that and i just sit there and burn rubber in my rsx if i do that

  • wider tires maybe? youll prolly bet a better time try it maybe btw im pretty drunk so if it dont make sence fuck it

  • na same size tires as stock....lol

  • he probably thought that the rev limiter was a 2 step launch control

  • wait ago doin that without even having gas in the car ur a genious and its still a brand new car

  • Nice video you ding dong. Why don't you run low oil pressure too? I hear that's great for the v-tec motors. If you're gonna post a video make it worth watching.

  • ur runnin on fumes :P

  • Your 0-60 was like 8 seconds! LOL

  • dude, you suck, I hope you retighten the whole engine

  • Get some gas

  • Put the camera down and learn how to drive

  • dud u can drive a stick worth for #*%$

  • whts the green light?nd wht does it means?

  • Wow, electronic MPH readout = Prius. That's a no-no for an Si. I did enjoy listening to that baby once you dropped gears. :)

  • electronic MPH readout = MoTeC. google it.

  • tripleskate-

    It's called heads up driving. The corvette and a cadillac have it too. I have an Si and it's nice not having to look down everytime to see the MPH. Also this guy is not a great driver. Maybe because he has a camera in his hands. "Dropping the gears" from 6th to 2nd is not a smart move. That never happens in racing. Maybe you can skip a gear when downshifting, but not four. Thanks.

  • get some gas. haha

  • SHIFTO MISSEN !!!!!!!!

  • whoops wrong vid

  • i love honda civics. ever since i could play my first racing game, when i was like 8. MARIO KART!!! i love the new SI coupe im getting my lisence next year and hoping to get one in white for my first car. whats the name of this song?

  • 0-60 is 6.7 secs

    not 8 seconds....dumbass

  • I got a 2007 coupe manual in sept. i love it. but yeah i wish i had enough for the SI

  • 8 sec 0-60 seems to be what I've seen.. kinda shitty for 200hp lack of torque.. I've got a base 4psi supercharger on my automatic tiburon and I'm getting to 60 in 6 seconds

  • Tiburon is a turd in comparision. And I doubt you even run that even with a supercharger.

  • 8 sec?? 0-60 mph??
