[number1streetracer]

[wendyakaagony]

[motoman416]

[il0veloti0n]

[Bjrec]

FUCK YES! im getting this exact car in black in 13 days!

[circusboy44]

six days by dj shadow

[amelh8]

what's the name of the song playing at 0:29 ??

[iky112002]

haha this vid was kinna homo lmao

but yeah now what you need to spend money on is some work xd9's and some coilovers so you dont look like a rally car and so you dont have knock off wheels...cool car i got the same one mayne

[PeteLinton876]

What kind of tires are those? like what brand?

[otterlakerules]

Seems like the BF-goodrich G-Force

[Th3wh1t3kn1ght]

what song is that?

[jwdkse]

six days- dj shadow ft mos def

[Th3wh1t3kn1ght]

sweet thx

[iiiFrederickiii]

Did u sell the stock wheels?

[knightbball2011]

the rims u put on it look dumb! Si stock rims look better

[WorldFamousSilk]

i completely agree... that's why i rock these wheels the first two weeks of the month and the stock si wheels the second half of the month!

[tubegangsta]

LOL are those rims Kosei K1's? They weigh nothing.

[aimxless]

@WorldFamousSilk so you swap them every half a month?

sell the wheels and get some new ones :)

[srsairbags]

screw . . the rims re nice . . . . . much better than the stock . . or maybe you should have gotten the HFPs . . 18s

[XXXaccordXXX]

sick car. if you were to chew ur gum like that and talk to me in person, Id punch you in the face.

[WorldFamousSilk]

that is the funniest comment i've ever read! i threaten people all the time with "i'll punch you in the face!" touche!!!

[XXXaccordXXX]

srry but it really bugs me when people talk with gum in their mouth.

[alxreverb120]

why didnt u get it in red?

[balidemaj123]

lmao how light are those wheels u picked them up like nothing.. good touch to the car

[926531]

i want one :\

[brownmonkey240]

Good choice in car though I'm not a huge fan of the wheels though, but that's just my opinion. I just bought a white si sedan, and yes the shifting is beautiful. Shame we dont get the Type R here though =(

[D0mEnz0]

How much the car cost u ?

[miketothesupra]

wats the best size do you think is good for si ? because im thinkin about buyin one and getting some nice rims but i need a good size for it

[WorldFamousSilk]

up to you my friend, it really depends what type of ride you want: looks over performance or vice versa. i have an s2000 with work s2r's and i will never buy heavier wheels than the stocks EVER again.

[miketothesupra]

i was thinkin of getting a civic si like 2006or 2007. either red or blue.. hows car run

[WorldFamousSilk]

those cars are pretty much all 8th gen aren't they? i think you would be fine with either one. but the resale on these are so good you might as well buy a new one.

[BigJon930]

i found an 08 honda civic si with 8k miles on it and the dealer wants 18k for it. it's in excellent condition too.

[dotkristian]

...All Civics from 06-present are 8th gen.

[tubegangsta]

I'm curious as to why you got an Si while you already had an S2k sitting in your garage. I've heard that they make bad daily drivers, is that why you got the si? I was also interested at the time with the S2000, and thought I could get a bmw with the same price and got an Si instead.

[dablohmcrew]

um i think 17 inches cause the 18 might feel a lil tight on the car so i think 17

[miketothesupra]

yea i agree on that

[tubegangsta]

I have an '08 si, and I went with 17'' rims. I used my stock tires on those and they fit with no problem, and I used my stock rims for my Nokian winters :). Don't waste good tires bro.

[catfishpet]

yo wuts that song called thats playin

[WorldFamousSilk]

song: six days

artist: dj shadow & mos def

[rockingdrifter17]

nice car.

my dad is getting the sedan in that same color

[WorldFamousSilk]

congrats bro! you have the coolest dad on the planet!  make sure you take care of that car!

[rockingdrifter17]

o i will

dont worry about that :-)

[genesis46le]

Japan

[trickpat777]

Are the Si's made in Canada? I just guessed.

[WorldFamousSilk]

that i am not sure about. i hear that from time to time. it might just be the final assembly point for North America.

[Smokyo7]

This video's gay but my Si is hot as well.

[WorldFamousSilk]

you're si is hot, but you're gay! just kidding. unless you really are than i'm sorry about that.

don't be a hater son.

[Deathsassaliant]

Doesnt this car come in auto? since im barly getting my permit and i want this to be my first car since the gas prices are up as hell right now and i also have a niece and ill need to be doing a lot of driving -_-

[WorldFamousSilk]

this car (civic si) does not come in automatic. but all other civics do. learn how to drive a stick. you'll love it! good luck.

[Gerrard1288]

Got minez in the january 1st 2008 between christmas and my birthday being on the next day love it, im 6'2 but damn is it comfortable and its a FBP(Fiji Blue Pearl)too. I love it man, it was my first car too. I do look at other cars but wouldn't trade it for a thing. Good luck wit the car man (from one owner to another)

[agentgordon27]

Those rims weigh 16lbs each, and they're kosei, not kazera. Also they're midrange. The other rims that compare in weight cost about double the price of these. I like the look of other rims too, but they weigh the same or more than stock. I was looking for weight reduction.

[k00lball3r]

he got kazera rims. cheap 1's

[WorldFamousSilk]

who got those wheels?

[WorldFamousSilk]

Those rims weigh 16lbs each, and they're kosei, not kazera. Also they're midrange. The other rims that compare in weight cost about double the price of these. I like the look of other rims too, but they weigh the same or more than stock. I was looking for weight reduction.

[slapshot4aero]

Nice ride,but I would of opted for 5 star spokes,just a preference thing.

[smokin023]

i know i heard about the 3rd gear problem, but i would still get it :)

[LukeSkywalker71291]

that was a really cool video!

dude, i just bought an si. its soooo god damn fun.

can you tell me where u got those rims? i need to get myself a set.

thanks man, civic SIs are literally the best deal ever.

[WorldFamousSilk]

he got the wheels on tirerack!

congrats on your Si! if i had to get a 4 seater i would pimp an Si in a heartbeat. but i got the s2000 =)

[rjkahlon]

Thats the Honda Civic. They look fucking awesome now

[powerkerb]

what happened to the stock car? did you swap it with the stock or kept the stock and bought that after market wheels? im getting a habanero red this week and I want a diff wheel too.

[powerkerb]

sorry let me rephrase: what happened to the stock wheels? did you swap it with the new ones or kept the stock and bought that after market wheels? im getting a habanero red this week and I want a diff wheel too.

[WorldFamousSilk]

i drove my truck when dan bought the car so we threw the stock wheels in the back of my truck. it was sweet brother, the car didn't have more than 5 miles on it when we switched out the wheels. now if you do the same thing, make sure you get it on video so the whole world can see!

good luck/congrats on your haby red!

[civicqvist]

i love the si's i drove one when i worked at honda as a car washer. i pissed myself i liked it so much. but i wouldnt pay 28 thousand for a civic tho. i bought a dx last month

[odalV]

lets all enjoy the 3th gear problems 2gether;))

[diegontoya1]

those gadgets are mostly for showing off, they don't really kick in that much on the street when it comes to performance....but it does make the car look good...liked the tires by the way.

[darbels]

i love the coupe in that color

[Ghetto2315]

Just bought my 08 Si Coupe in Galaxy Grey last week. Good luck with yours

[WorldFamousSilk]

same to you brother! Si's unite!

[opivyapathy]

Man I want mine already!!! I ordered a Rallye Red Si Coupe 1 week ago and it hasn't been delivered yet!

Si's unite man, we should make a club or something.

By the way have you had any 3rd gear problems ? I hope mine doesn't have any.

[Seth6Strummer]

Great vid

[gibbletz]

Get the HFP kit and suspension for it.

[koukiR32]

looks like u need to lower it thou. Btw, those Kosei wheels looks hot!  But why choose BFG for tires? Should get Bridgestone RE-01R much better grip and performance than the KDW

[rowsdower12]

Nice video. Love the song. I would love to test drive an Si. I just want to hear that engine scream! Vtak yo! LOL!

To be honest not my style of car (design wise) but performance is nice.

Nice tires!

[tee719]

another proud owner of a beautiful car...From one owner to another...HELL YEAH.....go HIT TeC man haha.

[gowdaflow]

1:56: "looks gud! ha ha"

lol..I feel you mang, reminds me of when I bought mine back in Jan last year..

[sourpuss112233]

how much was ur civic??

[southernman516]

awsome shoes on the car. they are really cool. i have something similar to that on my mercedes. but just in a very dark black. but that is a really cool car. i might give up my mercedes clk500 just to get the civic Si. the civics are just so cool. and i could probly pay it off in less than 2 years compared to 7 or 6 years with my benz. but anyway really sick car.

[ilanier3]

dang!! I wanna new Civic! nice car tho!

[stevewesthead]

what color are those k1-tss?

[stevewesthead]

and what tires do you have on them? please reply

[rastaman]

nice car am planing to buy civic si feb 20 2008

[cqdx99]

I got my Si sedan in June of 07. Same color. I've already got 17,000 miles on it. The new shoes look great! How is it in the snow?

[mhsRocker]

you hav no idea how much i envy u, im bout to buy my first car and i want one in habenaro red

[streetracingforever]

i get to buy one 2010 iknow why not this year but i made a deal with my parents so i cant get one for 2 years

[NitroRoo]

Very cool video. Makes me want to go buy one :-) One of my best friends had a 99 and I loved driving that thing.

[bulit184]

sexy ass car bro. congrats on the purchase and im loving the rims.

[stevewesthead]

those wheels are SICK!!

[jatotraxxas]

that is a cool looking civic. I didn't like the color before the wheels but with those wheels it looks awesome

[Endosmoke247]

I got my 08 si a little over a month ago and i can't stop lovin it. My first car was a 87 prelude si, the si's have come a long way for sure.

[glaxglax]

I'm going to test-drive one this Thursday, I'm so psyched about it, looks like a great car.

[WorldFamousSilk]

good luck bro! it's a great car at that price point. nothing compares.

[Neilram200183]

good combo on the color and the wheels... curious... what kinda rims are those anyway??? I like the dark color. :-)

[WorldFamousSilk]

thanks bro! the answer to your question: Kosei K1 TS 18X7.5"

[Ason426]

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?

[WorldFamousSilk]

song: six days

artist: dj shadow & mos def

all my videos have the song and title listed in the info box to the right ;)

good luck on your license. make sure you study!

[gtvapsamtik]

those 08 CIVIC SI are awesome, Gratz

[Blood915]

LUCKY

[LiLTMac123]

beautiful car!!!!!!!!!!!!! nice purchase congrats dude

[WorldFamousSilk]

thanks bro! that's my boy's si, he just got his turbo charger on there. video soon to come.

that blue S2000 is mine ;)

[xxtrustxx]

Honda Civic Si is a very nice car, nice wheels. I own a 2006 Type S.

[8Renovatio8]

Congrats on your purchase :)

[agentgordon27]

It's ALOMOST done in the shop bro! GReddy was back ordered on the the injectors so we're waiting on them before it gets dyno tuned with the turbo.

[FordMustangV62000]

dude thats a NASTY Si. Congrats on it!

[WorldFamousSilk]

thank ya! i'll pass it along to the owner!

[XXXavin]

calm down its a honda

[FlexHardcastle]

good purchase champ. got one myself. no complaints...have fun there boss!

[SilverPyro87]

hey dude sweet rims, so glad you didn't got with chrome, what rims were they btw?

[agentgordon27]

Kosei 18's, I'm pretty sure there's more info down the list o' comments

[coandcaiv]

awesome Si man, definately cooler then a cobalt SS. honda's awesome at squeezing hp outta their 4 cylinders. i bet that slick 6 speed is so damn fun with that high revving =) enjoy the car.

[DTNguyen107]

Awesome rims. 5 stars for you!

[agentgordon27]

It's all low key man, if you think something looks nice, chances are it's an eye catcher. I thought about the red on white motif, but again, those sick styles jump out at EEVERYONE. Including cops. the gray blends with the road and other cars. Looow key

[carloagsalon12]

hey dude watsup!! i got an si too its an 06 si. You've could have got the blue one and put black rims on it...coz thats what i have..and it looks sick...with your car color and the rims matching...i dnt see any style on yours..but it looks nice....im gonna be video tapig my car too ..i just need to buy me a new camcorder...

[WorldFamousSilk]

style is choice brother. blue and black is sick. if i got the same thing than i would not be original. you do you, and i'll do me. but i appreciate the comments and can't wait to see videos of you.

[whitetrashbiotch]

stfu ho

[Disasterpiece111]

You should of got the HFPs..

[agentgordon27]

I disagree

[WorldFamousSilk]

have you done your research. with the price of the hfp's you are not getting your money's worth. SHITs WEAK!

[Georgenfla]

Actually, Im just messing with Dan. His car is damn nice, but the wheels do strongly resemble the Tc wheels, not that there's anything wrong with Tc wheels. The Honda Civic Si is a bad-ass little hotrod. Anytime somebody can produce 100 horsey per 1000cc is bad-ass!!! ...hense the Toyota GTS/XRS (1.8L=180horse).

[bobthemailman777]

Georgenfla, I see how you saw Honda took the Tc's body style...kinda. I'm not sayin Toyota sucks but the Civic Si looks a hell of a lot better than the Tc. The Tc looks like real small and the Si just looks freakin clean as hell. I'm tryin to get me one. And Famous, that car is clean!

[WorldFamousSilk]

thanks bobthemailman!

[Georgenfla]

Wow, you bought Scion Tc wheels, good choice. But, why didn't you just buy a Scion in the first place? Your Civic does look like a Tc. Its amazing how Honda copied Toyota again. Good luck with your honda, you'll need it. I hope you dont burn your arm trying to change the oil filter.

[agentgordon27]

First off, was the Tc the first one to EVER have that twelve spoke design? Cause I'm pretty sure that wasn't a Tc original. Second, if I bought a Tc then you would have been like "Sweet ride... I'm a douche!" and Honda people would have said "Shoulda bot da si yo." so what ever.

[number8four]

nice car. how much did you pay em to put on those rims? lol. do it yourself man.

[WorldFamousSilk]

i made them do it for free. i've bought 3 s2000's from them. so they wouldn't dare charge my boy to put wheels on!

[jeff2417]

got mine in June. I love it! Know how you feel!

[f00kumofo123]

I think civics just look ugly. I like the digital speedo thou.

[riffplayer88]

i have the same car, the rims look good. i still cant decide what looks best

[UnfocusedAnakin]

looks like this is from Burt Kuni Honda in Denver right?

I bought their first Si in 06, I belive they drileed your front bumper for that dealer plate bud, I'm sorry.

[WorldFamousSilk]

did they do the same to yours?

i got that blue s2000 from them also. they didn't dare touch that baby.

[nightowl950]

What kinda wheels are those man? Look sick with the GG color. Great choice

[agentgordon27]

They're Kosei K1 TS 18X7.5" They only weigh 16lbs each too, I've heard from a somewhat reliable source the stock wheels weigh 23.5lbs.

[dknight7]

Congrats on the car Bro. Looks great. I pick up My 07 Si next week in white and I cant wait.

Those shoes look sick with that colour too : )

[phatdrifter]

nice si so as the s2k i like mines i think imma gonna get an si now too.

[Hardedge25]

When I first saw those wheels I didn't like them but they actually look pretty good on the car. I'm gonna get a Civic Si Sedan at the end of '08 provided that nothing about the car changes for the worse. I just can't decide between habanero red pearl or nighthawk black pearl. Oh well, I have time. Congrats man!

[agentgordon27]

Get the Mugen!

[WorldFamousSilk]

the mugen si is sick! silk has an s2000.

this post brought to you by the letter "S"

[Hardedge25]

I had heard that Honda was going to offer a Mugen Si in the United States but it's not on Honda's website. Is it not coming until '08?

[WorldFamousSilk]

look at the honda website again. it's under the future vehicles & concepts BUTTON.

[Hardedge25]

Very cool, but sadly I won't be able to afford one. In fact, I'm waiting until the end of '08 because I need to save money for the next 18 months just so I can make a huge down payment. There's no way that I can get a loan big enough to buy one now so I'll get one once I can cover half the cost of the car. And anyway, if I modified it in the future it would only be with Mugen parts.

[WorldFamousSilk]

sounds cool, good luck to you bro. you gotta post videos of it when you get it.

[swtendo]

sweet vid man and wen u got those new rims it looked sikkk but 1 question man see i have a 04 C230 kompressor and i want one of these though i love my car..how does this car drive? and for like performance? cause im wondering if i should go from a merc to a honda or even maybe a mazdaspeed 3 but idk and do u know if honda provides extra upgrades like exhaust, intakes? thnx

[agentgordon27]

I know there is the HFP package with the Si, it's kinda steep and I didn't really want some of the upgrades. I wanted to put more into under the hood. I think HFP includes 17 or 18" HFP wheels, stiffer suspension (although its already damn good), the full front/side/rear spoiler, and I think a muffler replacement? I saw a video on youtube of them installing all the stuff. search HFP install, it shows up as podcast #13 or something.

[JimG0071986]

so you baught a BRAND NEW car and thashed it BEFORE running it in? that car will die before its time man. other than that good stuff!

.

[agentgordon27]

thashed? I'm not privy on other than American english slang.

[44heat]

thats the car im getting im 13 i was gonna get the sedan but i like the coupe better and yo the maker of this video you should put a full body kit on that coupe

[Surfdawg06]

Congrats on your new car Dan! Go Army, so easy a caveman can do it!

[gambit2412]

Nice Car! I want one very bad but I doubt I would be able to get an SI because of insurance. I would probably go with an EX but SI if I could. But congratz on the ride and take care of her. Oh by the way whats the song?

[WorldFamousSilk]

how old are you bro? your insurance might not be that bad if you tweak it a little. like a thousand dollar deductable and what not. call up a dealer and get the VIN so you can get an exact quote fron an insurance agent.

six days (remix) by dj shadow and mos def

all my songs are written in the description on the side.

[WorldFamousSilk]

dude i saw your profile. it says you're 25, you should be able to afford the insurance just fine unless you have a horrible driving record. dan is 22. my roommate has an s2000 just like i do and he is 23.

[gambit2412]

Hah yeah I need to go into all that stuff but see nah thats not really my age. I'm 15 but my dad used to do a lot of racing and he taught me how to drive sticks early at about 12. But yeah thanks for the advice.

[heatonmyfeet]

sup man nice si...i got an 06 same color...i see u put 18s...haha i got 19 inch falken....haha

[ptazz12]

19 FTW now that's big pimpin! do you have any videos of it?

[heatonmyfeet]

yah i do...go to my videos

[WorldFamousSilk]

damn son, i didn't even know 19's would fit on that car until i saw your video. your wheels looked more expensive than Dan's.

congrats on your whip heatonmyfeet!

[heatonmyfeet]

thnx....yah those are falkens with falken z-rated tires...haha i think it was like 2100 for everything

[matrixey22]

too bad my car eats civics for breakfast and then asks for seconds.

[WorldFamousSilk]

you can't be happy for someone. no one attacked you or said anything about your car or anyone elses. so stfu and let him enjoy his brand new car. FUCK.

[matrixey22]

He should buy something with some balls next time, you probably drive one of these.

[WorldFamousSilk]

i have an s2000. does it matter what he spends his money on. dude no one here gives a fuck what you drive. i don't give a fuck if it is a ferrari, you have no fucking manners.

[MajicTrix527]

I agree...He should buy your Mom...

[agentgordon27]

I see your from Canada, makes me hope the half Canadian I am isn't from the same place you are.

[psqueeze]

Love It, Congratulations!!!! Great Video.

P-Squeezer

[ptazz12]

great video silk! congrats dan.

[hyperluv]

Nice touch with the predelivery footage. The wheels are cool.

[giggleliz012]

great vid! i love the shot in the beginning when the car is being inspected. and at the end when you're filming from your car when dan is driving his. good job, there's a nice mix of everything.

[agentgordon27]

Damn, thanks for leaving the ass face in there.

[WorldFamousSilk]

you're welcome ASSFACE!

[giggleliz012]

hey dan, congrats on the new car! have you named it yet?

[agentgordon27]

Sian, means "God's gracious gift" from a welsh decent.
