My 8th gen Civic Si at the drag strip. 8,000+ RPM K20 + 6 speed manual, such a fun car!

Nice shifting dude

Thanks, I was surprised 2nd didn't lock out

Yea Honda and their second gears seem to have issues. I have a 10th gen and there’s some grindy shifts into 2nd somewhat often.
2
I hate that that exists basically in all of them. Like, fix your shit honda smh. Hopefully the 11th gen is better but i have my doubts
3
Not too sure if the 10th gens have clutch delay valves, but my TSX and my 13 accord did and I removed it. No more notchy shifts and goes in like butter!
Also gm synchromesh friction modified trans fluid makes a good difference
3
I’ve heard people talking about that mod so it’s definitely something I need to look into.

8th Gen SIs are probably my favorite Gen

You got the holy grail shift knob. Acuity said they were releasing a V.2 of it in August...2020.

Damn didn't even knew they discontinued it, I got it with the 8th Gen shift kit they offered. Pretty slippery knob but it looks so sick

I'm looking for a new shift knob, do you have any details on what this is?? Thank you in advance.

It’s the Acuity insulated ESCO shift knob. They still make the ESCO but not the white one which is supposedly, or is rather, duracon, so it doesn’t get hot or cold. I have it also, it’s a nice shift knob, not weighted so it won’t hide any slop in the shifter. Ive busted my knuckles a few times slipping off of it. It’s the only one I’ve used other than the stock 9th knob so I don’t really know what else is out there. I see them for sale time to time on the 9G civics group on Facebook, usually paired with a short shifter. If you have a 9th too I can’t recommend enough to get the shift boot collar upgrade from Acuity.

Acuity insulated ESCO shift knob
I'll have to look into it. I have a '12 Si, not sure what gen it is.

First of the 9th, body style changed in 13 and a slight variation in 15 I think too.

Look into the fastline performance maven countersunk shift knob, I have it on my TSX and I absolutely love it. 400 grams and makes shifts buttery smooth!

Faster than my subaru that's for damn sure

Sticky tires and there's a 13 in there! The drag strip is so fun even if you're not the fastest. Nice run!

Damn dude not bad! Any mods or is it stock? Always wanted to take mine to the strip but haven’t had the time, and I agree with the shifting man great job
3
It has a few mods:
Hybrid racing 3.5 intake
Ktuned 72mm throttle body
Ported RBC intake manifold
Stock unopened K20Z3
PLM Header
Skunk2 3in exhaust
Competition clutch and lightweight flywheel
Street tune on hondata
And a few shifting mods like bushings, detent springs and a short shifter
3
Hell yeah man sounds like a blast! That’s hilarious though I thought it sounded like mine, im running a skunk 2 car back as well, and I’m pretty well sitting where your at minus the flywheel and clutch which are getting done soon, that and headers, regardless man bad ass car, hope your loving it as much as I do mine
2
Nice man what clutch you went with?
2
To tell you the truth haven’t put much research into it, I was looking to find a shop to help find me a clutch a little more aggressive than stock but streetable, that being said I wasn’t going to do the clutch myself, I wish I was that skilled and or had the stuff to do it I should say, as for flywheel though I saw kseries parts had a lot of good not too pricey options

Yes and yes, I dynamatted and carpeted all the doors and floor so whatever weight I saved was negated, also took out rear bench seat. My best run of the day was 14.20

Is that TMP? Looks familiar :)

Yes

Prolly a 13
More like 9
9-teen? Sounds about right.
Forgot a 1
If you’re familiar with 1/4 miles times, then you know it’s a joke. Then again this is Reddit and anything must be marked as /s to save yourself from the flames of internet intellectuals.
Not until he gets that nasty hole in his fuel map fixed.
If I were to run 9s I'd need much more than a fuel table fix lol
Some Honda owners can’t handle the /s 🤷♂️
Well, to begin with, you need to include the /s
Speed on the dash looks like 177.... but that has got to be kph. So that is 110 mph.
Am i wrong by guessing it could be in mid to high 14 secs?
That’s 14.2 pass at 100
