I want to upgrade my 84 Civic
Exterior doesn't matter to me, the car's in great shape.
What I want to know is what to do to it to make it faster, and the best way to do it.
I drive a 2004 Audi A4 1.8T now, but the insurance is a bitch, so I'm taking the 84 Civic I inherited from my grandpa. That being said, I have to admit my knowledge of cars if fairly limited. I know in my Audi I wanted to get a stage one ECU chip upgrade, but I don't know if I should put a turbo in the civic, a supercharger in it, or either. I just want to get the HP up a bit, and I don't care how big my rims are, or about the wing, and it doesn't need to be loud. I just need to know how to make this bitch faster. Help me out?

Re: I want to upgrade my 84 Civic
There isn't much to do with that to get it even close to the audi but you can try a bit...
A free flowing exhaust system would help along with a header and adjust the timing slightly advanced.
If you change the tires to a smaller diameter it would give you better acceleration off the line but you would lose top speed.
Go to red pepper racing . com they have all the info you need.
cheers
