sell the system, are u deaf?? u need big speakers to hear?? or u like showing off that saweet rattling trunk noise to everyone???
DONT ever try and make that car fast.... it would take sooooooo long to make it even remotely quick. jus chill out w/ it and save up money to get somethin more upgradable OR sell it and get a 92-95 MANUAL tranny..... IMO

I went through it....my parents bought me a 98 lx 4 door automatic back in the day. They wanted me to "concentrate on driving, not shifting". I screwed around with it a lil bit, but it sucked. So i got rid of it. Automatic cars blow. They make the car much slower and also you have no control over the thing. Ever try passin somebody? cant downshift and go. So my advice is stop puttin money into it and put it up for sale. as ^ said get a 92-95 with a manual tranny. faster, lighter and more options.

you're an idiot. those type of statements dont better threads..you could of left the first part out of that post and it would of better than trying to post unfunny sarcastic 'wit'
if you are interested in making your car better then read, research, search H-T and most importantly take your time and save your money, you can still be fast and have 18's and a speakers in your car although most honda tuners opt not to do those two things

Re: (SicilianSpeed42)
nobody buys automatics in UK, ive never even seen a automatic civic before 
o and get smaller wheels, putting 18 inch wheels on your car makes a big difference when accelerating.

This is awesome.
My dad took me to 'take a look' at my first car..... he threw me the keys and said, 'I'll see you at home'... needless to say, I learned how to drive a stick real fast.
