what are you goals as to improvments? even with exhaust, headers, and intake, it won't do much. adds maybe 8 hours power at the most. not worth it.

headers
exhaust
intake
mild camshaft
aem lighweight pulleys
unorthodox crank pulley
light weight 15 inch wheel
short shifter
lower the car 2 inches
rear sway bar
front and rear upper strut bar
rear lower tie bar
go to a track and attend a driving school
major improvement rather than going for a $WAP.

Doing a mini-me swap with header and intake will net you around 15-20 whp. After that, your only option for more power is a turbo kit, rendering the header and intake useless.

You need to search and read the stickies.
And lay the hell off the caps-lock key.

as far as swapping goes you need to see what it is you are looking for in the swap. some people like the higher revs of the b16, others like the bigger b18. do some research and find whats best for you....

I have to disagree that a short shifter is worthless. I have had mine for awhile, and it makes shifting a lot better. You have to admit, the throw in a Civic is outrageously long. Every time I went into fifth, I hit my passenger's knee!

Think what you'd like. Short shifters don't do anything good.

Sometimes I almost wonder if its even worth it to respond to a thread like this.
Get a turbo kit or a swap.
