Re: Slow civic (FastxCivic)
If you don't have the money for a Full swap(B18C engine) just see if you can find yourself a sohc v-tec head off of a 92-95 ex. Then you can do your basic bolt-ons intake/header/exhaust - that should give you a little bit more pep without the $3800 swap from a GSR.

Tell the fat chick your riding with to get out and help by pushing. 
J/K.
Just do the proper maintainance on the car and you shouldn't run into that problem. (Unless she is absolutely huge).

Re: Slow civic (Impact23)
Basically, civic(stock), fast and uphill shouldn't even belong in the same sentence. You could either go FI or drop a b series engine in it like I did. Trust me, my little clamshell can scoot her azz up hills.

Re: Slow civic (maxim_force)
but my cousin had some work done for me. the exhaust was changed so was the air intake and the headers. Like I said it picks up well on straight road but if on hill or grade it slows down considerably

Re: Slow civic (lou's honda)
FI= Forced Induction
B - Series = B16/B17/B18 or B20
B series are the twincam motors, Integ/Sol/Crv/Civic Si...Some are even VTEC (Except CRV/LS Integra), but you can even make those VTEC. Get it?
Does that help, they are pretty fast motors when put into civics/crx.
Buy 2 and give me one, you will be happy.
