i think you should save up an get a turbo. All those little things you do end up costing as much, and not doing anything, unless you start playing with cams and internals

Bolt-on, bolton is a term that means somthing you can just slap on the engine and makes power. intake, header, exhaust are a few.

Now dubxl152, before you go spending alot of money, what do you want out of the car? like what are your final goals? you should decide what you want out of the car before you start spending money.
if yor looking for a 12 second street driven civic, you need to start saving for an engine swap

if your just looking for a little performance, intake, header, exhaust and maybe a cam will get you by.

see the thing is i want more of a show car thats quick enough to smoke the friday night racer but not cost me an arm and a leg.im more into haveing a clean car that sounds great than a screamer plus i dont think i can do all that much with a d16y8 sohc. so as for boltons anythings appriciated and ive heard a lot about ecu upgrades but i dont know if their worth the mony or no and what the hell is a port and polish.

show cars dont NOT cost you arm and a leg.
show cars dont smoke the friday night racer unless the friday night racer is a showcar.

You know what a fast show car is?....bait, you drive a fast car that attracts attention, and you will never stop worrying about getting your car keyed or stolen.
