first you can turn off your caps.

Then get your car, and how much you have left to spend, and advice will be given

Leave it alone, unless of course you want a money pit.


Once you start this hobby, its very difficult to stop.


Peice of advice.

agreed.

Cold Air Intake will give you a little, Catback exhaust will give you a little, headers will give you a little too. the "performance chip" is generally crap. Have it tuned right or leave it alone.

engine/trans swap or turbo will help a lot.
better tires will help a lot too.

it really depends on how much $$ you want to throw at it.

and if you're really getting one... https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1400739

read the rules.. this violates the forum rules...

but anyway, if u want to make power... swap it or turbo,.. thats your best bang for your buck

my preference would be suspension first. but have fun is the main thing

wow dude.... BAN

read the goddamn forum rules

the first thing you should do to your civic is research. cause sounds like you have no ******* clue what your doing.

look on the top right of the page... see the "Search" link. Search for all those things you wanted to do to your civic, read the posts people have made, and then make your choices.

I did that and then chose turbo swap

I will tell you EXACTLY what you need to do to your car that will make it FAST and HANDLE WELL, and it will only cost $250. You want to know how? Post pics of the hottest girl in your high school and I will tell you.

I love them high school girls, I get older, they stay the same age...
