I have a 94 civic hatch and I want to start working on it only I don't really know what order I should do things performance wise. I already replaced the stock intake with an aftermarket intake. What order should I do things?

1-security
2-suspension and shoes...
3-swap

swap it in for a GSR and boost it

yeah well I wanted to go with performance first but I wasn't sure if keeping the stock engine and upgrading was worth it compared to swapping engines out. On top of that I found a complete coilover kit locally for $300 so that's definately the first on my list but afterwards I should just go with a swap? BTW I don't plan on getting a turbo.

do your suspension first.... one piece coilovers are the way to go. then save up for a swap. dont buy hid's or lips or carbon fiber hood or anything like that its only gonna side track you... im speaking from experience... plus I think sleeper style is the best!!

keepping it low key is a good idea, especially until you get a GOOD alarm and stealth instal. Do a search on "stolen" and see what comes up. There's amost one stolen honda thread posted every other day. Just speeking from experience, my security is going to include a night vision servailence camera(s). I live in a "nice" area of Orange County Ca and since Dec.28 I've had 2 maybe 3 attemps on my ride. I had my hood popped twice and I think someone tried to pop my window. If you plan on keeping your ride, you really need to look into a good alarm, GPS, LoJack, and anything else that someone might suggest.

You're getting the suspension, then get some tires. Drive the car hard. Learn how it handles, then bump the HP.

Good luck

i'm with him. i've had 3 cars stolen in the past 4 months. two of which i got back in semi decent condition, the other was found at the bottom of the sac. river...i had appointments the very next day for all three cars to get allarms put on them but someone got to 'em before i was able to get my car to a shop...the next car i bought i put the allarm in myself and that very night i had a break in attempt that was followed by me running after him and chasing him down and getting him arrested....security first then comes the fun. if you want to keep your ride, make sure you have protection

I would go with suspension first because its cheaper than power and makes a big difference for a car
