I'm just trying to get some feed back on what you would do if you have a 99 civic hatchback ( something other than a motor swap). So please give me some feedback. Something along the lines of performance or rims exc...

suspension..

The first thing I did with my hatch was buy an exhaust, but in retrospect I think I would have been happier with a nice set of coilovers instead.

Drop it.

Intake...even just an ebay cheapo. Gotta love the sound that hondas make with a free flowing intake. After that...get some Ground Controls and some strut bars. You'll be happy with that for a month or two. Thats how I did it. And if you want a cheap exhaust to flow...get a test pipe, ITR B-pipe, and ITR muffler...that should cost you maybe $150-200. If you're really good...you can pick up a d-series header for $20-30 used.

My Initial Price List:
Intake...Free ($25 if bought)
GSR Throttle Body...$40
Header...$20
Test Pipe...Free ($35 if bought)
ITR Cat Back...$100
Ground Control Coilovers...$260 shipped
F/R No-Name Strut Bars...$20

Total...$500

And like someone said above...get an alarm. Within a week of me having my car...someone broke into it and stole my deck and intake.

But yeah...you should have for for a little while on this. Mainly if you go Touge...you'll have fun cause of the suspension...even though it's very basic...it will corner a lot better than stock.

alarm, suspension, nice 15's wheels, then i/h/e. imo anyway.

Just like I said in the other thread, do whatever the hell you want. You're dishing out the money so get whatever it is your little heart desires.
