Default what can i do to my 97 Lx coupe

I have a 97 LX coupe, the exterior is good but nothing is done under the hood should i work with the motor that is in the vheicle now or try for a swap (to run low 14's to mid 13's) pretty sure its a 1.6, i know its a non-v-tech any suggestions??

Ps-I cant find a header <U></U>anywhere<U></U>

You're correct. They didn't make LX coupes until 2001.

you know my suggestion is to get a swap. if you wants to run mid 13s get a b18c5 a type r motor and super charge it. it should get you the time you want! good luck

first of all for the money a k20 swap cost u can build one hell of a b-series.

just look up specs for all b-series online there is a post at the top of the 90-00 Civic / Del Sol page that explains them very good.

i you were gona spend all that money on a h22 or a k20 i would go with a b18c and put the money left over to boost it
