i just bought a '00 civic, 1.6l sohc. i know that there are a lot of mods for this car, but im not really sure where to start. i dont really know a whole lot about it either. ive done a little bit of research, but still need help. any advice would be greatly appreaciated.

 

congrats with your purcahse, first thing you got to think about it is..
what you want to do with your car?
Street or Track "drag or Autox"
What concerns you most, performance vs handling vs appeal

 

suspension first

edit: and do it right, dont half *** your suspension.

 

get a muffler and altezzas
thats the first thing mod we did.

 

i want it for the street

 

so it's gonna be a daily driver....

actually if you want a good reliable car dont half *** anything. you might as well spend a little more in the beggining than alot more in the end.

 

With the motor, if you're not planning on a swap, don't make the same mistake I made when i first bought my car, don't waste your money on small things as far as intakes and headers, etc. b/c it won't make much of a difference. I just boosted my 00 EX and I'm loving it.

 

definately suspension.

koni and ground control make a combo that works very nice together and its probably one of the best setups around.

if you want a lot of speed, get a turbokit or something. greddy makes a nice bolt on kit.
