What does all the things you listed (except "Under The Hood") have to do with engine mods? Just extra stuff for people to sift through, might as well get rid of them as they're redundant and unimportant.

So you don't want to swap, and you don't want to boost.

So uhh...what's your budget?

Get yourself a nice suspension set-up with front and rear sway bars. A powerful car without suspension ain't going no where fast.

Then when you have enough money work on the engine.

That's my $0.02.

wow use the search button. Here is a link from the Prelude section on N/A. The parts he may talk about are different than the Civic parts but the Idea stays the same. enjoy https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=180883

No they don't. A 2.2L DOHC responds a lot better to bolt-ons than a 1.6L SOHC.

I think he was leaning more towards performance and not looks at this moment.

i dont know what models you have but find a hydro trans from a 1.6l vtec, the engines are a z6 or y8 in the us! the trans has shorter gearing and will help out... d15b trannys are similar also!

doesn't sound like he wants to rebuild his engine completely, so bolt-ons is his only way.
