Hey guys, I've been lurking around on this forum for a little while but decided to register since I just bought my first Honda Civic. I bought a '94 Honda Civic EX Coupe with 180k miles and paid only $2000 so I think I got a good deal. The previous owner put a new timing belt on, plugs and plug wires, new set of tires and recent paint job (a little rough in a few little places but for $2000, I can live with it) I'll take some pics tomorrow and post em up and share them with you guys. I also work at a car dealer as a detailer so I plan on doing some mods since I'm back in the shop. What are some good first things to do? I was thinking on an AEM Short Ram Intake. Thanks for the ton of info I've gained from this site already and I look forward to getting to know everyone as time goes on!

 

First thing you should do is decide on what you want your car for. DD, 1/4 mile, autox, ect.

yup. I always like to start with the suspension first but thats just me.

 

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that. I'll use it as my daily driver but I'd like to find some good, practical ways to add hp and torque. I'm probably not going to get too outrageous with it, but I'd like it to run pretty well and be fun to drive. I know this will probably come off as a noob question, but I was reading around online and noticed that my car is pretty much the US version of the Canadian Si ( I believe, if not, dont flame me too hard) so would it be a complete sin to put Si badges on my car?

 

Im not 100% sure but i thought the Canadian Si were like our ek ex's not eg's. but im not sure. anyways if you just looking for a fun daily driver i would start with suspension then swap a LS or a B20 with a b16 tranny snice they're pretty cheap.

 

Swap a y76
