Default 2003 Honda Civic Si Hatch

I had this car for at least 6 months already and im finally deciding to put work into it. Everything is stock so far and im kindof new to hooking cars up. What should i modify first to make it faster?

dont! save your money for turbo or something these motors suck with just bolt ons. you need a real vtec head from a k20a2 or k20z1.

what hes saying is your engine, the k20a3, is the weakest of the k motors. with just bolt ons, you wont really get much power out of it. What you should do first is assess what you want from your car?

looks? handling? speed? figure this out first and then you can get a better answer.

Ok until you do some searching... I'm closing this thread.


Lots of great information about where to start modifying your car.

We all know the basics ie: CAI Intake, Race header, catback exhaust, tuned kpro, etc.

Start there.. Use the forums wisely to ask specific questions
