I have a 02 Civic Coupe LX 1.7 ULEV, and I really want to add some juice to it. I can't buy a Turbo Kit and an engine upgrade is out of the Question. I really like the body style especially with the new Body kit and Wheels I put on it. It looks real clean so I want to keep the ride, just want it QUICKER. Any suggestions

 

you should have gotten a turbo kit instead of the wheels and bodykit, IMO

 

motor swap if you have the money. that engine isnt a good platform for power. look at a B16A or B18C1. there arent alot of parts for your engine, but there is a shitload of parts for the 2 i mentioned. find a good shop in your area and talk to them.

also, you wont get alot of love around here with your bodykit. most people on this board (including me) are very anit-body kit. just warning you.

 

Well, the Body Kit was a gimme. I did not pay anything for it and it was even painted Nighthawk Black like the rest of the car. I got 4 Brand New 17's for $248 and could not have passed up the deal.

 

Thanks for your advice. I got the body kit installed for free. Nothing to major either, a cleaner look. I would never spring for that, it was given to me. Sorry if I offended anyone. Thanks again for the advice!

 

What type of Engine do I have? D-17?

 

D-16
