Default What I should I do?

I have a 2000 Civic LX/4DR, so far I have CF lights, a GT adjustable wing,a cat converter, muffler,air intake(Short), A new dash(Euro-blue-), mirrors(lighst on the side), and pedals(neon blue when the lights are on). I just need some suggetions on what I should do next, I'm already ordering new headers.

suggestions?...ok...are you going show or go...meaning to do you intend to race it or just show it off...Sounds like you have alot of "ricer" stuff on your car, but to each their own I guess. If you are looking for speed then stop with the neon pedals, and get some decent motor mods. A short ram is a good start, and depending what u get, the headers will be a nice add on to the cat and exhaust...so keep the good **** going, and cut back on the rice and youll be good to go. Just keep in mind...just because they sell it, and it can/will go on your car, doesnt mean you should put it on your car...people will sell anything you will buy, and a lot of people get burned on this site for doing gay mods then asking for opinions...so watch yourself...its one thing to have a clean car, and a complete other thing to have a would be nice car with a bunch of cheap ricey bs on it...good luck...

yea my pos d16 sucks, i was thinking of going to a b16a, but I don't have the money. the pedals was a joke, and i got them for 5 bucks, so I thought I'd atleast use them. God, I wish i could drive my friend's Chevelle all day

Are you goals to beat the chevelle? If so here is what i would do.

Go on ebay and get a short ram intake anyone of the generics will do.
Put that header and intake on.

Go to the a shop and tell them to put a 2 1/4 exhaust on your car. No resonator no bullshit. While your at it punch out the cat. After this is done. Rip out all the rear interior and pull the ac out of the car i mean ac compressor everything. Pull the wing off while your at it...its just extra wait. Now here is option 2 if this sounds to crazy for you.

Just learn to respect the chevy they are cool cars too. And don't rev on it because its going to walk you everytime. You might have a chance if you do all i said. Plus race it on 13 steelies. A stock chevelle at cecil county was only running 15.3 so thats not that hard to beat.

sell everything that you have on the car and replace it with quality parts. Then either turbo the d motor or do a motor swap. I would say the turbo is a better idea because it is faster and cheaper. Also if you blow it up you can get another d for like 300 bucks.
