What are some cool but cheap mods i could do to my riced-out 91 LX sedan civic?

And yes I know. I will get rid of the rice

 

I'm selling a bunch of stuff I still have left from my Civic. Cheaper than buying new...

 

could you email me with the stuff you still have that will work on a sedan?

 

Rear strut bar would fit a Sedan, none of the other stuff will though, well not completely.

 

how much for the rear bar? what do u mean by not completely?

 

Rear discs will fit a sedan but you will need other stuff to make them work, so therefore they fit but not completely. The other stuff in no way bolts to a sedan.

 

ok let me let me talk to my dad tomarow about the rear bar. it's leagly his car.

 

cut the springs and put some panty hose on your stock intake arm yO!

why can't you answer the kid's question? i think everyone is catching this ******* disease on h-t for some reason.

anyways man, pick up a cold air intake, maybe an exhaust. get some good spark plugs, maybe new wires (ur ****'s old; you'll notice a difference). coilovers/springs for some handling. pick up the rear strut from FourthGenHatch. maybe consider picking up the front strut bar too. maybe a short shifter??

this is most of the basic **** i can think of...
im not sure how much money ou have to spend. but id consdier pickin up some extra hours at work cuz once your start modding its impossible to stop.

good luck. hope i helped

 

I've seen pics of your car. That **** was horrible. Glad you'r dericing it

That's fact. My wife gonna get pissed when she finds out i'm broke. I had 25 hours of overtime.

Everybody has good suggestions so far.

 

sounds like good stuff,but i think he was askin for cheap mods..what do you want to do with the car?(race/show/hotbox/etc)

 

Intake / Header / Exhaust...Suspension (springs & shocks)...New ignition wires...New Spark Plugs..I mean theres so many stuff. IMO save up for the I/H/E..you'll notice some performance added to your car. If you do the suspension..You'll ride low and nice for the ladies But yes...once you start modding...dont expect to stop. Thank God for work and overtime

 

convert to jdm

 

neons y0!

 

Maybe you can spray paint your wheels.

 

good point. hey, do you mind if i borrow your avatar? after reading this thread it seems necessary to shoot myself.

 

I dont have that high paying job so I'll have to save up and mod slowly. I'll probably start with some ignition wires and plugs because my car sucks especially in the rain.

It's a 91 Civic LX sedan for those that dont know already and it's a auto

what is I/H/E ?

Is it worth it to paint my stock wheels? and is it "cooler" to have or not to have the hubcaps on?

Hubcaps and cool don't belong in the same sentence. Save your money.

You could have had intake for the price of your rice. hehe

 

What i meant is should i take my OEM hubcaps off and paint the wheels?

That guy might be the biggest tool I've ever seen. His tire valve stem caps he refers to as a "valve cover".

Here's some cheap (home depot)mods for you 4g Sedan until you have the money to do it right:

1) Cut your springs. It makes your car look like it's dumped, but it also makes your suspension feel like ****, but if you're ghetto like me and probably wouldn't care, it's a cool way to make your car look lowered for the cost of a replacement piece for your drill.

2) Remove your hubcaps, or paint them black, either way from afar or while the car is moving it gives that cheap, racey, faux "black wheel" look.

3) Strip your interior. There are many different extents you can go to on this, but I've generally found that trunk carpet, under seat carpet, headliners, etc all do a whopping nothing besides take up weight. If you're really hardcore you could remove everything except the seats.

4) Spraypaint goes a long way. There are plenty of things you can decorate with spray paint and some masking tape to make sure you do a good job. From wheels, to interior pieces (many will call it tacky but you just asked for cheap things you could do). There are many little pieces in the engine bay that can be spray painted too.

5) Do it yourself intake. This one is probably the most expensive thing you'll encounter, I built something for my old MX-6 that cost me a whopping $26 to make. But at the same time you can get VERY creative when you're in the hardware store. You can use a faucet plumbing box, use a big HEPA filter cut to size to fit, clamp it to the box, and then run some piping back to your intake manifold and I will be you double your intake efficiency.

 

lol neons...nice post jedubz i hope the guy appreciates it

 

Wow that is a funny car man. Are you serious with it? I f*cked around with one of my beaters. Put neons all over in it made it so its only 1 switch for like 5 neon lights that are suppose to be plugged into the lighter switch. Then I painted the drums, calilpers, steelies (rims w/o hubs), was going to lower it and throw a exhaust on it but now I think I blew something so it sucks now. It was a fun car to mess with. An 88 VW Fox GL.

 

iwillljust post on here to raise my post count

I took off my hubcaps. Desperately need's a wash but now "black" wheels.

I dont want flaming here I was just curious what kind of mods you guys started out with cause I'm just starting out .
