Default Please help me with my civic!!!!!!

I've got a 99 Honda Civic DX with an automatic. It's basically for show, here's what I have done to it.

Ractive Header
APC Air Intake
Custom 2.25" Exhaust
Ractive Custom Muffler
R&S Coilovers
17" Enkei RS9
APC Green Turn Signals (Front & Back)
APC Green Reverse Lights

I've got about $2000 to spend. What should I put on it to really make it move. Performance wires? Ignition? Any ideas to turn my automatic into a highway monster!?!?!? Open to any suggestions.

go with a zc(if you are not in ca) and do a auto to mt conversion...
all of it really depends on your state laws...or you can just build your internals and start boosting... or for a real quick solution....get an ignition system and you can drop a 50 shot...but i would recommend building the internals also...
also im not very familiar with reactive products but i think they are close to the pep boys brand correct me if im wrong...yo have a ton of options not sure what the engine code on your car is but i would highly recommend that you do a dpfi to mpfi swap if it applies to your car....

My Ractive parts suck???? I figured, they were so cheap, but I have noticed gains in my ride with the headers.

Only $1500...cant beat that!

but whatever you do, if make too much more power, try to limit it highway runs and stuff, none of that stop light, saturday night drag racing, cause otherwise your trannies gonna give you the finger.

Sell your car if you want something faster. Get a hatch or something, make sure it's manual though.

Yes sell your car and with the money you have and the money you got buy a hatch, a MANUAL hatch.

I don't think they make turbos or superchargers for my engine code: D16Y7. All I have found are Greddy's for the 99-00 Si. Any other suggestions? Would a auto to manual conversion help at all? Thanks for the help

you can use the kit from the 92-95 civic, minimal modifications to fit.
