'03_civic_lx Posted June 12, 2003 Share Posted June 12, 2003 Are you looking for speed or show? or both? If you care what it looks like at all I'd do wheels first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joecollins2 Posted June 12, 2003 Share Posted June 12, 2003 You could always make it a sleeper! Look at my car..... Looks like a stock Si with tinted windows and lowered! My car thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sup Posted June 12, 2003 Share Posted June 12, 2003 A good way to start off is with a cold air intake, headers, and exhaust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghettodub Posted June 12, 2003 Share Posted June 12, 2003 I'd beef up the suspension first with all the goodies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trepid Posted June 12, 2003 Share Posted June 12, 2003 A good way to start off is with a cold air intake, headers, and exhaust. unless its an EX they don't make headers for it, at least from what I know... anyhow, you have 130k + so I would suggest you look into an engine swap, that will give you the best result in power and you have a fairly new engine. The CAI and exhaust is a good idea for some short term upgrades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghettodub Posted June 12, 2003 Share Posted June 12, 2003 You can do headers, you're just going to have to do other stuff too. You can use EX headers, 92-95 cat, and a CTR exhaust Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joecollins2 Posted June 12, 2003 Share Posted June 12, 2003 With that many miles don't even bother with headers and all that crap! Just do a swap! Look at my post in the classifieds. It's about the best deal your going to find on a JDM Spec GSR motor AND Trans..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joecollins2 Posted June 23, 2003 Share Posted June 23, 2003 Maybe this car should just be burned since the original poster with the questions isn't asking anymore. You still alive buddy?!?!?!?!?! HEY???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
importfan Posted June 24, 2003 Share Posted June 24, 2003 u probably should do a swap unless u want to work on the motor u got. u can do some head work (cams, valves,etc.). GUDE.com makes a sick performance head and its direct bolt on with throttle body, and intake manifold. u get about 35-45 horse. its up to u late Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boy blue Posted June 24, 2003 Share Posted June 24, 2003 they do make a header for an ex.. dc does 4-1 one piece... at 130+ mi you still have some life in that motor.. dont forget its honda its about 3/4 life out of it.. also dont forget to change the timing belt (just to be on the safe side, if it wasnt already done..) but like everyone else said.. you might want to look into a moto. swap... lates..

Powerwise, it has no life left. If you want power out of it, rebuild it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joecollins2 Posted June 24, 2003 Share Posted June 24, 2003 Or just swap it out! Look in classifieds. I know a guy with a JDM Spec GSR Motor AND Trans for 2,500 and they only have less that 20k miles! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
