2xtap Posted September 10, 2003 Share Posted September 10, 2003 i just bought a brand new '03 civic lx. i've got about a grand to spend into it. i was thinking either new rims and tires all around or maybe get intake, header, full exhaust,etc. what do you recommend i should get for now thats in my price range? thanks in advance for any input.

speedycivic Posted September 29, 2003 Share Posted September 29, 2003 i/h/e is what i would do or a full body kit. if you got rims and tires you will probably what to get suspension too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
..SSR.. Posted September 29, 2003 Share Posted September 29, 2003 I would save my money for a K series. Fixing up the stock engine is pointless as are wheels or a body kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedycivic Posted September 30, 2003 Share Posted September 30, 2003 i thought fixing up engines was your thing according to the "project car" thread?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
optional187 Posted September 30, 2003 Share Posted September 30, 2003 where did he say not to fix up an engine? he said save up for a k-series and fix that up, since the stock engine isn't really worth anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

..SSR.. Posted October 3, 2003 Share Posted October 3, 2003 Yes, the stock B17 isn't worth jack. N/A K20A can see 200whp with bolt ons. K20A from an ITR = $5,800 HASport mount kit = $649 HASport wire kit = $300+ (price not listed) K20A axles = Call your local Acura dealership. Though it will take longer to save up for it, it will give much more enjoyment than a bling blang body kit and wheels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
optional187 Posted October 4, 2003 Share Posted October 4, 2003 i think i'd rather lower it and keep saving up for the engine swap as ssr said. do absolutely NOHTING to the stock engine, just save up for something thats worth tuning, you'll be happier in the long run.
