4doorstunna Posted September 30, 2002 Share Posted September 30, 2002 I recently purchased a '89 4 door civic. it has 105k on it, runs awesome and has a great body. im looking to soup it up this spring cause i live in maine and i cant drive it in the winter,(its my daily driver). so far ive bought clear corners, sparco pedals, a system and some decals. the only reason why i havent bought anything else is im afraid to. I dont want to buy junk brands but i dont want to pay outrageous amounts for top of the line. i want to know the best products i can buy for the least amount of cash. i need to konw the best coilovers, the best intake, (which is a bitch to find a good name brandintake for a dx), and the berst exhaust. ive already purchased a combat front bumper also. any other info like the best plug wires or ways to free up some extra horse power would be excellent i know someone knows. thanx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
optional187 Posted October 4, 2002 Share Posted October 4, 2002 i heard that denso makes some nice iradium spark plugs that get a na car about 6hp, and a turbo car something like 18hp. nice easy (cheap) way to get a few extra horses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JBEX Posted December 16, 2002 Share Posted December 16, 2002 Do the standard stuff first CAI, Plugs n' wires, 4:2:1 header/ exhaust, strut bars front and back, and rear wing (within reason), Horsepower isn't the only variable. You have to increase the performance of the WHOLE system, a well handling Cvic 4dr with 130hp, will spank a uncontrollable Mustang with 500hp ATW, EVERYTIME!! skip the rice, sleep.

..SSR.. Posted December 17, 2002 Share Posted December 17, 2002 I had an 89 Civic that I bought to restore and sell. Anyways, all I would do is B16A, you can get them for $2,900 at this place. Open up the intake and exhaust. No wing, that would look pretty stupid on a 89 sedan. If you put any of the available bodykits on it, it will look like rice or just plain stupid. Get some old school Mugen parts if you can find some at reasonable prices. Like the Mugen taillights, wheels, just stuff like that. I'll post a site later today with the link. Also, try some lowering springs, maybe a 3/4" to 1" drop, and some Nitto 555R tires for traction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProjectSupe115 Posted December 28, 2002 Share Posted December 28, 2002 personally i would have done performance mods first instead of the typical clear corners and decals, and bumpers, but thats my choice with all that money u spent on the cosmetics u could have gotten a nice exhaust and intake system, throw in a FW, new clutch, some pulleys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
