The K series motors respond very well to CAI's or the Hondata Gaskets... I would do both of those.

They respond very well to bolt ons (i/h/e). Go with those.

AEM cold air intake......and headers.

A Type R sticker or 2 is good for at least 25 HP

That has to be your first mod. Can't drive a civic without a Type R sticker.

just4kickz · 04-12-2007, 06:56 PM

coupe or sedan? i like the coupe... it looks good

tint, intake, maybe exhaust... but dont get an annoying one.

thing you can do with a honda civic?

spacedogg · 04-12-2007, 07:47 PM

I hear rear wings on front wheel drive cars totally help.

daheechang · 04-12-2007, 07:49 PM

haha wow you guys are harsh. well like many said, pretty much bolt ons do help with hondas. since i'm guessing you dont want to spend too much on mods, i'd go with i/h/e and a tastefully dropped civic always looks clean. just dont have it dragging on the ground.

lol i see yoyu've had your share of hondas as well. Honestly i loved my honda when i drove it. i had a 2000 integra type r w/ a jdm front. Fun car to drive, and made great gas mileage. honda's are great economical cars, and congrats on her new acquisition. but all in all, unless you're trying to heavily mod the car, you wont get much power, unless you go w/ a turbo setup. but yea, if you just want a clean look, white always have great potential for a great jdm look. I find that white looks great with carbon fiber contrasting, but it might look too "rice" for some. good luck!

ITR?..Nice...I'm more into the sleeper status..Like my 93 hatch..Its all stock lookin but dont be fooled..same goes with my 94 teggy 4 door..dont EVER sleep on that one...

lol

Hondas are cool though. Had at least 5 civics and a couple accords.

E90330iS · 04-12-2007, 09:38 PM

I love the new Honda Civic especially in the sedan form. The sedan always gave the boxy design but not this one! The coupe is actually looks kind of bubbly but it is nice nonetheless. I think the Civic is perfect the way it is just help her wash the car every weekend! Thats a great mod!

+1

But I've kinda grown past the whole idea of trying to make a "civic" go faster. Heck I'm not really doing any performance on my BMW either...

Unless you have the balls to pay for a forced induction setup...then I don't think it's really worthwhile tinkering with it. Just get her some tinted windows and maybe a decent stereo and alarm. She'll be happy with that.

(i'm kinda surprised nobody has recommended the ricer's favourite yet...NOS!)

sall about hte civic si sedan!
