Hey guys, I just recently got a 97' honda civic ex 2-door and im looking to fix it up. A friend of mine gave me some rims and ever since then ive been looking for the next step. I would like to make it faster and look good. I plan on putting money into it little by little. Any suggestions where to start?

 

sweet post some pics!!

A good place to start aesthetically would be a lip kit, suspension upgrades (which of course also makes the car more fun to drive ), window tint, maybe some aftermarket CTR headlight knockoffs, paint the valve cover, etc.

Engine wise, intake/header/and exhaust will make the car sound better, but won't really net you much power. You'd have to turbo it or do an engine swap get real power gains.

 

ok, cool thanks. So if i wanted to go about putting preformance parts in is there any order in which i should do it? for example, should i put a exhaust system in before intake or header?


Heres my car.

 

No there's no real order for doing mods like Intake/Header/Ehaust.

To be honest, the FIRST things i would do are:

1) Short shifter setup
2) Lower the car on some new suspension.

I/H/E upgrades won't make your car even half as fun as doing the two things listed above
