Newb here!
So I just got a 95 Civic DX to drive back and forth to work and I love this little car. Wanting to know what I can do to up a little power on a manual 1.5 while keeping great gas mileage....any thoughts would be appreciated! Oh and my other ride is an 01 Ford Lightning on 14lbs of boost so I know all about performance stuff just nothing about these Civics....

Welcome. Post up pics of your rides. (We are friendly to Ford drivers who are friendly to us!)
That little 1.5 liter engine isn't powerful at all. There's not much you can do for it unless you want to boost it. You might be able to squeeze another 3 or 4 horsepower out of it by doing the usual bolt-ons. Header, intake, exhaust. Aside from that, you have to get into building it up for more power.

Those 'Heatons' as we call them on Lightningrodder.com are ok but I definitely can't wait to port and polish my spare I have that has an aftermarket upper intake on it. Should be close to 500 flywheel hp then....now just to make my Civvy suck and blow efficiant and freshen her up for DD duty. Ohhhh priorities!
