i would like to know if headers are good on the V-TEC and how many horses could i get and for how much?

a good header is great for a vtec civ, expect about 5hp and maybe a little more torque, as for cost, you can save some money by only getting one header.

Damn you! I must be getting slow at my old age, haha



JuJu, I dont understand you question. Do you mean whats the next best mod after those? If so I'd go into suspension if you dont have any upgrades there yet. Maybe even a short shifter if your manual

ohh yeah, go with a short shifter and a bushing set for it, it will make a big difference in the shift feel. i suggest the skunk2 double-bend, but its kinda expensive. i broke two aluminum ones in like two weeks, so i got the billet steel S2 and havent had a prob in like 2 years. then do some good suspension. dont worry about power yet. make that thing handle and stop really well, then do some big power mods.

sorry...for my speaking ....

well the handling is what i want first and brake right now i'm gonna have $500 i'm counting to do suspention right away but what should i do after???

what is that short shifter??? just changing the shifter of the 5 speed is that it???

changes the pivot point fot you shifter as well as making it a little shorter. You will be able to shift quicker and have power to the wheels quicker.

honestly, dont go with 18s unless you just have to have them. it will hurt your handling, your car will be slower than hell, and the tires cost twice as much as 15s or 16s. not to mention the tires will rub under the fender. if you want any performance, go with 205/40/16 or for a little less handling, but a little softer ride, 205/45/16. if you have to have bigger, go 215/35/17. dont go over 17 though, it may look good, but it wont be near as fun to drive.
