Default any other tips?

i plan on tuning the inside of my civic lx 4dr now its 10 years old and although it has only 57k miles i wanna keep it up to date. so far im gonna change and do:

spark plugs, spark plug wires (Bosh platinums+4, bosch wires
tornado for gas mileage
new fuel filter
oil change with castrol gtx oil and k&n oil filter
change timing belt and water pump with competely new timing blt and water pump

No tornado, no Bosch plugs/wires.

Plugs/wires = NGK Standards as recommended by Honda

Chances are the tornado thing is only going to hinder performance/mpgs


I ran Bosch plugs in my car for a little while and the motor hated them. As soon as I switched back to NGKs it ran smooooth as silk. Do what you can to get them, they're usually cheaper than the bosches
