Got Speed?
 

....I don't! I've got a 95 civic dx coupe. Where do I start?There are so many products on the net and I'd like to know from you guys which direction I should head in. My dx coupe is stock......and quite frankly I'm tired of going slow. I can't afford a new car buy what can I do to make my whip faster. I'd like to get a turbo but I know theres alot of crap out there. I'm always in magazines looking at cars but those guys put top dollar in their whips. Not only that but they have everything money can buy in theire civics.

So I'm on a budget not looking to spend more that 2000 to start with. Can I build up a turbo from parts? Should I get a turbo? Will the motor withstand boost? I don't have vtec so will I get much more power out of it? How much extra hp do turbos create?

What kinda suspension should I upgrade to?


Well thats all the rambling I got for now.

Thanks!
