Default I have an 07 Honda Civic, Automatic.

Automatic... yes... I know. But its black (My favorite color on a car -PERIOD), and is an 07.

BUT, its the only bright side I see to it. I wanna make it faster, and right now I'm definitely adding turbo and intake. What else do you guys recommend? To add HP/torque? This is actually my dad's car, but he let me fix it up, temporarily till I save enough to get me my 2000 Si.

Then again, I was reconsidering this, and just only dropping it using coilovers, since almost every **** I get will come expensive since its a new car, and is just for 8 months' use.

BTW, I'm new to the forum. Finally registered after reading through the site the past few weeks.

Eh dont see a point in Moding it either.
i mean yeah your gonna be ridding it for 8 months..
but IMO.. Maybe if you didnt spend money on a car thats not yours, you would have enough money saved up to buy your OWN car sooner?

It is worth more in stock condition. You should not modify it. Sell it and buy a more suitable car to modify. The late-model automatic, in good stock condition, is still worth considerable money to those who want a daily driver / family car.

Gotta go with everyone else. Save the money, don't do anything to that Civic, especially something like a turbo.....

You will thank us later when you have money for suspension for YOUR car instead of wasting it on a car you aren't going to keep (plus I doubt your parents will appreciate you dropping their car)

Will do. I'm convinced... thanks for the advice.

For the record, my dad says its mine, but I feel bad taking it, so I'm gonna buy myself my own car. He said its cool if I fix it up, but I'm just gonna drop it.
