Default NEWBIE HERE, Looking for suggestions

new to the forum and new to civics. i recently bought a 03 honda civic si hatchback. where do i start to make it a tight ride? can you even make it a tight ride? i heard some bad reviews with the good ones.....i have a yota mr2 and i know it like the back of my hand but civics are a whole new world....so many choices. anyone know whats really good for the 03 si hb? i was thinking intake, exhaust, chip, and cam rods to start? but which do i pick? any exhaust sound clips online for the 03 si hb?

any opinions appreciated

best option for power is an Acura RSX type S headswap. just save up for that, and maybe throw some valvetrain in while its open. im seeing over 200 whp for you pretty easily.

Totaly agree. That K20 has A LOT of potential waiting to be unlocked.

Default 01-05 SI=mini odyssey

Personally, I don't like anything about that year SI exept the motor. I'd go with the head swap though
