project car(97 lx)
 

i get my fixer upper in 2 months and am goin for sri, racing wheels, lip kit, and then after i get some money i'll drop headers in it. exaust could be in there but i dunno. for first car should i go speed before look or vise versa. i was thinking speed, like headers maybe before wheels and lip kit but im not sure, thats why i ask you guys.

It's up to you...if you want a slow car that looks fast, go for appearance mods (wheels, lip, etc). If you want a fast car that looks stock(sleeper), go for performance mods first. People will wonder how they got their ass beat in a race by a supposedly stock civic. I say go for performance first, save looks for later.

I say go appearance first. Your civic is always going to be slow unless you swap/turbo. I/H/E doesn't add that much HP.

i always like to fix it up for a better drive. hence my suspension setup and short shifter. then maybe a few aesthetic pieces if you have anything left over. in the end, it's your car.

I want to say go performance first but......these sir parts are getting harder to find, and
harder to find means more money.
So im going to say go with the look and suspension.

i would go with both i just cant stand seeing a civic and it not drop so 1st ill do the suspension. rimsare a little pricy and it usually take a while to find one tht u really like and stuff ( unless u already know what u want) so after the suspension i would buy an intake and header.
