Default Starting upgrades for a Civic (1996-1999)

I'm wanting to get a Civic (Either a 96-99). I'm wanting to buy an all stock car and buy upgrades to fix up. Eventally buying a body kit and just putting new everything on it.

Where should i start? (Of course buying a car of course). But where should i start after that? What were your first upgrades?

first start with small mods like I/H/E. then maybe move to up buying a turbo kit or an engine swap.

Good Luck

ya man go to the front page and click on the section you want to learn about. In this case click on intake, exhaust, and headers, and at the top of the sections there are general threads that will answer a lot of your basic questions.

Start out with small stuff like intake header and exhaust, then work your way to bigger more expensive stuff. Its not cheap
