yeah, I'm sure there's like a billion posts like this... so don't answer if ya think it's a stupid post...

but for those of you whom are willin'..

I have a 96 EX, 102,xxx miles on my d16y8
currrently running everything stock, except a CAI,
and an external coil with some other ignition upgrades (dizzy, wires.. all that, etc) uhh.. MSD on that..

so coming up in a month or so I'll have up to $300 I can put into my car, each month...

what'cha all think?

I'd like to get some nice wheels and tires, and drop it an inch or so,
then start moddin' the engine more...?

or you guys think I should start piecing together a turbo setup?
I'll be honest, the idea of taking the turbo does freak me out a lil,
as my car is gonna be a daily driver for at least another 2 years I figure..

anyway, thanks in advance... you all rock.

 

Save up for something BIG. Like your turbo. You don't want to buy a header and stuff and then waste that because you throw a turbo on.

 

Save save save....

 

lol...[/align]BUT I WANNA SPEND...[/align][/align][/align]ah I figured, I know I do atleast want to put a lip kit on in the mean time..[/align]

 

a lip kit to make it more enjoyable to look at for the time being, but ALL the rest of your money, save for the boost

 

I disagree, stock wheels on civics look hella ugly, and when you get different rims it can change a car completly. I would get the rims and tires, then save up for the turbo. The car will be gay if it has the stock little donut tires on it but people can hear a blow off valve when you cruise.

 

I'm going to keep my 14" winter tires on when I do my k series and turbo swap... boy people will be confused to see my sedan!

 

i disagree. suspension is one of the most important keys to having a good car. i would start with some struts and springs. then i would purchase 2 struts for the car and 2 tiebars. then i would start researching and saving for the boost.

 

save and get some nice rims and tires then suspension that way u will know how much of a gap you have and how much you can lower it.
