I finally got started on my sisters civic. I put an ebay intake on and i have noticed a change in the way it sounds (good) and feels. heres a pic

 

Congrats on the first mod! From here on out it just gets more addicting and more expensive (as long as you go with good reputable brands) [8D]

 

yea i know. Im just getting my big sisters car ready for when she starts driving it. I didnt want to buy an expensive intake since they all relatively do the same thing. force more air in to the engine and anything is better than stock right? But some other things that should be coming soon is a cat-back for sure and maybe a header. Also gotta get some body work done before the body kit and paint job. Im probably gonna go with a xenon kit with a royal purple paint and a graphite/dark greyish color graphic on the side.

 

keep an eye on that filter...i just dont trust those ebay filters. why are u doing mods on ur sisters car and not urs?

 

Im currently working on my truck. I have a 2000 2dr s10 blazer. She is giving me the money to work on her car so i was like hey what the hell right?

 

hehe ricer girls gotta love em

 

I find that body kits are a waste of money. It's all looks and added weight.

 

I got a question. From the picture...your intake has a braket that is attached to the frame of the car. I pretty much have the same exact set up...however, after 6 1/2 years, i guess the vibration is too much, that the screw, from the frame, came off and ripped off a hole. Any idea on where I should re-mount that bracket? without that, my intake is pretty much just haging...any ideas?

 

i don't see how body kits add weight. my stock bumper and fiberglass bumper weigh close and i don't think an extra pound or two will kill that much performance

 

I suppose your right. But personally I prefer just lowering the vehicle.
