Hey in need of some help. Looking for some good ideas on
what to & what not to buy.

btw my car is a 99' civic dx 2dr mt

If you could maybe guide me into what i should buy and whats along the line of quality over looks & as well as prices thanks guys.

Im looking into buying:

-New guage cluster ( With RPM meter, DX doesn't have one =/ )

-New suspension Dropped

-AEM Air Intake ( Any other good brands, good for 99 civics? )


-Rota GT3 Wheels ( Good match with the car? Also, i dont know exactly what wheel the car has either)


-Lip Kit Front/Rear & Side Skirts ( Liked Mugens. Any other good ones? )

-Lastly, Some Other Modifications that i would like to ask you guys.
What are some things i can do to affect my car positively?

Thanks guys.

 

drop drop drop drop drop... LOWER IT. lol.before everything else.

 

alright sounds good but if im on a tight budget whats a good suspsension i should get?

 

how much do you want to spend on your suspension?

 

i'd like to spend a reasonable amount. maybe leaving a 1inch-2inch gap between tire/car

 

2 inch gap is kinda big imho. I just got tokico Hp and tein S 411.50 shipped. If you want ill send you pics once its done. and you can see if you like it. they should be here tomorrow evening so expect pics sunday afternoon. unless they dont come in then oyu have to wait till tuesday

 

Everything you mentioned as far as mods will look good on your civic. When you say you want things that will affect your car positively, do you mean "what will make a noticeable driving experience change?", or "what mods could possibly raise the value of your car?"

For the first question, almost anything aftermarket will make a change in your driving experience. Short shifter (please, don't get one that states it is made out of aluminum - they break), rear sway bar, exhaust system, etc will all change it up for you.

For the second, changing out the cluster with one from an EX that has a tach. could possibly raise the value a little. Also, if you go ahead and get the rear disc brake conversion, that would raise the value a little more IMO. But the value of the car depends solely on who is looking to buy it if you know what I mean.

 

GT3's are sick wheels. If your car is green, get some bronze with a polished lip or the ones you posted. Would look sick with at least a 2 inch drop.

 

drop.

 

For that i mean, driving experience as well as modifications in the long run as well too i guess, but its my 1st car so im holdin it till its REALLY gone out of hand =/

Plethoric ima try n chop shop the wheels you mentioned & brajj im looking forward to seeing the drop, good luck.
