No matter what you do to the stock engine...it will really never be fast unless you do lots of work.

dido, that was my major mistake, i already had my dx ready to go, but i could have waited and pitched in a little more money and bought an si, i was so stupid back then....

if you want the max power out of a civic go for a 99-00 civic si or any years upwards. you will not go wrong with a civic for reliability and mods

im thinking about buying a 96-00 civic and i was wondering if its a good choice and worth it because of
*relibility-obviously it is, but how many miles do you have on your current civic?
*mods, are the mods generally cheaper than modding other cars?
*dealing with the haters, so many civic haters out there
i said long term cause i plan on getting the car and putting at least 5k in mods into it so i want to know if its worth it
