i am getting a 1997 lx sedan(milano red, i think) and im hopin to mod it out from the day i get it. i saw this forum and it has already helped answer many questions, i hope to get some pics for you and to get some positive feedback on what to do and how to do it. Thanks for the support so far.

 

Grats on the ride. First upgrade should be paint/rims IMO.

 

excellennt plan. what are you going to use the car for?

 

well i plan on using the car as a daily driver and jsut adding a few hp for those occasional drags at the local strip. my friend has 07 civic si and im determined to get my car faster than his. that means i need about 80 more horsepower so it might take a while.

 

i would just get a sharp pointy stick... poke his eye out... j/k
good luck with the car, i've not seen how good the 07s are but i've had many a debate with my friend who drives an 02 Si how much better they are than even his, but again good luck and ohh the joys to be younger and w/o a mortgage [sm=rolleyes.gif]

 

i have a buddy with an 07 si, they are rated for 197 or so engine hp and he had his dyno-ed (free at local com. college) and stock it has 192 whp so good luck beating him, i would grease his clutch pedal so he effs up his shifts lol

 

+1

If you want to beat the new SI, you should run boost! I know nothing about turbo setups but lots of peeps on here will walk you through the process provided you like to take lots of pics.

 

i think the grease up the clutch idea wasnt bad.... lol

 

no the grease idea wouldnt sork because then he would jsut make me race him again, he would make excuses, another ? thought, can u make an lx as fast as an ex without too much more money

 

so that sharpened pencil is lookin better no? [8D]

if your good with wiring, you could always mess with some of the electricals(goofy and embarassing ones make him not wanna drive) like have his alarm go off everytime he uses the accelerator, attach a speaker and have it play some random obscene noise while the car is turned on, or some racial slurs, etc.

attach a bungie cord to his seat(and remove the latch) so that hes not able to sit right/reach the clutch, and so that even if he tries to hold the seat forward its so strong he'll loose grip and fall back good... ohh and for even more effect have the recline-ability of his seat ready to fall flat on force... might cost ya a new seat, but hey the pencil is still loads cheaper [8D]

PS good luck again
