Hey guys, just want to introduce myself. My name is edgar prado and i live in daytona beach fl, i drive a 2004 civic lx black. ive done nothing to it yet. ive been to a couple of auto Xs with my ride, it holds its own in the novice stock class. Ive only been part of my school car club forum and decided to join this one cause im hoping i could get some useful information from some expirienced tuners and so on. LATERS

 

Welcome to the forum.Whats your Questions?

 

Nothing specific now. but when i do get the bankage to start modifying my car i would like to try to learn to do all the work myself. it seems to me that if i know everything about my car it would make me a better driver at the AUTO Xs. the first thing that i realla want to do is to get rid of my engine which is a stock 04 lx civic engine pushing out like 115 hp and SOCH and compression ration 10.5:1. i would like to get a higher rated engine soon and turbo it maybe if needed.

 

Have you looked into engines and do you know the one you want?

 

look into suspension for your car. get some good struts and shocks for auto x. welcome to the forum man.

 

Well i was looking into a K20a or B18, but the problem is that i own an automatic. and in response to suspension post i dunno which kind i should get, i was kinda interested into adjustable shock struts.

 

well i think ur gonna have to do a k20 causei dont think ur car will fit a b18..they dont make wiring harness or motor mounts so i hope ur ready to sppend some money on a k20!..its jus 5000 for the engine its self not including all the othercrap u have to do, i mean hey ill do it if i had the $. welcome to the site man!..heres a lil gift from me to u!
