im kasey. 16 yrs young. jus gotta 95 civic cx. d15. 5 spd. scared to do alot of engine upgrades because its got 217,700 miles on it. i was thinkin a full catback jdm exhaust n maybe a jdm header.jus lookin for some good stuff to do to it. ne help is needed. thanks.

 

Sweet! If you take care of it, it'll last quite a while I'd start with a Cold air intake or ram air intake, then move onto exhaust and a header....really cause its cheap and easy.

Welcome to the wonderful world of honda!

 

do you know what jdm means? Just wondering cause those 3 letters are often used to lure newbs into buying cheap parts of ebay. Just want to make sure you dont go off buying crappy parts just because they say jdm. Anyways welcome to the forum. If you dont feel comfortable modding the engine, dont. Work on the suspension, a car is 10x more fun when it handles better, plus the d15 really isnt that great of engine for bolt ons, same goes for the rest of the d series motors, unless you turbo. Also you could get a lip kit, some nice wheels and call it a day. Let us know if you need any more help and make sure to read the stickies!

 

hey hey hey don't hate on the D

 

The "JDM" stuff you see on eBay is not JDM unless it is an OEM Honda part that was originally only sold in the Japan Domestic Market.

Also, those "JDM" parts on eBay tend to be garbage knock-off brand paperweights.

Since you're not experienced enough to spot out misleading part names, I recommend doing your browsing on a reputable online store and using eBay to find a deal once you have decided on a specific brand.
