Whats up, i have a 2 dr. 2001 civic lx with APC headers, AEM underdrive kit and short ram air intake system performance wise. My exterior has 15" aluminum rims, hood scoops and a spolier. Basically i wanna start pumpin out some horsepower, im building for speed only with some looks every now and then. Whats some things that will give me good gain and have me beat my friends mustang 5.0?

 

for that ur goin to have to spend 3,000 on bolt ons...........ur better off just getting a turbo installed Then ull spank the 5.0/

 

For the money your going to spend I wouldn't worry about those 5.0's. As an owner of both a 5.0 Mustang and the Civic they are like night and day. The V8 only has to work half as hard and most bolt ons are really inexpensive for the Stangs in comparison. The performance guys have done their homework when it comes 4 & 6 cyl market and prices reflect this. Enjoy the civic because ultimately you'll be saving where it counts..... the gas tank [sm=happybounce.gif]

 

For the love of all things holy, take your fake hood scoops off. Those are retarded, they don't do anything for the car and they're rice in it's purest form. Put a K20 in the car and then boost it. Then you'll put bus lengths on your friends 5.0.

 

I didnt put them on in the first place i bought this car used 2 weeks ago and they came it already, i may try to find a carbon fiber hood that has the same effect but with real scoops or take it to my dad's shop and we'll cut vents in for them. What is a K20?

 

k20 is the acura RSX type S motor......its got like 200 horse........swap that bioch in and turbo it and ull reek havoc on ur friend. Se7en had that setup before his friend torched his car.............seemed to work very well.

 

I know that acura and honda parts are interchangeable, but when doing a motor swap do all the mounts and such line up too? or do you have to get a lil creative.

 

Give Hasport a call for the motor mounts. They're not cheap, but they are very well fabricated and fit absolutely perfectly.

 

hasport makes the best ****. still takes some time to do. the k24 we done took a day and a half. it sucked, but it is definitley worth it in the end. and for the record, don't get hood scoops, they are ghey. good luck.
