BANG 4 BUCKS Mods for Civic (EK4, EM1)

**J-MuN** · 17-03-2005 09:44 AM

i saw this thread in the Integra Thread for a DC5.. but seeing i dont have a DC5, was wondering if ppl could post wat effective mods would be beneficial but not TOO costly like changin to a B20 block or eventually chuckin a Turbo Kit.. what i've heard has been (well the obvious ones):

- CAI
- Exhaust
- Headers
- Lightened Flywheel
- Removing Backseats

but mainly, i wanna keep the car as a daily driver.. dont wanna go bazerk with mods.. just wanna get it a lil mo' fasta...

thanks yO!

regular maintenance?
better oils/fluids
brake pads (need to stop fast if u go fast y0!)

well, if u can get an alright catback and some form of CAI, u'll b doin ok already. u may not notice a big diff at all but performance is DEFINITELY see-able when u have another car to compare with in terms of taking off at the lights.

If ya wan fasta and ya wan it cheap, get sum stikaz bro. Spoon, Mugen, Type-R. Neons and shift light too.

But yeah, reduce weight, reduce power leeches (air-con) and increase power (intake and exhaust). Don't forget brakes and tyres. No point running 150kW through Kumhos. And brakes help guard your car from suicidal wildlife and children. It's okay if you've got a red car... the blood isn't as noticable.
