    budget upgrade for civic

    hey guys,
    i am looking at making my car go a bit faster or maybe drive smoother a bit would be great if i dun get flamed dun really want to spend too much for now maybe around the 200-1k range..

    i just bought a EG d16y1 engine 1994 sedan with stock parts only

    cheers

    looking at upgrading my speakers also.. maybe getting it for front and back so 4 stero speakers whats are the better ones? i like to turn up my speakers on occasion (for myself to hear whenever i hear the songs i like)also looking at the 200-8k range. the current speakers i only hear from the back and sounds monotonous. lol

    cheers

    I would personally say get an exhaust and possibly rims OR spend it all on upgrading your suspension ( do it properly the 1st time )

    All else fails, search, heaps of people ask these questions.

    get a custom after market catback exhaust which is around 300 to 400 depends where u get it from and a simota intake system which will be around 200 to 350 depends if u want cold air intake or short ram intake but i say get the cold air much more beta .. these mods will be easily under 1k with easy power gains if u get a bit more money you can get headers as well .. but IMO get those 2 mods 1st ..

    split (component) speakers are where the tweeter (small speaker dedicated to higher frequencies) is seperate from the mid driver (the larger speaker, usually 6.5 inch) as opposed to coaxials where they are together. they are more expensive but the main benefit is the ability to position the tweeter away from the mid in order to help sound quality. if ur running on a pretty tight budget i understand jaycar have some decent products in that price range as well.

    suspensions first for handling, next would be rims, strut bars and body kit
    InTEGRA TYPE R

    theres no point in having good suspension if u have sh1t tyres. u'll just break traction and be all over the road sooner than you think.

    speakers, i'm running clarion slimline 6" fronts, alpine rears, 1RCA alpine headunit, mtx sub, alpine amp. All second hand off mates or eBay or brand new on special. Cost me under $450 total for my system. And I think, it sounds blardy awesome. no need to spend big bucks unless ur an audiophile.

    if you're looking for a bit more power, maybe intake, exhausts, extractors, sparkies, and ignition leads for under 1k-ish (may take some looking around).

    if you want handling, head to ebay. you can get a set of skunk2 pro-c coilovers for US$550+delivery, and get front and rear struts and ties for US$30-40+delivery.
    Current Performance Modifications to ED6:
    not telling, but it involves a semi-quad carb setup, and lots and lots of compression.
