In terms of performance, how much modification can I do with an AT FD1?

So far I've only installed a HKS air filter and it feels much better than the original one. I'm wondering what more can I do?
Seems like all great mod for performance are stand for MT? Correct me if i'm wrong

I'm assuming you mean transmission? You can turbo it, some guys have done.

yea i meant transmission, sorry for the abbreviation

really?
but i appreciate the NA engines of Honda

Throttle controller

thanks ej201

it's the stock intake system

what's CAI? :P i'm pretty new to mod so..

**Reclus** · 29-03-2010 01:25 PM

and which throttle controller will fit the best?

**ej20i** · 29-03-2010 01:27 PM

Cold Air Intake, i use Fujita CAI
i use the shadow throttle controller which is the same as the pivot
johnnyfd uses the buddy club but hes having some problems with it

buddyclub japan got it fixed.. sensor has been reset for civic AUD settings

try using pivot

there are alot of mods for both AT & MT.. the only thing with MT coz of its transmission, u can get final drive gears and a LSD for handling and performance

flashpro is making something for the R18A MT engine later on.. and the guys up in the states want to get flashpro for AT

I recond if you have some cash on hand just do the basic stuff suspension, sway bars, some nice and light wheels, and full exaust system (don't go for just an n1 muffler look, it will sound like a rice canon). But if you think about it, if you put any more money into it you might as well Purchased the civic spots to begin off with.

Kawai, I can't agree more

I just didn't think the sport model is worthy
only 10kw more and it's heavier
it's all about comfort, not sporty i guess

anyway thanks for the advice
my first goal at the moment is to replace that stupid look steel wheel covers...
