looks coz no matter how u modify ur civic, its always gonna be slow. (aka not supercar fast lol)

Keep your car looking JDM bro. Go I/H/E and a bottom end, but before you do bottom end you might wanna do some internal head work like valves, valve springs, retainers etc....

prob go looks now that you lost your licence man, hard luck. Start a build thread and keep us updated with what you decide to do to the car. Personally on my em1 im tending to do more looks and suspension first, the only performance mod so far is Injen CAI.

Oh wait, you're running a D16Y1 yeah? In that case do an engine conversion for power instead. If you wanna do B20 you probably need to do head work first (maybe like $4000) and for the B20 you should probably get new conrods and pistons (another like $4000-5000). And to do that you'd best get a DOHC VTEC engine.

So if you really wanna do a B20 later I suppose you could go B18C7 coz it has a nice strong/aggressive head on it already. Otherwise just go B16A2 or B18CR bro

Ah, I'm not really familiar with the newer stuff. Just know my EGs and CRXs! Thought they were D16Y1a lol.

In that case do internal work before B20 :P

going to go court, going to find out i will lose it for 4years and more, going to find out that i might get a criminal conviction aswell and lose my job and get hektik 4k+ fines

you choose!

having a powerful car won't make you lose your license, get big fines and maybe have a criminal conviction.

Driving like a dumb arse and telling everyone to get itb's will.
