Rep Power: 174 Looking for Vendors
Hi, I've done some looking around the site, and only found old threads regarding this.
Does anyone know where I can basically find anything for a reasonable price? Any websites that you guys like to visit and find reliable?
I have an 01 LX auto and am currently looking for an SRI and wanted to know anywhere I can get a good deal on one, as ebay has them for roughly to 200. Or maybe if one of you is selling one?
I just bought the car and have had it for about a month now. Getting Idea's of what I want to do come spring time, and also getting my budget together lol
Anything you can recommend would be great!

dezod.com and thmotorsports.com is where I buy most of my parts online. Thmotorsports gives free shipping on most things over $100.
Just fyi, bolt ons on the D17 kinda suck.. just a heads up

They won't give gains to performance, they just make your car louder and clean up the engine bay.
In my opinion the best intake option, aside from maybe the AEM V2, is an ebay special with a Denso air filter.

I'm not really looking to make my civic super fast, not now at least. I'm saving the money for Uni and other stuff :P I just want some little things here and there to make the civic more custom, to fit me. Keep it clean.

Like mentioned above, you'll get pretty much no gains, but yea, it does clean up the engine bay. K&n filter sucks, from what i've heard, and the AEM dryflow is awesome sauce. The AEM V2 intake is pretty, but it's expensive. You can eBay pipe it and slap on an AEM dryflow

Exactly!
If you want you could also buy a can of high temp paint from the parts store and paint it to match your cars colour scheme. I've heard good things about the AEM dry flow too, but I still think Denso filters are the best and they come in different colours.
