Re: How can I increase hp?

buy another car... no im not joking.... if you want power you shouldn't have bought a civic.

You can always put in a stage 1 cam, CAI, headers exhaust blah blah blah but it wont be worth the money in my opinion.

An automatic? If I ha performance in mind I wouldn't touch an auto with a 10 foot pole. Sell it and buy an rsx. The k series engines have a lot more potential

Just sell it and look for a 5 spd. Same HP but will be quicker.

If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

For your reading pleasure, I present:

https://forums.craigslist.org/?act=showThread&forumID=5&thread=211921&ID=2297290 37



So anyway. My neighbors kid turns 17, and the mother gives him her Honda Civic.
Say it out loud now with me. Honda civic.

Plastic and aluminum, 75 horsepower, basic commuter car, Honda Civic.

"Perfect for a new driver, economical, easy to maintain and dependable a good basic car for junior," I thought to myself.

The first week was fine, he bought spinning hubcaps and a set of dragon seat covers for it. That should have been it. He should have left it alone.




Wait, that is BY FAR not all.


There's at least 6 long posts of this in the thread.
I LMFAO.

ill take the rocket ship in the below photos

The civic could gain decent hp with breather mods. Intake, Headers, Exhaust, a throttle booster could help too for a/t lag. You will improve your mpg and your hp. Lighten up the car by removing things u dont need.
