hey, pulley system? cam gear? cam? dono if i said the right thing but yea, LSD?

also wat kind of gains u got after Exedy Stage 1 Clutch, ACT street-lite flywheel?

im planing to get those

xxxcivic2001 · 02-06-2007

yeah i'm looking into all of those...i've heard mixed things about them
As for the clutch and flywheel, pedal pressure is amazing, perfect balance of driveability and performance. Flywheel is a little on the annoying side. makes the car lurch and jump alot. But performance wise its great. revs up and down real quick and definitly worth it if you wanna get into the tranny.

have you thought about chips or modules? i know venom makes on for around $300 that'll give u up to a 25% increase in power. or considering improving the electrical efficiency of the car (grounding kits, spark plugs/wires, etc.) which can also increase power and at worse, make everything run better. every little bit helps. btw how are the headers i've been looking into getting some and i heard they make a huge difference in throttle response.

I doubt you'll gain much with minimal cash on the 7thgen.

Sorry to break it to you. You're not going too much faster without a wallet. If you wanted a fast car, you bought the wrong one. Civics are not fast, without FI or a swap. Save your money and do FI, or a swap, or save your money to buy a faster car.

who makes electrical kits or ignition wires and such for our cars? my car has over 100k miles so that kinda stuff is probably in need of replacement. Anything else?

rice4lyfe · 02-07-2007

we dont have ignition wires, try getting a grounding kit

I've heard that most of the power is hiding inside of the cams within the D17. For a couple hundred bucks (I've never researched the price, I wouldn't know) you can get some good power from it.

Also, as previously said, you can get some good power from a engine management standalone preferrably. But that's a bit more expensive.
