Well, with this civic of mine, I think it will be all show. I was wanting it to go fast, four cylinder fast not v8 fast, but I think I am just going to concentrate on lowering it, some wheels, and some interior stuff for now.

no; but a little hp helps. plus either N2O or forced induction will kick some serious ass. im not sure which 1 to get since i already spent money on the header and intake so im blowing off the turbo but will think about a sc when and IF it comes out.
and about autos not being fast; race me.
i got an auto so i wouldnt mod it up but that didnt help at all.
I also been racing since ive been 5; from midgets to modifides

no matter how many mods we do to our cars....how can we even BEGIN to call them fast! they have at the most 127hp from the factory! and unless any of us have are running a ton of boost then i dont think any of our cars can be even considered remotly fast!!! 127hp! does not equal fast! lol! therefore our civics are simply for show!

A bit of both for now, eventually more concentration on GO.

BTW, our cars may not be fast compared to some others like rsx's and stuff, but they are fast compared to say a geo metro, it's all about your point of view, I went from a Jeep Wrangler to these honda's, and to me they still feel like rocket cars (from 10 months ago). Enjoy what you have [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

high 15's are very easy...use LOW octane fuel 87 octane is good enough..lower your front tire pressure to 23PSI..(if stock)..remove passenger seat, rear seats. Spare tire.. jack...a CAI, and SHort shift adapter and you should be able to pull off a high 15 with good driving..

a 30 shot of Naws will get ya mid 15's [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]
