Also the accerlation is awful i gun it and nothign much happens it make a lot of noise but dosnt go very hard at all is there somethign i can do to the gears to increass that. thanx guys i seen this site and figered some of u could help me get this damn thing to go past 20 MPH lol.

Judging by your name it would appear all your doing here is just to start an argument. Let me just say that Honda Civic's in general are japanese engineered fuel efficient, low emission cars. If your looking for a economical car with high reliability you buy a Honda/Toyota or you go German. If all you want is HP I suggest you look for another vehicle.

Re: My new 08 Civic

You should have maybe gone for an 8th/7th Gen Si and just went and got nitrous or had it turbo'd. Other than that you can do the basic bolt on stuff, but it's not really going to make a huge difference overall.
