Re: Newbie

not much you can do, the engines are already so well tuned from the factory. check out 8thcivic.com and see what theyve been up to. otherwise its the usual intake/header/exhaust mods for an extra 10hp maybe.

Re: Newbie

ok so im going with the Injen Cold Air Intake 2006-2008 Honda Civic EX and LX 1.8L If you disagree with the decision please let me know.
Lastly, do you guys know of any other little things to buy for my civic that could make the engine better? (both in performance and looks).
