well, your not really left with many options once you take out forced induction. bolt ons are a waste of money becuase you won't gain any reasonable numbers at all. You chose the wrong car if you wanted to make it quick without any forced induction.

There's not much you can do to make a car designed for economy fast. I'm not saying it can't be done, it's just not cost-effective. You're better off just going with suspension, etc. and making it into an even more fun car to drive.

without forced induction, making a civic a 14 second car with a D series engine.... would be bolt on's, tune, engine build up, full strip the interior.... that could do it. But by that time, effort, and $, it's not worth it.

I really hope you didn't buy a Civic because you thought it was going to be "Fast"
