Rep Power: 0

Alright yall heres the skinny, I have in my ownership a beautiful clover green 2001 civic lx 4dr with a 1.7L engine. It has 208000 miles and I've just cracked my radiator so..with the beatings I've given it in mind I've decided I'm gonna just start replacing all the parts piece by piece, or maybe component by component.

So heres what i'm thinking (and i'm not trying to make it a speed demon, just replace with updated/more efficient parts so I can get the most out of it, and I don't mind sacrificing a dollar for quality)

-Brake system: Alright, so I'd like to replace everything. Lines, calipers, master cylinder, pads rotors etc. But what I'm shooting for is quality and efficiency, I don't need bright red brakes, what I need is something that brakes great, either metal or carbon fiber brake lines, something that will last a lifetime of use, and also calipers and rotors highly resistant to rust as I live by the ocean.

-Exterior: Replace all the doors(maybe with bullet proof, no joke), hood (with ventilated hood), trunk lid, rims, and lights with light weight parts, Touch up paint, pull up dents, Replace glass with smoked glass, replace the gas cap (someone broke mine and its the kind where you lift the lever inside)

Carbon fiber probably but I don't know much about lightening the weight. I need to get new plastics too as mine are torn up, like the front bumper and plastics lining the wheel well I'd also like to make sure I don't sacrifice quality or comfort, For the lights its not really important I just don't want those hids.

Interior: Gut and reupholster, New seats (luxury captains massage seats)
New dash guages(nothing rediculous)
steering wheel
(one that either has or can accept ugrades to the controls)
shifter (when i swap to manual)
floor matts (I need something better then the stock ones, maybe weathertech
glove box(i could use one with a lock)
an upgrade to the restraining system (racing belts)
a roll cage
airbag systems (side airbags) would be great.
I'd also like a navigation system, preferably one that monitors law enforcement haha, basically I want my car to be my fighter jet.
If anyone has any suggestions on radar detectors, jammers etc let me know

Engine: Where to begin, my engine has a few problems,
My A/c compressor is out I believe
(the fans and compressor kick on but no cold air recharges failed)
Theres has to be a torn up engine mount somewhere in there since it rattles so much, maybe an engine torque dampener would help.
It idles low, at about 200rpm last year it idle'd at 1000. Idk if it needs new fuel injectors or what but it happened once my belts went, and is still occuring. Honestly it needs some tender loving car.
I have to replace the radiator due to the bogus plastic tank on it crack and I couldn't find a quality replacement so i just ordered a 75$ one with another plastic tank.

Eventually I'd like to do a motor/tranny/drivetrain swap and get a manual in there as I have an automatic and its definetly lost its thrill
Also i don't intend to do this in the near future but I do plan on keeping this for the rest of my life so it is a thought.
So for now I'd like to replace all essential compontents, down to pumps sensors and all that..if you have essential good economic suggestions please let me know. Such as intake exhaust etc etc, you all probably know better then me, but keep in mind the highest efficiency is crucial as I want the civic to be the Reliable a-b gladiator it once was.

But for Now I've just replaced the 2 belts, oil(filter), radiator, due to a small hairline crack in the plastic tank,i was wondering what type i should get too, suggestions welcome(on its way will be tackling tomorrow and could use advice) transmission (50,000 miles ago) I was thinking about doing an engine flush, transmission flush, etc please give me some suggestions on this!

-Suspension: Alright, shocks are blown guys. It sags in the back like i have fat albert with me 24/7 and there are a lot of dirt roads in my area with many many potholes, so I'd like to do a suspension kit. I could definetly use a camber kit, and some direction with where to go on this, i know i need new struts and springs or maybe just a coilover kit? like i said it does get beat on hard.. i also could use swaybars and a skidplate haha

Exhaust: I know I could use a new manifold, pipes cat and tip probably but I lack knowledge in this area, seen as how i'm going for efficiency I'm wondering if theres any way for the excess exhaust to be harnessed to either create energy (to supplement my battery in my audio circuits) or for other use by now.

Anyways other then that If you guys can point me in the right direction give me suggestions or advice it'd be greatly appreciated as my car is the one thing that is really all mine, and I'd like to keep her running tip top.
So thanks in advance for helping me on my goals!
