What's the best for $500?

[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG] Hello...what's up guys and girls, new member here.
Need to know what are the best accesories to increase the performance for under $500? (i.e.: vtec controller, fuel regulator, ignition, etc.).
By the way my car is 2001 Civic Ex. (18" seneka sport, 215/40/18 Yok. Parada, H&R Sport spring)
Thanks anyway.

You can get a Greddy Evo for 499. You might could fine another catback a little cheaper and also get a cold air intake for under 500.

Koni shocks, but that might be over 500, but not by much

Yep, get the shocks. You can't make the car very fast anyway, so you might as well go for handling, and you already have springs.

DC TCS stainless exhaust. Go for looks. or save the 500 and make a little more, then drop the 1200 for the Tein SS damper system if you want to go for suspension.

You cant make the car fast for 500 bucks, but I think a K20 with turbo in our car would make it fast.. but obviously your the expert

You can put a K20 with turbo for $500? That would make you a magician.

You could also put your car in the cargo bay of a 747, to make it go fast, if you really want to.

[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]Thanks for the advice, I am ordering an intake system and planning to add the cat-back exhaust.
Today, I setting up Apexi V-Afc at my friend's car, It makes faster throttle respond but no HP-jump. I belive that is because my friend's car is an automatic.[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/IMG]
Now, I know that I don't need to spend a lot of money with electronic stuff like that since I know the result. Anyway, Thanks again.
