i would DIY a nice grounding kit ( http://www.7thgencivic.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=155307 ) and a hyper voltage system. heres sun's. http://www.seffects.com/parts/SUNEHI0002S.htm
theres more than "suns" brand hyper voltage systems.
supposely, it improves a part of your electrical system and gives your car an overall better grounding source which may lead to better performance/gas mileage.
the best bolt on mod i have done would probably be hi flow cat. revs were quicker and smoother

all i can say is, goodluck trying to get power from bolted on performance. if your 5 speed, i would look into a nice clutch, flywheel, pulleys?

Rep Power: 246 it doesnt really matter if the grounding kit isnt exactly for the Civic or you can say universal right? if so will any of the grounding kits on ebay work? such as these:

Anyone know if there is much to gain from a bored throttlebody? And what is needed if you decide to do it. I know that new fuel injectors will most likely be needed. What else?

Rep Power: 253 I got a great grounding kit from www.hardcoretuning.com. High quality, and comes with detailed instructions that include color photos. Also allows you to select from several different colors for your wires. Shipping took a little long, but they seem to be a small company.
