Save your money man. The honda civic will never be a "performance racer." If you want a fast car, than you shouldn't have purchased a civic.

your basic intake, header, exhaust, hi flow cat would yield a whooping 2-7hp.

with every aftermarket performance part in the N/A route will only yield you like 8-15whp? thats after spending thousands of dollars of course

if you want it to be a "race" car, turbo is your only route. im sure you dont want to swap as its still a brand new car. sorry to say, the 01+ civic (exclude SI), is no performance car.

^^^ Very true and they can be quite good with the right setup, but they are less than spectacular in the stock form.

just crash yur car or something so its a total loss and use the insurance money to buy something fast. then use the money u WERE going to spend on the vic and make it faster.
