My current mods are on my Member's Rides page.

What I want next are the Progress Group's sway bars. The rear one has an integrated tie bar. I'll need the rear mounting kit too since I have a 2001 LX. Then I'll probably either get an exhaust or get a welder and make my own. I also want a new shift **** and e-brake handle. Then I want some grey suade and I want to make a custom boot for both the shifter and e-brake. Then the turbo! [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

oooh... thanks guys! keep them coming!

quite a split between those that are working on apperance and those that are working on performance...

most are people that already have quite a list of mods going on..

what about those that haven't got anything yet? whats the first thing you want?

Mostly everyone on this site is working on appearance. No one on this sites gets a CAI for performance. They get it for looks. Same with strut bars and whatnot. The people who actually care about performance here are few and far between. Hard to find IMO. Not that there's anything wrong with that. I just don't like people saying "performance" and "CAI" in the same paragraph unless it's to descredit a relationship between the two. (when it comes to 7th gen civics anyway)

Excuse me, I think I may be bitter today. : )

Ayway. Previous mod - Progress 22mm Sway Bar/Tie combo with Adapter Kit to mount on a DX.
Future Mod - Type RS Front Lip, OEM Aero sides, OEM rear, Progress Front Sway Bar.

Car:
2001 LX Sedan Automatic

Current mods:
Magnaflow Exhaust
Neuspeed Sport Springs
17" American Racing Type SR Wheels wrapped in Kumho Supra 712 Tires
TYC Projectors with M-Tech Bulbs
Reverse Indiglo Gauges
Pioneer Premier P7400-MP Deck
Legal Tint
Custom Lighting (a few LED's)

Future Mods:
Injen OR FIPK II Intake
Header
Body Kit (Still deciding what combo to go with)
Upper & Lower Grills
Carbon Fibre Altezza Taillights
Fog Lights

M3 Mirrors

There's more I'm sure, my opinion changes on a daily basis. But that's my plan for the moment ...

Edit: I forgot to add that I plan to get an Alarm system, & possibly a remote start setup as well. Oh, and a new shift ****, and perhaps a new e-brake handle. Black leather interior. It all depends on money though, so one step at a time.

I think people work more on looks than performance because, let's face it, there's not much we can do with our engines. There's only so much HP you can squeeze out of it.

Oh yeah, Future Mods:
Camber Kit
Lowering springs
OEM bodykit (maybe just front lip)

I'm getting rims this weekend for my birthday. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG]

After that, tint the windows and I'm done with the outside.

I'm really eager to get a new intake manifold so that's next. If that meets my expectations, I'll finish off the rest of my suspension mods and finally dump cash in the engine again.

My last mod was a set of 17" rims so no more mods that I plan on doing right away. But I may do the upper and lower grille. A drop may happen but not right now. But besides that just get this ride payed down to almost nothing then trade in.

hmm. lots of rims.

I'm pretty much going to record all these.. so more the merrier.

as for "performance" mods... most get the CAI and etc. because they believe its performance.. although I beg to differ... they are still not exterior apperance mods... in either case its easier to seperate them. heh.
