Why is my car so slow...Yeah so I have a 2001 Civic EX, 101,000 miles. V2 Intake, Evo2 exhaust, dc sports race header (no cat), exedy stage 1, and act streetlite flywheel. And i drove my friend's bone stock 2002 Civic EX with 89,000 miles and it is faster than my car. What gives? what could be wrong with my car. Recently changed spark plugs, fuel filter, oil, input shaft bearing. Everything is well maintained. HELP!?? No CEL's or anything.

Heh.. sorry!

You may want to try a compression test if you've exhausted all other options. That way you can see how the internal health of the engine is.

You can get a compression test kit at Sears or any automotive hardware shop fairly cheap.

Whats your oil pressure at? Reason I say that, friend has a 2001 ex and he was loosing power when he got into the high in miles. He had the crank shaft bearing replaced and he could tell a difference in power.
