what should i save up for next?
hey,
was just gathering opinions on what i should do next...
save up for a SF turbo?
or like fully upgrade my suspension???
most of you would probably tell me to just go get the turbo, but then what's a fast car with not too great of handling?
just looking for opinions.
thx in advance

Rep Power: 0 Just because you get one doesn't mean you won't get the other some time down the road. It's a lot cheaper to upgrade your suspension than it is to get a turbo. Then again, if you get a turbo, that's one less expensive thing to do. So I guess, do what you can afford and what you want.
GEEZ throw the suspension to the curb and do the turbo man....our cars are good in suspension anyways so its not like it'll be crazy bad around the turns. It'll still beat most other cars like mustangs in handling ability. The turbo with lowered and wider tires = fast and good handling. No brainer in my opinion

Rep Power: 0 A turbo would be great to have on our single cam's but that would mean a lot of cash and work to make ensure safety and to give you good numbers. But no, the suspension on Civics are not good. Not that good at all. I myself am concentrating on suspension, to make it a better daily driver. And then maybe if I decide to keep this car for long, then I'll go ahead and do a K20 swap. How far can a single cam really go? Not as far as a Dohc I-Vtec thats for sure!
I sure wish my car was newer

Ok, now that I've done that, I would go for suspension. I'm considering going FI with my car, but I want everything to be perfect and that to be the finishing touch.

Rep Power: 0 suspension first for sure... not to mention all the other things you need for turbo in the long run when you install.. but can hook up on stock susp[ension, not to mention i would CLOWN a car with stock ish and a turbo.. i mean its tight, but where are the priorities? in my mind, we ALL need to do suspension and exhaust first, then wheels/tires, then go for power... just makes car more fun to drive when everything is in line.. we all start from somwhere... and i think you would regret it a LOT having a fast car that handled like crap and looked stock...
