hey everyone,
i have an 02 ex coupe, the 1.7lt vtec-e, blah..
befor this i had a 92 hatch with an ls engine..
anyways, so far i have just added intake..
i dont know about going back to this sohc vtec though, i dont wanna drop money into header, exhaust..cam gear..and then feel like i wasted my money, you know?
i mean..the car does ok...on cold days, lol..
but is it really worth it to put money into bolt-ons for this engine?? will i really see some noticable gains or feel the power i had with my ls engine? or even close?
i dont have the money for a turbo kit so thats not an option..well i do but i would rather buy a house instead.
or should i just keep the car as it is? mabey trade it in in a year or so and buy something with more potencial? i would really like one of the new 06 civics, yeah mabey its only a 1.8 sohc but wow have you even sat in one? soooo nice, you dont have to worry about indiglos, seats, cd player..etc, already comes all nice for that stuff..nice rims too.
so what do you all think, spend the money on some bolt ons or, dont waste my money and buy something better in a year?

i personally dont like the 8th gens at all, but i suggest saving up and buying something in a year, bolt on's will only give you about max 10hp- I/H/E
