Question Lack of speed....

I have 2002 civic Lx coupe, AND it is an Automatic, I know what you are thinking, why did he get an Automatic? I thought at the time that I didn't want to have to worry about shifting so much with living in the city and all, but my question is, how could I get more power out of my 4 banger auto? Please, let me know your thoughts on this

kamakazi, HP, DC Sports Header are all available for 7thgen civics.

note the non-plural use of header. you dont have 2 headers in on your engine...just one.

civicdude will become famous soon enough
Search the forum...Plenty of information in here....You will find something....Your not going to get that much power out of a d17 Automatic though. Our cars are not built for performance, they are built for economy.

Yeah, that intake exhaust combo will have the most gains up top anyhow... depending on how you drive your auto, it's a bit if a waste.

yup, those bolt on's are pretty much your only options. remember that your car is only a 4 cyclinder and it's auto. it will never be that fast.
