All show and no go = Rims and drop

All go and no show = Turbo or swap!!

It's as simple as that.

With 2000 bucks?
Volks, Advans, Spoonies, hell just pick one.

Of course if you want to also have some money to drop it, back it off a little bit... but please... if you're planning on spending that much at once, please don't go super cheap on the rims.

Buy some serious rims. They make the car. I'd probably go for some BBS rims if you can find some with our bold pattern. Get good tires, too. No cheapies.

You already have few performance mods. It is time to get a nice set of coilover and rims.

If you don't want to get coilover then
drop it with springs, rims and body kit.

if you want to go for looks get some rims with a good drop, and get some new interior seats.
or.............
for performance wise, start buying some parts for a custom turbo setup.

A jet chip is a computer upgrade.
Here is the web site so you can read more.

As for the turbo I don't beleive that there is a company that mass makes them yet.
There are some on this sit that have made the upgrades from scratch or had a shop do it for them.

My thoughts exactly. Sell some of your n/a performance parts and go for boost.

Have any of you guys tried a Jet chip on their Civics? Is there noticeable performance advantage? Are there dyno charts to prove any performance gains?

Thanks!!
