Re: What are the first mods you did or will do?
welcome to the site and the firsts mods i did were intake and a full exhaust. if you search around you will see plenty of threads with similar topics to this and opinions/reviews of pretty much any mod that you can think of beginning with.

Seems like everyone's in the business of making their cars sound like trash. First things I did was a flip out DVD screen/player and 2 way pager alarm system.

Re: What are the first mods you did or will do?
When my si rolls in im going to start with a full exhaust system, hopefully from magnaflow because eventually I plan on going turbo.(i dunno if its the best choice, but i hear good things about them) probably new headers because i want to make the car useful while daily driving with a turbo, any thoughts on that would be good too! haha
ps, and dont laugh, but I want an exhaust system that dosen't sound like a weed whacker, not TOO loud, and deep, not high pitched and whiny, i want my engine to be louder than my pipes. any suggestions?

Re: What are the first mods you did or will do?
Although I only suggest using genuine Honda OEM parts, I have to admit that I got a little on the wild side on my first modification and purchased these new windshield wiper blades that were in the color of my car. I dont know what got into me, but I got rather risky and purchased these instead of Honda OEM parts. But they are nice and a wild first modification that I made to the 100% factory civic of mine. I got such an adrenaline rush when I installed them, and I haven't had an adrenaline rush for nearly 20 years!

Re: What are the first mods you did or will do?
First few I did.. in this order..
"Super white" headlight bulbs
Tein S-tech springs
Weapon R Dragon Intake
Sound System (head unit, sub)
Apex'i WS-II exhaust
Kamikaze Ceramic Header
Revo Technica Short Shifter
TYC Projectors
Plug n Play HID kit
Neuspeed front upper strut bar, rear lower tie bar, front x-brace
Tokico Blues
ended up revamping everything (some a few times) until I got the setup I have now..
P.S. Whee for adding to a hella old thread.. lol

Re: What are the first mods you did or will do?
^ Yay, an intake that filters absolutely nothing. Now that youve spent the 30 bucks, go back on ebay and search. AEM dry flow filter civic and buy one of those for that cheap intake. And presto, you have a sweet intake that actually filters something!
Re: What are the first mods you did or will do?
Why do any performance mods? If u want a fast car( and 15 sec is not fast) dont buy a honda! Buy a real car thats rear wheel drive and more displacement than a 2 liter if Coke! Civics r good cars for what they were intended for which is being a reliable, fuel efficient daily driver. NOT A SPORTS CAR!!!

Re: What are the first mods you did or will do?
I lowered it first with Tein Basics, then got new sounds, and new wheels. Next on the list is a DOHC VTEC, new exhaust, turbo kit, bored cylinders, bigger pistons, aggresive cams, cold intake, bigger manifold and throttle body.etc
