D17a1 non VTEC modifications

I have a 2005 Honda civic dx, that baby is about as base model as it can be. But that’s no fun and not every Honda enthusiast has the resources to be doing engine or computer swaps. I’m purely in it for the fun and I’m trying to squeeze every bit of HP out of a non VTEC D series motor without breaking the bank.

better get an EX model instead.
at the age of these cars, it is not real difference in price anymore.

The only thing you can do is turbo it or swap it
upgrading the suspension will make the car feel/handle better

There’s no economical power modifications worth doing. That’s the objective reality of it. Simply put, any money put into it is better spent just buying a different car.
