Aside from blowing money on nitrous or a custom turbo, I'd say the best way to drop your 0-60mph would be to invest in a shift kit.

Rep Power: 0 I hate to sound negative, as I love my 02 Auto EX Sedan, and would love to make it faster.
But,
Get a 73 2Dr Dodge Charger for $500, pull the interior out, drop a 440 in it and beat it like a red headed step child to 60 whenever possible.
Save the odorless - no wire harness fire - kidneys don't hurt - where the he** did my gas money go - driving to for the Civic!
BTW, Anybody else hate the lame shift gate on these things? I want to (accidently) stick this car in nuetral every time I drive it. I have bumped it to rev limiter numerous times.

What shift kit would you recommend?
Are there any aftermarket shift gates/handles?

Level 10 will do one for our cars. Personally, I prefer to modify an automatic's valve body myself, but since there isn't alot of info out there Level 10 would be the best bet.

Rep Power: 0 Actually, what you do is take those honda/civic/lx emblems, go by a real car like an rx7/supra/wrx/m3/etc and tack those babies on the back.
It's simple, and much cheaper.....heh

Also, it is scientifically-proven that if you apply fat-reducing creme to your Civic, you can increase the acceleration time from the weight reduction. Consult you latest fitness magazine for details.
