What's next?
 
I have a 2007 Honda Civic EX auto. I have installed a cat-back exhaust, a cold air intake, a P2R throttle body spacer, and I just got my Megan header/down pipe in the mail yesterday. My question is... What's next on the upgrade list? I'm going to get a Pulley set, and I've been looking into the modified manifold intake. Besides going to a "turbo" system, what else is there that I can do to give it more hp? I don't mind it being loud, as it is already loud!
Oh, and I already know "trade it in for an Si"! I can't see that one happening.. just yet.
Thanks in advance.

do they make an upgrade intake manifold for that engine?

doesn't seem to be anything more as bolt ons go for the 8thgens.. Found a 2.25" downpipe for your car on thmotorsports.com, however.

other that than, either turbo or motor builds. Again, on thmotorsports.com, found some higher compression pistons :shrug:

The 2006-2011 Civic DX/LX/EX (R18 motor) has a very restrictive intake manifold from the factory. This new Weapon R intake manifold intake is 40% larger than your OEM one and will significantly increase airflow. For turbocharged R18 Civic owners, this intake manifold is just about the best add-on you can get!

That's what I see on ProCivic's website. I hear its a pain to install though.

suspension
I can smoke high powered cars easily on me 100-ish engine. they all chicken out in conrners and go to the opposite lane in a 30-ish corner while i am going in-in-in and swerving the line just to play.

"power is nothing without control"

indeed, brakes, suspension, and tires needs upgrade before i try to do anything crazy again. is like using a totally different car. Same thing i have seen with F/I when it becomes out of control, or just not made for that kind of conditions.

fa5 has great suspension features, power steering, the switching between brakes, how it lit on dashboard when a wheel spins on air... good advise

thanks for the input,
