I have finally obtained my goal of the money i need to get something good on my car. I have read all the threads on stuff and got alot of advice from you all. i have gotten stuck because there are 4 things that i cant decide on what to get so i was wondering if you could give me ur opinion or experience with this stuff n whether it was good or bad

1.Nitrous Express Wet Kit - 50-55 shot
(stock except intake and exhuast)

2.Axis Spider 18' hyper black rims
(i have 17' tenzo r passion five gunmetal rims)

3.Indash Pioneer N1 screen
nvr had ne screen

4.Air suspension
(currently have eibach springs)

flipBloodracer 11-04-2004 09:56 PM

swap and boost all the way...thats the only way...

civictuner 11-04-2004 10:16 PM

nitrous... cuz our Civics are so maxed out from factorie that all you can possibly do is
1.swap
2.turbo/super
3.nitrous

me?? ill take all the above, turbo though but not super

but if u want those choices i'd go 4 nitrous

haha notice how you all choose somethin i dont even have listed? hahah i dont have that much money nor am i willing to wait ne longer for something. but thanks for the advice

TeLLy 11-05-2004 12:06 PM

I'm not sure if you have good shocks already but if not that money could be put to use on a coilover setup with the appropriate sway and strut bar upgrades. If you have that already, then I'd go for the screen. No need to go with NOS, you'll just be hurting your engine anyway, and the total amount you'd spend fixin it back up, added to install, would = swap territory. Of course, you COULD upgrade your rims, sell the old ones, and take that money to use towards suspension...it's all about balancing right?

CarboyHieu86 11-05-2004 12:07 PM

indash pioneer not so good, alpine is better cuz i got the alpine in dash

Danka02 11-05-2004 03:24 PM

never really been a nitrous fan, but i think those rims are fukin awsome, but i would have to say air suspension since you have nice rims already

incubus7d 11-05-2004 03:28 PM

TURBO or air-ride, rims dont matter that much, and a tv who cares

Changu-San 11-05-2004 04:10 PM

go for looks :D air ride all the way!

johnnyslil01ex 11-05-2004 09:58 PM

I dunno, depends on if you want speed, or looks.......speed go nitrous, Ive been spraying for 65k and have had no issues.....looks go air ride cause its fun and it freaks people out when you pankake in front of them, lol

if you go nitrous or turbo, you will have to beef up your internals and clutch. you will end up dumping alot of money into the car. if you want speed, do the swap. otherwise go for looks and get the other stuff.

XSRCivic 11-06-2004 05:06 PM

nitrous is cool and can be dangerous unless you dont abuse it.. i suggest building some of the engine components before using it to be a more on the safe side. 18's wont do any good for performance they will slow you down even more but they do look damn good. the tv is just another reason for somebody to break in your car and take it. my suggestion, if you really wanted some more speed you would be askin about turbo vs swap.. i say go for looks and get you a beater to build up like a crx with a b18 or something to use for a race car.. get the 18's and the bags.. build the civic to look good and then have another car to race with.

or perhaps sell your car and buy this..

snowboreddave 11-06-2004 05:06 PM

dude, invest that money into some Teins, Neuspeed front strut bar, nice tires, and rear sway bar.. you'll be happy.

player 11-06-2004 05:26 PM

dont get noz, save up some more, or maybe get a body kit. and start with a new header

izmaxx 11-06-2004 05:34 PM
