i got this 2001 civic ex 4dr dont know where to start
 

im wanna know where should a kid like me start the only thing what i want is like most pp is more hp
all im thinkin is intake and exhast first

but what is the the best way for me to start

try this in the search button.... "dezod turbo" "Engine swap" "k20a2"

i dont got that biggest budget in the world man i just enuff to get me started

yep thats the only way and the search button does wonders....:_please:
exhaust and intake are mostly looks and sound then anything....

damn i need alot of money this sucks :(

intake exhaust a drop rims and a non ricey kit, tint? after market lights

2 things. an intake isnt gonna give you very much more power if any. an exhaust might give a little bit but its more for just sound. i would start in the engine bay though. get you a cheap intake off ebay, if its a automatic then a cold air wont work, trust me lol. but you can just take the cai off ebay and throw out the downpipe, basically makes a short ram intake. but yeah there is no cai for a 7thgen automatic, the tranny gets in the way. then get a buttload of wire loom and bundle all the crap in your engine bay. it will make it soo much easier to work in there. then go for either a set of rims or a drop.

i wouldnt replace the tail lights or headlights just yet. unless you put some projectors up front or something. just take and go to summitracing.com and get some niteshades. paint your tail lights adn youll be good to go.

ummm I've had a coldair intake on my auto before just check my gallery I recently changed it to a short ram because I was afraid of gettin water in it after the drop..

funny how people think its cheap to mod your car. :_disgust:

yap agreed

upgrade suspension and get some sticky tires, thats the best you can do with our cars performance wise without spending loads of cash. I/H/E is also good for cosmetic purposes too

other than that, tubo or swap.

Come to think of this, i cant remember how many times this was covered. haha

Edit: IMO of course

Don't bother. The whole modifying thing will suck you in and your wallet will be bone dry until you sell the car. hehe.

ok i stand corrected. but aem never made one for automatics. i wish i would have known that injen made one. i would have bought one of those.

if you want speed, kid, you got the wrong car.....

Yea...

"Yo my boy's '88 civic just got a kit on it... he's savin' up for the paint now... so we're gonna go flat black like that STi in Sport Compact Car! ...and this other guy is tryin' to sell him an axleback from a CRX - he says he's got a hookup for cheap stuff so he's sellin' it to him for $30!"

I remember being in High School and hearing that all the time thinking "One day I'll have my Civic hooked up too!" Now, $9,000 later... I'm getting close to where I want to be. LOL

Save your money... hooking up your car is just as addicting as crack, but more expensive.
