Default 1996 Civic?????'s

I just picked up a 96 Civic EX auto trans..... What are the best mods out there to help it get out of it's own way? Besides going to deep inside the engine just yet! Is this a good starting platform for performance mods?
Thanks
Bill

wat he said. if it was mines, i would do suspension work first. no point gettin i/h/e that would net very low gains. i would go suspension, brakes, rims, and exterior stuff ie headlamps, lips, mirrors, ect.

I have been seeing that in other cars also! I guess I was hoping for a little more than what it has!

you purchased a money pit, if you own an evo 8, use the civic for the daily grind, put any money performance related towards the evo.
