I recently moved from india and when i arrived i bought a 99 civic ex. I have to say i am impressed. In india i had essentially the same car but, instead of a civic it was called "city". After arriving to the states, i have noticed that you guys are talking about modding your car to perform even better. I am $500 to blow and i was wondering what i should start out with. When i bought the car, it already came equipped with a cat exhaust. I had people tell me to add an air intake but, i don't know whether or not they harm your engine. I would also like to point out that i live in the small town of Bellingham where it rains 75% of the time and that is the reason why i am a bitt hessitant to install a Air Intake. I don't know, maybe i'm just different. Any suggestion.

 

just get a short ram intake. u'll feel a little kick when the vtec engages

 

Thanks

 

You could get a pretty decent suspension setup for about 500 bucks. This would include new lowering springs with new shocks, and maybe even a strut bar to go with it.

 

WERD the suspension sounds good but u could also get a exaust and intake probably some lowering springs if u have money left over

 

reading > joo...true story

 

instead of going step by step so slowely do this steps
1:gather money and do some upagrades of your engine inc.air intake,pollishing your head,maybe camshafts and cat-exhaust...
2)handling...Strut bar,suspension kit(maybe)maybe upgrades brakes
3)if you are not satisfied with your power BOOST IT!

 

Get some pretty wheels. Wheels make you feel good about your car, but they do not make it go faster.
