Ok, so my grandma got her license taken away and now i ended up with her completely stock 2000 Civic Cx and was wondering where you guys think I should start..

 

:squint: Figure Out if You Want A Show Car, Performance Car,or Both
:squint: Get A Job
:squint: Earn Money
:squint: Earn More Money
:squint: Earn Even More Money
:squint: Then Save Money
:squint: Save More Money
:squint: Save Even More Money
:squint: Then Buy Rims, A System, Performance Parts and More Great Mods
:squint: And Please, Please, Don't Make Another Ricer to Be Shunned Upon By Import owners and Haters

 

Most important of them all.

Depends on what you want to do with it. Do you want to do minor mods to get it to sound nicer or to get a slight amount of power? Or do you wanna swap out the sohc with a nice b series?

 

or, put in a d with vtec and turbo that. i hope its a 5spd, seeing as how ur granny owned it, i imagine its auto tho

 

If it's auto:

Sell it, then buy another Civic that's 5spd.

Then the list posted above

 

first you need to SWAP. even if u just want to go show route, a CX motor is just not enough..

i suggest an integ motor, B18B1 LS motor or B18C1 GSR motor for the wealthy

 

It's a 5 speed. I probably want to go the power route seeing as how the things is slow and pissing me off just driving it around. thanks for the suggestions. So save for a swap, and in the mean time where should I start? Intake. Headers, Exhaust? I'm not sure but i have not seen many parts for this model.

 

How have you not seen many parts for a 96-00 Civic??

 

If you want it faster, start with an engine swap and work from there.

If you start modding the engine you have now, you'll end up broke and disappointed.

 

don't waste ur money on i/h/e till u get the swap. you can work on suspension till then for instant gratification, good handling makes it fun
