need more HP!
I know this is such a noob question...forgive me.
I have a 94 civic lx sedan and i love it. Theres no way im getting rid of it. Just one thing, ITS SLOW. It is very slow. Sometimes its embarrassing when im at a red light and some old broken down car beats me off the line. The only thing i have done to it is a cold air intake and exhaust. Considering i am 17, I am willing to spend a good amount of money on this car, but not too much. I just want to know what would be the best item(s) to get in order to gain more hp and have a decent quick car. My friends tell me to get rid of it because there is no point but i dont listen. I love this car adn i know it has potential. Thanks for all the help.

LOL! It's better than my 95 DX economy ed. that I had XD But actually mine was decently quick cause it didn't have the A/C and PS pump running on the engine and weighing down the car. I used to beat my friends 92 Integra LS up and down the streets at lights and stuff 
been there done that

lol he said that he didn't want to spend much money.. WCS has a fully built swap with a turbo setup.. this costs money which he said that he didn't want to spend.
Look, save u'r cash & learn as much as u can about turbo, i'm sure u can build a home made kit for the 500-800 range if u'r smart about it. Good luck bud.

if the cars a 5 speed then u can get it to run alot faster but not to the the point where you be smokeing si's or something. i have a dx coupe and ever since i bought it, i have did about 100 lbs of weight reduction, took off ac belt, ac, add intake, exhaust, grounding kit, 7mm spark plug wires, and gotten lighter wheels. i gotta admit it was alot quicker than i got it, but not to the point where i can beat si's or something...
