Default tryin to modify

I recently purchased a 2003 civic EX coupe. The downside is that it is an automatic. Don't ask I don't know why I got an automatic. Does anybody know where to get good performance parts for this model. Also does anyone know if there is a supercharger or turbo kit for the 1.7 liter V-TEC???

Well, I say work with what you have. If it's an auto, so be it. Or you could trade it in for a 5 speed. I don't think JR came out with a SC yet, but I'm sure there is a turbo out there somewhere. If you do FI to an auto, be ready to upgrade the transmission.

I'll say it again.

Call them and ask what they have for your year car. The manual guys have to buy upgraded clutches with their turbos. You'll need a shift kit and a torque converter. When you ship them your transmission for modification, my best advice is to just go ahead and throw your wallet in there with it.
