I'm assuming its a hatchback. dropping 500lbs does wonders to your acceleration time. And I have a feeling you modded it. I said stock ex's.

and I don't have an ex.

The only "bolt-on" worth doing for that car is a turbo kit. I/H/E will add minimal power on that tiny 1.6L - not worth the money IMO.

If you don't have enough money for a turbo kit quite yet, I would opt for a nice spring/shock combo and maybe some lightweight wheels with sticky tires.

My 92 Sedan barely had over 100HP, but i had Koni Yellows w/ H&R sports on sticky tires and it was still a lot of fun to drive. :thumbup:

:goodjob: I totally agree. Am there also.

Sticky tires, lighter rims, slightly stiffer springs with adjustable struts = FUN TO DRIVE.

Oh... and switch to synthetic and change your tranny fluid. The smoothness makes it feel like new again.

'98 dx COUPE with a Cold air intake from an ex, dc 4-1 header and a custom crap exaust (first time modding, it's all better now). 17 inch rims with no weight reductions and subs in the trunk, prob 2 10inch at the time. 60 foot 2.2
