Intake
Header
Exhaust
on stock motors you shouldnt run any more than a 75 shot. to be safe id run a 55 shot. and just so you know, you must use premium fuel when yuo have nitrous or any form of forced iduction(turbo, supercharger, nitrous)

nitrous is probably the absolute best bang for the buck when it comes to us broke college kids, its relatively cheap compared to the badass turbos and superchargers (that we save every penny for)

In my opinion, save your money. Intake/header/exhaust won't give much of a increase in performance and aren't worth the money (although they look much cleaner in an engine bay). Exhaust may also lead to tickets depending on where you live and what exhaust you get.
Save your money for maintanence costs down the road. Keep your car well maintained and it will last a long time.
If you must upgrade your car, I'd spend your money on suspension first. It will lower you some depending on what springs you go with, but it will make it more fun to drive.

I would save up for a turbo kit. YOu will find 2 type's of people on here. The ones like Joe that are all motor guys and then guys like me, shmoo and such that are the turbo guys. I would tell you to save and buy a turbo kit. Either put together or full greddy,ext. Either way you go just make sure your happy with what you do. Lots of people just go by what others say and at the end they are unhappy and hell.

As much as I would like a truly fast car, I'm thinking a somewhat "quick" Civic is all I need. I can't afford the parts, don't have the time, and can only imangine where my insurance would go with a ticket or two.
