Default 2003 Civic EX Questions

I own a new 2003 Civic EX, the engine in it for those who don know is a d17a2. My planned add ons for the engine is either an Apexi N1 or apexi GT Spec exhaust, t04/t3 turbo charger w/a front mounted intercooler w/a 6 in well(fits in the stock bumper), a Vortech T-Rex 50/70 fuel pump, blitz boost controller, blitz turbo timer, a HKS blowoff valve....... and maybe eibach 2in lowering springs. I was wondering what else i should do to the engine to make it faster. Thanks

Excuse my ignorance, but what is the point of buying a new Civic and spending thousands to boost performance, when you could have just bought an RSX-S?

Yes..to buy a brand new civic and worry about performance is pointless, could have bought something a lil faster with that money...

theres plenty of things you can do to make the 7th gen faster...just wait for the manaufacturers to produce more products before you dump a bunch of money on it now...if you want turbo as of right now the best turbo for its buck i've seen so far which is still custom is the kit from SF...that shit is pretty quick and would burn all these trash talking bitches bashing the 7th gen here...but if you want faster the k20a2 is your best bet but will cost you a liver...and swaping it with a b18 is useless cuz the k20 is the future...
