Default I need suggestions for performance parts on a 2005 Honda Civic.

It's an LX, so it doesn't have Vtec.

I was wondering if you guys had any suggestions that could help give it more power without hindering the gas consumption.

Quickest, somewhat cheap mod that will likely help your gas mileage and give you some power (not much) is going to be a cold air intake. But, if you live in an area that rains a lot I do not recommend it. Just buy a turbo and be done with it. :chuckles:

Checkout our sponsors for parts.

nhatters, do you even redline your car? If you don't rev it up to redline, then you're not tapping into the power potential of your car. That's the cheapest (free) mod to increase performance: use your car to its full potential. And when you're not revving high, you get the same gas mileage as before.

BTW, switch to synthetic oil and change your transmission fluid on schedule.

I agree with all the forced induction posts....
