Hey guys, i just wanted to say that i'm new to the whole import scene much less the civic scene. I have a 1997 civic ex with 103k miles that i got from my uncle and im looking to beef it up a little does anybody have any suggestions?

im 17 (not much money)and not very engine smart, but i know how to get around the engine a little.

Here are a list of things i have done since i recieved it

GReddy evo 2 exhaust

K2 motor halo projector headlights

17'' rims with nexen tires


....

a lot huh? lol after the exhaust what should be my next move, im looking into struts that ride smooth. Any ideas?

i would really appreciate it

i included a picture hope you like it

 

intake and headers...... same thing as everyone else, not feelin the headlights though.. look to chromey

 

is meghan racing a decent company? because the price is cheap

 

Megan is good stuff. I have had thier catback and header, both good products. Id go ahead and get a Megan header, some kind of cold air intake, and lower it. With 17s and looking for something smooth, Id get some Tein S-Tech springs and Tokico shocks.

 

i wouldn't buy megan racing anything besides their header and strut bars

the exhaust sounds bad IMO, i hate fart cans. quality is probably good though, like their header

 

Agreed

 

nah i think im a good driver and a safe one, i only open it up by myself or with a friend

 

Huh?? how does that have anything to do with actually driving "safe"
1. "opening it up" anywhere besides the track etc., is usually considered "unsafe" by most.
2. Ok, say you only step on it when your by yourself (I won't even comment on the 'or with a friend' part), what happens when you continually get on the gas, come around a turn just a little too fast, slide out and crash..... it happens. That's what happened with my 98 Civic...totaled.

I am not saying you are a bad driver, accidents do happen. Statistically, it happens more so to us younger drivers (I'm just about 23 now)

***Forgot to add... Welcome to the site, and I agree with Trust, the Megan header is fine, as long as you are not in CA, but the cat-back is basically a fart can***

 

lol open up a almost stock y7 or 8 hehee

 

haha was thinking the same thing.


Anyways, I think im a good driver, yet I have totaled 1 car, crashed the current one I have now, and have gotten two tickets. I have been driving a little over 2 years now. I'm a good driver when I dont speed or mess around, which us young men have a very hard time doing. Just be safe, you crash when you least expect it.

And back on topic, I personally like the headlights. As for the megan header go for it as long as your not in cali because it wont pass emissions. But before you get the header I would look into a drop first. Figure out how much you want to drop and go from there. Your out to a good start tho.
