    Default new civic

    I just got a 97 civic ex 4 door
    not exactly what i was looking for in terms of sportyness but its reliable
    I want to do a few inexpensive mods but nothing big as i dont want to act like im cool just for having a civic
    Anyway its black and as far as looks go i was considering black rims but thats expensive and id rather go for performance first.
    It has a B16 w/ a 5 spd tranny
    any ideas?
    thanks

    B16a2?

    What's the purpose of the car? Daily driver assuming, will it be taken to the track often...whether drag or road course. Do you even care about handling and just want the sound of an intake or exhaust? There's lot's of things to consider, budget being one of them...

    I didn't know what he was talking about. Far as apperance or Performance. He said he didn't want to do much so i figure the swap was enough

    it's a b16, how many civics that year do you know came with a b16? ...it's not a V4, W4, or a boxer, it's an inline 4...it doesn't have headers

    sorry my camera is messed up and i couldnt get pics today

    I dont really plan on taking it to the track it is just my daily driver i just want to make a little more sporty.

    as far as budget goes i dont really have the money to pay for any of it but once i find what i want i will be able to save up the money and make myself get it.

    i will probably put intake and maybe a not to loud exaust something not annoying or anything. any ideas there?

    You will get what you pay for so don't do anything cheap. Header,Catback,Paint. The worst thing ever is before you do anything please lower it if not already. Since it is already swapped i assume you have an intake already. Just drop it on some cool wheels.

    Intake, headers, exhaust. Put a bottle in it with a small shot. Suspension and exhaust. If you want sporty, you need to reduce weight. Gut the trunk, CF hood and trunk lid. Don't do big gay wheels. Unsprung weight=not sporty. Either get some Integra wheels, or just put some steelies on it with some nice aggressive tires. Yokahama is good.
