Andre- I have the same car you do. Don't waste your money trying to make
it faster. If you want to do anything to it, I recommend suspension. It
will handle very well with the right parts. The D16(your engine) DOES
NOT respond to bolt ons AT ALL. You will regret putting any money into
the engine. Unless you are rich or something and you're going to
rebuild and turbo it, don't do anything.

Here's an ideal suspension setup:

15 inch lightweight wheels such as Rota.
some good tires like Falken Azenis or something.
Koni yellows and H&R Sport or some good coilovers like Omni power(entry
level) NOT APC, dropzone, etc.
A good rear sway bar like ITR 22mm(with bracing) or a smaller one like
15-19mm.
Front chassis under brace.
There are other things as well, but with those mods the car will out
handle alot of higher level cars.

If you really want to do engine mods, then here are some pretty cheap
ones. Keep in mind all this will only net you about 30hp at the most.
Y8 (Civic EX) intake manifold and larger throttle body
EX header, and aftermarket High flow cat. ]
A good, quiet exhaust like Apex WS2 or RSR ExMag.( Trust me a loud
exhaust gets very annoying, and doesnt add any power)

Sorry for the long post, but I dont want you to go through what I did,
the frustration of money spent for nothing.
