ok im talkin about real power. i have a 2007 civic ex coupe. currently has a stock 1.8 4-cyl 5-speed manual transmission. no aftermarket suspension or anything...ITS COMPLETELY STOCK hahacost is a factor of course. it tends to lean a lot when i turn. i would just like some steps to making it quicker, have higher top speed, and handle better. i love the civics and would love to have more fun















Thanks!

I'd say try to put an air intake in there. OR you could do an engine swap with an Accord (2.2 liter) or Acura RSX engine. I wonder if the civic would be able to handle a larger engine though...Civics were not made to be sports cars though only for great gas mileage. ; )

trade for an si.

if you have the money do an engine swap b16 or h22 and if you dont have the $ do cold air intake new headers full exhuat and a sway bar

Intake, Exhaust, Header, Sway bar front and rear (progress is that way to go here)...Most will tell you to lower your car but i'll tell you that if you love your car, dont lower it, it just makes every little rattle worse and worse until eventually, shit starts breaking, even on an 07. Intake, exhaust, header, and sways will run you from $500-$1000, from there i would say to get larger rims, and if you dont have an ex do the drum to disc swap, its not that difficult since the ex has them and they offer much better braking. and then from there you can do some N/A engine work if you wanted (cam, Valvetrain) or you can go turbo or you can drop in the K from the Si without much trouble, but for just come more fun i would say to just do intake, header, exhaust, sways, rims, brakes, and cam if you want. good luck!
