Having a little speech-impediment there? Man alright if you want more acceleration just save up for a nitrous kit... most bang for your buck. Cold air intake wouldn't help much... maybe 2-3-4hp max. Exhaust would help some... maybe new pulleys. Not much you can do to a civic lx to make it fast without spending money.

Okay, with that out of the way, I am moving this to the CIVIC forum where it belongs. That way you will get a better response.

Slacker... I could not agree more. I've never laughed so hard in my life when I saw that picture... I was way too nice in my first reply! My friends said they have never seen anything that F-ing stupid as that wigger's question in their whole life.

Well, with an auto civic your not going to get much out of it. You could put like a 30 shot of NOS on there. :bloated:

I would stay away from the intake though, unless you are planning on doing more than just that.

Welcome to AF btw. Don't take things too serious here, we all like to have fun. :D

Everyones right.. With out spending money your pretty much SOL. You probably should have bought an older Turbo Charged car or something. My suggestion is to save your money till you have enough for some sort of Forced Induction: Nitrous, Turbo, Supercharger.. Thats really the only way you will get better acceleration.

Or if you want to be a dumbass try some nuetral drops.. Thatll always help your take off..

Ok, ok... After lots of thought Ive figured out what you need... Stickers and lots of them... The bigger stickers you get the faster youll go, but the smaller stickers will allow you to get more mods on which may add up to more hp..

Heres the HP ratings per sticker:
1.) 5-10 HP for the little Company logo style stickers that you get when you order something.

2.) 15-20 HP for medium size stickers ranging up to windshield banners, etc.

3.) 30-50 HP for the large ones that take up the side of your car.

An auto will get off the line quicker than a manual. But without spending money you could buy some 13" wheels and smaller tires and your gearing would be effectively changed and you would acclerate quicker, but if you have ABS I wouldn't recommend this.

No, I am far from it. But I AM ashamed to share this country (I assume most of you are American) with people so uneducated and ignorant as to make the blatant errors in public forums such as this one. Unfortunately I suffer from a syndrome that makes my eyeballs fall out of their sockets when I read posts like this guy's. I can't help but make an attempt at humorously correcting people, but this is the worst I have ever seen.

By the way, you're missing a comma, Chris.
