Yes an official topic :)
Personally.. [With what model/make/year your car is]..
List your preferred upgrades, approx how much they are, approx HP/ or other improvement they give [Tires- grip etc] and your personal opinion.
Can range from dropping a whole new engine in to a simple air filter :)

Hey, i got a 1990 Civic Si, and the best mod i have done so far is the ZC TRANNY with SI Final Drive!!!! and while doing this, upgrade your clutch also, i got a Exedy Clutch, and i love it!!! And i know a bunch of other people on this board have it too, and they can vouch for it also!
That and get a CAI, I have a AEM CAI and this thing has a K&N Filter on the end of it and it gave me better gas mileage and it sounds fukin awsome!!! its soo damn loud, but not like an exhaust, and its loud at WOT! but regular throttle, it sounds like a normal car, but when you puch it, it sound awsome!!!

1991 Civic LX Sedan
Only upgrades I have are intake and exhaust
exhaust probably adds about 3-5 hp
intake probably adds about the same
If I really wanted to do something good to my car I would get Multi Point Fuel Injection (4 injectiors instead of two, they also are bigger)
But im too lazy to do that:p

1990 JDM SiR import
Ummm mods? Hmmm...
Finerfilter air filter insert
Jamex Suspension (shocks matched to lowered progressive rate springs)
Spoon Strut brace
Aussie/JDM VTiR Mags
On the list:
Mandrel bent exhaust (factory is crush bent)
High flow catalytic convertor and high flow muffler (assuming I can get them custom made to match the JDM originals.
Larger rear stabiliser bar (22mm)
Rear strut brace
Maybe upgrade the cams in the B16A, but not right now.

i have an 89 Si with a sohc vtec. why? it was $500 (12,000 miles on it). only other things needed are ECU $150 and wiring harness $150.
the next step will be a "junkyard turbo". it costs around $2000 and you can run 10 psi vs others which cost more & less psi.
12 sec civic (http://www.turboclutch.com/jrhonda.htm) ...this one is a junkyard turbo on the dx d15 engine
thedropshop (http://www.thedropshop.tv/cheapo) ...a fellow 4th genner. see him for a junkyard set-up :D :jump:

It also looks like that one but reversed. yours angles to YOUR drivers side which is our passengers side so yours would not fit on USDM cars :P

so have I. Big F Deal. If you're gonna get upset over something as mundane as that, then you deserve to be insulted. :p

Yeah, Phillips headunit. Not too shabby at all for the price I paid for it :) It's coming out soon, to be replaced with a MP3 player instead :D Seeing as I have more than a few CDs with MP3s burnt on them, it's the only way to go :)
That's the infamous servo-controlled climate control yes. Works pretty well, unless you just want fan driven air from outside. It doesn't do that :( Wind a window down instead :(
