what to do w/ a '95 civic EX?

I basically agree with previous postings. I'd differ slightly in my course of action, like skipping getting aftermarket rims and instead getting an intake first and foremost, than exhaust and header, and then lower the beast (steep driveway/street interface can be worked with if you drive up or down it carefully). For the rims thing, I guess it depends on where you live. I've found that unless you go for some real low key aftermarket rims, getting rid of your factory wheels is the first thing a car thief will notice and draw him to your car. Remember there are Honda rims that are a little nicer looking than your stockers and fit bigger tires that can be had a lot cheaper than aftermarket and don't make your car stick out as much. Of course, since you already have your Rage 5.0's, and since this advice also comes from someone who doesn't give a rat's ass about looks and is all about building a Honda for power and handling, these points are moot.

lol, you have some issues don't you? j/k

I hear getting intake and exhaust is best, but I never get a chance to race in my town, so looks are more important to me than performace, although performance is nice.

very clean clean those tires up and give us a close up

[Darkwing]
