distributor cap- $15
distributor rotor- $5
Fuel Filter - eh around 10 I think
Spark plugs- $25 ( less if you want cheeper ones)
Spark plug wires- $30-100 (depending on brand and size)
PCV Valve- $4
Factory air filter- $10
Cheep cone filter $25
K&N cone filter- $80
Ebay cold air- $30


Definatly do the first few things, bring the motor back to factory running condition before trying to do any power adders.

LOL! There isnt much you can do for performance gains that make a diffrence without spending money. The best you can do is like he said, restore the engine to near factory condition.

take out that airbox...and advance ur timing a lil so when u stomp on the gas...there won't be a delay

[Posey88cvic4dr]

How do you advance your timing?

[BLU CIVIC]

loosen up ur dizzy bolts and rotate it a lil foward...

for best results have the car running while slowly rotating ur dizzy...pull the throttle cable until u get ur desired response

[Civic Jim]

be careful u dont advance ittoo much as this can fuck up cam shafts etc, my mate just messed his up in his Ford

maybe a filter, and some lowering springs would eb a good start
