Ummmm Help
I want to take down some other civics drivin on the road. Only problem is i have a D-series engine. Go ahead laugh it up. I want to know how to sqeeze every last drop of HP out of that thing, but not hurt it. I just want to be able to pull up to a Toyota Echo knowing i have the upper hand and lately i dont feel confident my car will do anything worth a smile. How much HP can you sqeeze out of a D-series anyhow? Tell me Parts and accesories i can get to help me on my way. Thank you for readin.

here is the easiest, cheapest, most efficent way to beat the 02 EX without ruining your fuel economy. nitrous, NX kit
 . No, don't be Fast and the Furious on me, if you know what you are doing it's safe. Your manifold won't suddenly blow up and your floor boards fall out. Just consider your options. Easy way to go....bottom line.

its an auto isnt it? pretty sure the only thing you'd have the upper hand on would be a mountain bike..
how about an auto-5sp conversion?

a lot.... maybe sell the 02' EX, and get a 99SI? im sure that with the money you'd get from having an 02, you could get a 99 si....
b16 under the hood, you should be able to hold up with any civic around.. that isnt pretty highly modified..

  But, all jokes aside, nitrous is the easiest/quickest way to go faster.I'd go ahead and lower my car. Do the basics (intake, DC header, and some sort of exhaust). then get a simple like..60-shot nitrous system. That will tide you over while u work on other things (exterior, interior) and then...K20A motor swap and 6-speed conversion from an RSX Type-S
