The Cold Air Intake I installed in my 318is increased my HP by 15, and I get alomst 38 mpg (average) with it. It's a nice and worthy investment. Next Stop, Exhaust!

10HP was a guess....im not exact on the output of the Cold air
intake yet. But as for the cost of the civic....

20k pricetag
4k taxes
5k trade-in
3k rims&tire combo
Plus+++ everything else ive got on it or installing yet...

And the car comes 140HP stock (SOHC 1.8L 4CYL)

actually.....the reason i chose the civic i did was because
the torque of DX-G, EX, LX and the Si are relatively close
to each other. Only the HP on the Si is above mine by 50HP
which i can easily achieve. The V-force exhaust I have on
my car sounds just like the Si by what Honda tells me.

another thing ill be changing to get the extra ooomph is
install a RSX 6-speed as this is pretty much what honda
put in the Si models.

With all the money your putting in this thing to make it like an SI you just could have bought the SI.

Another reason I chose the DX-G:

- In order to get an Si model you had to put a deposit down to Honda
before they even started to build one for you which had a 4 month wait.
LamE!

- I got 15" wheels with hubcaps included on the Civic which....
meant i could use the money i saved for the 18" with 40's i have
now installed and still have all seasons for the winter.

- Im not sure how much room is under the hood with the DOHC as
it is already tight with the SOHC, but there is room for a turbo for
my car.

- I also included in the package when i bought this car factory Fog lights
and had Limo tint as part of the trade in too all included.

- This DX-G i have was the ONLY black 5-speed on the lot when i
went there to buy my car.

**Only difference i lost between my DX-G Vs. the LX models was
a moon roof (which i hate anyhow) and cruise control.
So between those to options my car isnt too far off anyhow.

Tor get a body kit with a very areodemanic spoiler then you're car will be rockin' on the areodemanic's! The n you would pick up more speed (better and faster!) Then you get a sick muffler put (Duals) then you would be kickin' it down the street! I have seen a guy with a green cavalier he has a supercharger in it and some nos body kit spoiler and more stuff like that! He just rips it around I can't believe how fats that car is! gross colour though :$

a body kit will give you aerodynamics as long as its a Full kit
around the whole car and the vehicle is right to the ground,
as the wind doesnt get so much undeneath the car lifting it.

as for the wing ,this puts force on the rear of the car under
high speeds....


so, yes....he is right you guys!!
