I have an '02 Spec V, it has AEM Cold Air Intake, and a Magnaflow exhaust. Audio is good to go til something blows up… I want more performance, and don’t ever plan on turboing it cuz thats just too damn expensive. I know I should get a header, but what else should I look at?

:drinkers:

Header then pm graymulligan on vboard for a ghetto Sim  
Jim Wolf Technology Balancer Shaft Removal Kit A.K.A $200.00 Oil change.  
Energy Suspension Motor Mounts or if you are looking for something more solid pm silverstreak on here, I’m sure he can hook you up.  
JWT Camshafts.  
Mossy Performance Short Shifter.  
Locktite Butterfly Screws (If not already done get on it)  
Megan Racing Downpipe  
Unorthodox Racing lightend crankshaft pulley  
SAFC II to Dynotune your car after all your mods affecting Airflow are done Incl. Camshafts (def. do this after camshafts)  
Jim Wolf Technology Clutch and Flywheel  
Nismo: Lower Tie Bar, Rear Sway Bar, Front Sway Bar  
Tien Super Street Coilovers

Umm… Guys anything I’m missing?

Header, so no precat faliure occurs  
BSR  
Mid Pipe  
C&F  
Pulley

SAFC  
Dynotune

Yeah, that list looks decent enough. If you just want a little more overall performance, get your hands on a midpipe, pulley, and sway bars. If you want to go whole hog, get out your wallet and bend over. 😃

coilovers, shocks, rear sway bar, front sway bar and lower tie bar. I would do most of this before spending big bucks on engine mods. Especially if you plan on taking this to auto cross or other racing events.

I just got some new redline tranny fluid gonna put that in, should help tuns with the clunky 02 gearbox. So will the engine mounts and short shifter. highly recomend if that gearbox bugs you a tad. 😃

Do the header and midpipe next - then if you don’t care about warranty do the BSR (or just cut the chain)

ELECTRIC SUPERCHARGER, ONLY $69.50 you can even run it to a switch so that you can turn it on and off so you get better mileage. :lol: That or a VG swap.

VQ swap would be the way to go.

Come on Mike, everyone knows the electric superchargers only make mad JDM horsepowers on Civics. 😃

Around 300-350whp, but I don’t even have the car… I might just buy a slightly used elise instead.
