yup what they said. and whill your at it you can do a nice tune up. sparkplugs, fresh oil, adjust the valvetrain, plug wires. stuff that cheap and easy to do.

Skunk2 IM
B series TB
Nice Header
High Flow Cat
Good Exhaust - 60mm or less, no more though. It would be too big.

If your up to is, Cam and valve train with a cam gear. Cam gear wont be needed until you have cam and valve train.

Damn, your Civic runs 16's! That's sick bro! :shock:

I'm curious about the potential of a four door LX model with a D15B7. (Like my friend's Civic) What if you went with all of the bolt-ons (I/H/E) and heat wrapped the headers? How much HP could it hypothetically make? The auto sedan only weighs about 2,400, (According to wiki) which is light! My thinking is that even though the gains won't be big, they'll still make a difference, because of the weight being so low.

Any of you D-Series owners fully bolted? How much HP is your Civic putting out? (At the crank or wheels)

My bad dude. I didn't think my question would be considered a high-jack, since it's essentially the same as yours. I guess I forgot to consider the fact that yours is a VTEC! :roll:
