Modern turbo diesel - ECU remap every time.

Petrol (non-turbo) probably start using high octane fuel - leave it alone, there's not a lot to be had though maybe a decent air filter would help along with top class spark plugs

If I could only put 1 mod on my Civic, it would be some 18 inch chrome rims!

18" tyres cost a fortune tho. Even modest brands will leave you with a three figure dent in the wallet for one tyre. They do look nice though. As long as you've got monster 400mm brake discs alround as well.

Oh yeah, they cost a lot...but you can only choose 1 mod so I'll be saving money on everything I wouldn't do...therefore I'll go for something expensive!!
