Hi all I have posted in the 'Hello' forums but most probably don't visit there after your first time!!!
I have a relatively untouched Honda Civic Coupé 1997 model 1.6L and she's running pretty smoothly 14yrs on! Having got my hands on her only last year I would really like to improve performance but with limited engineering knowledge and general knowledge restricted to 'Pimp my Ride' (sad sad sad eh!!!) I could really do with you guys giving me a brief run down of what is worth the money and what isn't!
I am not contemplating changing the engine, I just fancy bringing her into the Teenies rather than the 90's!
Having done a couple of hours searching online about induction kits I am more confused than clued up!!! A friend reccomended a K&N cold feed induction kit but one website reccomended a foam filter to which he said it would clog up over time and they are not as good. K&N also offer a million mile guarantee but for performance based results what are you're reccomendations?
Once the induction kit is fitted what should me next port of call be?
The effect I would like is a bit more speed off the line and a nice healthy noise while hitting the accelerator!
I'm not able to spend great amounts all at once especially as I won't be showing the car at events or anything like that.
Please could you also reccomend any interior websites as I'd like to change the seats but not sure what is a good fit...etc?
Thanks guys
