thats the thing though man, you said you were looking for a little bit of hp, but does the wing give you hp? or the ugly rims? no so you are just in my opinion contradicting yourselff from the questions you are asking, looking for little hp doesnt do nothing, if you dont plan on doing a lot for the civ then dont do it sell all that stuff you bought for your car to look fast then stock it, thatsreally all you can do.
i didn't buy any of that stuff to make it look fast, NOR did i even think that it would make the car faster. obviously heavy rims slow the car down, you don't think i thought about that when i bought them??? and the wing is just what i have been looking for all along when i was originally looking to buy a civic. i have written down time and time again, I HAVE GOTTEN RID OF THE CHROME RIMS FOR THE WINTER!!!! they are gone, off for now. they are just for show in the summer time. isn't anywhere around here to race if i did want to, so that does not matter to me. look, all i am looking for is a few simple mods that will add a couple of HP's here and there. if you want to help me out and give me some ideas, pulleys, cam, rods, pistons, whatever, then help me out...if you just want to b***h and complain about how bad the car looks or what your opinion is, the go elsewhere with that s**t. i'm lookin for help, if you ain't lookin to help, then don't waste my f**kin time.
BUT, that grand national is sick, whats under the hood on that thing. my dream car is actually a GNX, hopefully get one of those in the near future.
on the car now, i've got a few simple add-ons...
AEM CAI
DC Sports Ceramic 4-2-1 Header
DC Sports TCS Exhaust
Nology HotWires (i know they add nothing, but they're red and i got them for $20.00)
KYB GR2 shocks
Skunk2 Coilovers (dropped 1.5 in front, 1.0 in back)
-thats basically it for the "performance" add ons, everything else is cosmetic. i know losing weight free's up HP, but the wing is going nowhere and the rims stay off for the winter season, back on for the summer just for show, who doesn't like the look of chrome rims
na, personally, i don't give a s**t what the others think, just how i'm liking it. i heard the porting helps a little, but also heard that you have change up how the fuel flows thereafter. the polishing doesn't do a thing though, correct?
hey fix it to your liking not others.. guys we are here to help not be critics, what kinda s**t is that clowning on one anothers cars that would make this website pointless. damn we are suppose to be cool..and welcome people ...not scare them off! Damn..yall just don't listen
dude im not here to down you about your car like alot have done... but for hp id def go with a turbo kit or something like that or pnp... its the only way really.... because you dont want to do an engine swap nor spend tons of cash converting anything to get 225 or more hp so my $0.02 to go faster get turbo or get a small 25 shot of nitro or some s**t.... if i had your car sure i have my opinions on what id do... but sense you dont wanna make it race just get a turbo setup or nitro and pnp thats all i gots to say...
honestly, not tryin to hit anything crazy, actually not even shooting for numbers. car is going to be slow unless i invest literally another whole car into it, all i am trying to do is feel it off the line, so anything that could add some good low end power it what i am looking for. or even throughout the entire rpm range. just not a high revving engine, so not looking for high end gains.

but ideas on what to change up in the engine short of a complete overhaul to a b16 of b18 would be greatly appreciated.
I/H/E already within.
