Is it better to start with suspension or power? For power, should I start with cold air intake, headers, and an exhaust? Which is safer, turbo or supercharger? Are there any drawback to going all motor?

Personally for me i would start with suspension mods first because a race is settled in the corners not in the straights so if your cars suspension is tuned right your car could beat other cars on the track that have significantly more power then yours, as long as you can drive it anyway. As for power, what you said is a good start, CAI, DC headers and exhaust would be nice, but as the first answer said make sure its an actual COLD air intake and not some stubby POS intake. Superchargers are a lot safer then turbochargers. The only real drawback from going all motor is that you won't have as high HP numbers as if you went with forced induction. I prefer all motor or supercharged because you have that instant power gain instead of having the lag that you have with turbos.

Seriously there's nothing impressive about a Honda, get a muscle car! But unless you're gonna be actually racing a lot the supercharger or turbocharger would be a waste of a few thousand dollars. Start with the intake, then go to the headers and exhaust. the suspension should be fine as is. Funny story, I blew the doors off a supercharged Celica the other day in my '98 Mustang GT. It's completely stock aside from the new headers and catback exhaust I bought.

Make sure whatever modifications you decide on doing doesn't void the warrenty. And for forced induction - Its a 2.0 i-vtec pushing 200hp. The compression ratio is super high and you'll risk blowing your motor. Don't do it without strengthening the motor (which means it'll be really expensive to turbo the motor). IHE = Intake header exhaust first. Then upgrade the clutch, and you'll feel more power in that car. (:

Why did you buy a new honda civic if you wanted speed? Not only will most of that void your warranty, but you will have turned an otherwise good daily driver into an unreliable pile of sh*t that looks gay. You picked the wrong car to mod.

just leave it stock, if you wanted power you should have bought something made for power and TORQUE, not just pep. but what ever you do, don't add a cold (hot) air intake, they work ONLY if you have it boxed off from the rest of the engine, if its not seperate then you're sucking in hot air fromt he engine compartment and you're really doing nothing but sucking in hot air.

I would leave it as is for now or least until it is out of warranty. After the warranty expires do all those things you want.

Although Jared and I don't agree on dogs, we agree on cars!! Even after $20,000 my Supra would still eat that honda alive!
