ok im talkin about real power. I have a 2007 civic ex coupe. now has a stock 1.8 4cyl 5speed manual transmission. no aftermarket suspension or anything.ITS totally STOCK haha: cost is a factor of course. it tends to lean lots when I turn. I could just like some steps to making it quicker, have higher top speed, and handle better. I love the civics and could like to have more fun

Thanks.

Intake, Exhaust, Header, Sway bar front and rear progress is that way to go here .Most will tell you to lower your car but i',ll tell you that if you love your car, don't lower it, it just makes every little rattle worse and worse till sooner or later, starts breaking, on an 07. Intake, exhaust, header, and sways will run you from $500$1000, from there I could tell get bigger rims, and if you don't have an ex do the drum to disc exchange, its not that hard since the ex has them and they offer much better braking., then from there you may be able to do some N/A engine work if you wanted cam, Valvetrain or you may be able to go turbo or you may be able to drop in the K from the Si without much trouble, but for just come more fun I could tell just do intake, header, exhaust, sways, rims, brakes, and cam if you want. good luck.

I',d say attempt to put an air intake in there. OR you could do an engine exchange with an Accord 2.2 L or Acura RSX engine. I wonder if the civic could be able to manage a bigger engine although.Civics weren't made to be sports cars although only for great gas mileage.,
