is it worth upgradeing my lx

[beastmaster]

my car is nice and fuel efficent but it lacks speed
would it be worth the cash to add intake and exhaust to it and maybe a chip?

[Mischief(LTS)]

it depends on wether or not YOU think it's worth upgrading. any car has the potential for speed. it's just a matter of how much money you want to dump into it. with civics unfonrtunately it takes a bit more money to make them faster due to the fact that they come slow

I have a LX and it runs 13s. :)

The first thing that I did to my car was intake, header, and exhaust and I was very happy with the way is sounded and the added power. You have to start somewhere and those are the first 3 things I'd do as far as performance wise.

Nah

[ebpda9]

well that is all up to you man.

[slowEJ6]

these arent BMW's......a chip will do nothing.


if you want some speed, go B18B turbo, blockguard, hondata, TUNING.........you will decimate all.

I/H/E as the first thing? what if you wanted to go turbo..?? what did you do to your LX to be able to run 13s?

who cares, this fool posted one question/post over a week ago and not one single post since then.

And to make my car run 13s I had to do a motor swap, lots of internal work, turbo, and nitrous.
