03 Civic LX
 

What kind of things are available for this car ? I dont know much about the differences between models and its my girls car so if u guys could help me out.




Todd

i think that the new gens will hav the same body style til 04 so you could get all the kits, wing, etc for 01+

i'm not sure though, correct me if i'm wrong

yea theres only a few differences..like guage faces...01-03 have the same body style and engine.....for your lx u can get an aem cai (think they make one for your car...) sturt bar....thermal r&d or greddy exhaust....new tail lights new headlights ....body kit...i get my stuff off of ebay mmrusa.com or handaaccessories.com you can also lower it...parts will match from 01-03 so u can search or 01 lx parts...by the way is it a sedan or coupe...also go to 7thgencivic.com and they have parts listings

chris

its a coupe


Todd thanks guys

yea i got the chance to sit in one of these and see what i was missing out on compared to my 2002 LX. the difference isnt noticeable. the automatic gear knob housing is different and the gauge faces have a chrome trim around them. everything else, whilei wont say its exactly the same, is pretty damn close.

i really like the gauges how they light up and all. how much horsepower is easily attainable with this motor ?


Todd

if you do a custom turbo probably around 190-200

chris

good luck with a custom turbo, i have only seen like 3 cars with those and all were project cars for some companies. want more power? then you want a k20a motor, cuz thats your only choice for getting over 200+ horsepower other than NOS, which is what i plan on getting. but anything made for a 01-02 civic will most likely fit yours.

i dont see any motors swaps in the near future, its a lease. i just want an idea of a couple of bolt ons for it



Todd

would nitrous be considered "bolt on"? j/k

acutally many cars have custom turbo...i know a guy who's runnin a t3/t4 hybrid in houston with 198 w/ 8psi at the wheels with an 01 ex.....hks comes out with there EX kit next month

chris

anyone know a site where u can get an estimate on a k20a

i really hate nitrous and im more talkin everyday driving stuff not track


Todd

i think so..

nitrous is the PERFECT solution for cars that have yet to have an extensive aftermarket created

K20A3 - Civic Si motor $2500-$3500
K20A2 - RSX Type S motor $3500-$4500
K20a - Integra Type R motor $5500 - $6500

they are advertised on ebay for much cheaper but are usually bs

actually, just so you guys will know, the guy with the turbo lives in Norman, Oklahoma. I go to school with him.

He said that he's running around 220hp now. I think he upped the boost.
