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?

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.

well that is all up to you man.

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?

yeah, I first got i/h/e for my stock motor and when I did my swap I had to sell the intake and header with the motor due to them not being the same as my turbo B18. And to make my car run 13s I had to do a motor swap, lots of internal work, turbo, and nitrous.
