I have a 95 civic coupe. It has a jdm b16 with I/H/E...6 puck clutch and a chipped p28 (no tune)

What would you guys recommend for the next performance upgrade??

please dont tell me..."its your car, do what you want." Im looking for opinions, thats why i said pretend its yours. Im kinda new to the honda world so thats why i do alot of these opinion threads, it doesent necessarily mean im going to do one or the other. anyways, any 2cents would be greatly appreciated.

thanks in advance

tune, then suspension.

Archidictus · 11-04-2009, 09:36 AM

Stock Type-R Integra suspension with GSR swaybars.

azandford · 11-04-2009, 09:36 AM

A good tune....i would suggest hondata s100 if not doing a turbo or s300 if a turbo is in your future. You will definently notice the difference with a good tune. A lightened flywheel. Also a skunk2 intake manifold will definently help. Avoid just throwing on a camshaft until you talk to your tuner as some aftermarket cams can be detrimental to power especially around vtec as opposed to a stock one.. Not in all cases but some. This question is hard to put a direct answer on since i dont know what your future plans are and what budget your working on. Definently do some reading aorund the forums and see what works best for other people and that will definently give you a good base to start from. But i would get a TUNE!

hannslebo · 11-04-2009, 09:44 AM

no plans for boost right now...maybe a small 35 or 50 shot. but that wouldent be until another year or so.

Ass$nyper · 11-04-2009, 09:47 AM

Tuning.

Then a large rear sway bar.

allenbarnette · 11-04-2009, 09:47 AM

good suspension!

Relic1 · 11-04-2009, 09:49 AM

1. tuning - find a reputable local tuner and ask them what they prefer to tune with. Go with that.

2. suspension

3. a little track time (track not strip)

4. more track time

5. replace tires

6. more track time

boxeocampeon · 11-04-2009, 10:34 AM

suspension then turbo or supercharger

alphalanos · 11-04-2009, 11:17 AM

tune, wheel/tires, suspension

thumper64 · 11-04-2009, 11:27 AM

I'd lose the 6 puck, get a tune or at least base map chip, make sure the timing belt and BS is up to date, get suspension and brakes, then think about cams or something, last consider modding the interior or exterior.

93egSLEEPER · 11-04-2009, 11:32 AM

tune it, suspension, maybe build the head some and enjoy a fun car

hannslebo · 11-04-2009, 01:14 PM

thanks guys for the input...i guess tune will be next then more susp. i already have the ebay springs and some kyb shocks so i could still use some extra goodies for the suspension.

hannslebo · 11-04-2009, 01:26 PM

those coilovers look very very nice...however i could never spend that much on something like that...im not really into the "slammed" hondas. Mine is not that much lower than stock, ive got over a hand width in the rear and about a hand width in the front...so i just do not need the most expensive susp.

they are very nice tho!!!

thumper64 · 11-04-2009, 02:07 PM

Don't slam the car, it's not functional. Aftermarket or Integra springs (cheapest option) are stiffer and will make the car handle better. A little drop looks good, like 1-1.5" and gets a little negative camber.

D Griff · 11-04-2009, 02:23 PM

suspension and tires are next! autocrossing is a lot of fun... get some koni yellows and eibach springs or something like that

fungus mungus · 11-04-2009, 02:31 PM

Integra front discs, rear discs. That was probably the first thing you should have done. Then the tune. Then the suspension. No need to drop it more than 1.5".
