everything on my car is stock and i am looking to boost the performance of my car. any suggestions?

 

exhaust, intake, sways, strut, coils and depending on how you did with those, rims

 

im looking for more in depth responses but thank you anyway. and i never got them. decided on getting my rims powder coated like such

 

hey i was thinking of doing that with my stock rims just for winter time. How much does that cost?

 

you should look into any full exhaust option. stillen, fast intentions, tanabe, hks, or others I may have missed. It seems if you buy an intake Stillen gen 3's and R2C make the only noticable power.
Then you should chip/tune the car to bring more ponies out of those mods. Then wait..... save up and get a power adder if you aren't thrilled with that power, because it won't get much greater than that without forced induction.
I'd personally go with a turbo, nice ones out are GTM, Greddy, if you want a safer, least expensive route GTM is almost finished with their stage 2 supercharger, that would be the one worth buying IMO.

 

Get the turbonator,

 

i dont know to be honest. i still am looking into where to go. i will try to remember to post back when i find out

 

i think im going to invest in a turbo. i cannot find any within my price range, is their a reason for that?
ps thank you very much

 

You're not even a quarter of the way there with $3,000... Do some research before you consider an investment like F/I. Supporting modifications, labor, downtime, risks and repairs all need to be added to the turbo equation... My suggestion: If boosting your car is going to cost you $12,000 on the face (that's a very conservative number), have $20,000+ at your immediate disposal and a second car as a daily driver. Just my $02...


With $3,000 to spend on a completely stock G, here is what I might recommend:

(Rough Pricing Estimates)

1) Springs: $250
2) Sway Bars: $300
3) Upgraded Brake Pads, Rotors, and Stainless Steel Lines: $650
4) Exhaust System: $1,400
5) High Flow Cats: $250
6) Tint: $150
__________________________

Total: $3,000

*If you drive a stick, I might also recommend a short shifter. Great bang for the buck!


The braking and suspension upgrades will not give you performance in terms of horsepower numbers, but I guarantee you will feel a difference and the driving experience will be dramatically improved. Again, these are just my suggestions if you're looking for a few things to do to your G...

 

High flow cats are more than $250, thats the pricing for test pipes. 150 for tint is also low. I literally just got mine done with 3m tint for $300. even other tint will cost you $200. I paid $200 to get my civic done two yrs ago and that was only the rear windshield and rear windows.

$50 here or there...

Those prices were rough estimates, as I wrote. $200 for tint is not unheard of and one can definitely find a set of HFC's on this forum in the classified section for around $250. You can also get an exhaust system for less than $1,400.00, too. Come on. You get the idea...

If he's got $3,000 to spend, I'm sure $3,100 - $3,200 is not going to break the bank...

 

I've never seen powder coating like this. Those rims have been chromed. Either way will cost you a fair amount of cash. ($1000 ?)

Coop

 

i would get sways, strut, coil, spacers and tint with 3k to spend on a stock G. After that you can decide if u wanna go further or not

 

gen 3= 550
tints=200
catback= 1000 (im doin mine for 600, so maybe less or more depending on you)
springs= 250 (plus install)
1000 left for brakes, tune, other exterior stuff.....i would personally go with a tune to boost other mods
