I honestly can't say that I've had any trouble from this car. The only complaint I had was that the 13 inch factory tires are not suitable for the car. But replacing them with some 17 inch Enkei's definitely did the trick.
I got this care from it's first owner who is a military mechanic. This means that he had a whole lot of time on his hands to make sure this car was kept up and kept up good. I added an AEM Fuel regulator and bar, 4-2-1 headers and a cold air intake that have jumped the horsepower up to make this little pony a serious competitor. I've recently added a few more tricks under the hood that are my little secret. Honda provided a good base and a few dollars here and there combined with a little elbow grease make this a ride that turns heads. I didn't set out to buy an import sedan, but I'm sure glad I did.
My 1995 Honda Civic Dx is a serious machine its all stock and I wanna know everything I can know about it, but there is no info anywhere, but dude it sounds like you have a serious honda so go hit up the streets and hondas rule!
Very good review that you have couldn't have done it better.
Why would you hop up a Honda? When I saw this review I was amazed at all the junk this goon put on his tinker toy. Whats the point? Honda's are not built for speed, they are built for economy, even the ugly 2 door. If you want to get some serious power buy something with a V8, because there is no point in trying to get horsepower from someplace where there was none to begin with.
Forget a V8. I say if you want good performance at a good price the impreza STi, TT Supra or EVO VIII would be the thing to get. I have an STi and I can destroy Mustang GTs.
A V8 is a piece of you know what... Honda's are the best... I wanna do some work to mine and get it to run a low 13 and pointers guys.. It's a 95 ex coupe...
Save up and have a good mechanic install performance cam and pulley's and see if maybe he will advance the cam a few degrees. Then exhaust, expensive headers usually last longer, hooker headers are good. Then intake you can save for now, and just install cold air, make sure it is long enough to actually get cold air. the dx should have the 1.5 16v engine. And if your super serious about going fast, strip the car out, less weight per horsepower ratio. You could also "shave" the head and get it ported, but be careful many people think the can port, but it is a art, and take's skill. Shaveing the head raise's compression, don't go to high or you will have to run higher octane. If you plan on turbo, then do not shave head you want to lower compression to about 8.5. in ending do the cam instead of little bolt on's like the oringinal poster, get inside the build out, and a dialed in cam will make a lot more horse's.
