I currently own a 97' Civic HX and I was wondering what I can do to it (Intake, exhaust, etc..) without putting in a new engine. I normally wouldn't ask but HX's use SOHC VTEC-E (as someone corrected me in a much earlier post ;) ) and I'm not sure if those are upgrade friendly.

Sorry for the newbie question.

FAQ my man :D

You can add an intake and exhuast - not sure on headers.

Also a simple like 45-shot nitrous kit will work.

You can also do lots of suspension work.

I know of a guy that hit low 15s in his HX with only intake and exhuast!

i wanna see the slip.

Thanks, VTEC_boi, that's exactly what I wanted to know. :D

The CVT is a beautiful thing but low 15's is pushing it.
