An admirable thought; but a pig is still a pig no matter how it's dressed.

Seeing as how the used car market is insane right now I'm keeping my civic and improving it. Got a new drop in high flow air filter. Then I started by getting rear sway bar. then did endurapro tein shocks on stock springs (used adapters washers for r18). Handling alone made the car quicker when it's important. But I would say it's about 10-20 hp off from being the perfect DD.

I'm considering getting lightweight wheels since it sounds like engine mods aren't worth it. The thing is wheels are not that cheap and idk if it's going to be worth the trouble. I'm already on the si stock 17 inch wheels.
