just found the wheels i like, enkei rpf1**

 

Skip the springs and go straight to coilovers, thats my biggest regret.

 

Nice. Those are nice and lightweight and look sweet too! Good choice. Can find them on here used all the time!

 

time to start my search then! haha

 

If you have the plan to FI the car eventually, don't bother with any N/A mods and just save your $$.

 

Honestly, just drive the car a bit and enjoy it. After you get a feel for it, then try to figure out how you'd like to mod it.

 

Definitely maintenance first. Then decide if you want looks, slight performance or full performance. If you are eventually going FI, keep that in mind if you decide to purchase some bolt ons. A good set of tires is a must to really have fun with the car.

Good luck!

 

yeah i'm trying to find a good set of lightweight wheels, i hear the enkei rpf1's are way too played out haha, trying to see my options as far as wheels in that weight range... tires, i have no clue what to get for them, lightweight fenders? like carbon fiber/fiberglass?

 

Leave the body panels alone. That's a surefire way to either ruin the car or spend obscene amounts of money (maybe both!) for no good reason at all. And without spending $2000+ on wheels alone, you're not going to get enough of a weight reduction to make any sort of real difference. This isn't a Civic you're modding here. It's already a well sorted and highly tuned machine.

 

i've had my share of civics haha, just trying to make a sweet daily driver even sweeter.
