As for the coilovers I can't seem to find them for the 1st gen GS's, do they not make any for them?

117k is not too much to turbo, just have the engine serviced and add boost my friend!
Single turbo and tein cs
I have eibach springs on my car right now and wish I knew about CL before I got them.Because the money I spent on those could of went to the teins that I am going to order this month.I have nothing bad to say about the eibachs, but the drop isn't enough.The tein cs will give the extra drop that I need.Yes, they are a little pricey, but when you get looks and performance and ride quality, you can't go wrong.As far as more power, I have to agree with D. The only way your going to get real power is to SINGLE TURBO it.(I have also been doing research on this.) From what I have been reading, F-max makes a very affordable kit that will give you about 315hp.Thats a pretty big jump from the stock numbers.After turbo, exhaust, and a few gauges and labor your going to be at about $6500-7000. But gs4 and civics will not be spanky you anymore.Also if you wanted piece of mind you could ugrade your turbo manifold to a toyomoto manifold.I say that because many people on CL have heard but never seen an F-max manifold crack, and the toyomoto manifold is bulletproof, but an extra grand.I hope this helps you out.

to add to what johnee said, with tuning, I think you can see about 345hp with the Fmax, also, I heard that turbonetics bought out fmax, so now the manifolds are much better.
I was gonna do the fmax to my 1st gen, I wanted it to be fast enough to beat stock GS4s

Well turbonetics owns Fmax now so I guess that dispels the cracked manifold rumors. I found coilovers but they are $1,950.
I called a local place (john haley motorsports) who said it'd cost me $2,300 to:
Rebuild my engine
Clean my engine
Install the turbo
Then another $2,700 to install ***secert project***
Does $2,300 sound good or should I go elsewhere?
I guess I gotta get another job... and fast
