Wassup fellow CL members..I just bought a Gs3 and i am happy with is seeing as how i came all the way from a 96 civic DX with 100hp lol...now i have about 225 if i am not mistaken. I wanted a Gs4 but it was out of my budget hence the Gs3 i got a good deal on it .. but i wanna increase the HP a lil i am not really that concerned with big HP so if i can get it to about 275-300 i would be happy. But also i dont wanna spend a whole heap of money, i am still a college student.

I wanna stay below 2500 total..please help!!!

Also and advise on rims would be helpful looking to spend $1900 on da rims.

 

a good start is to get a catback exhaust and a intake system

 

on an exhaust and intake. You can't feel 10 or so horsepower. Only thing you will get is noise!

A torque converter would help you get off the line quicker and you can feel that mod.

Only way you are going to get 275-300 hp is going forced induction. www.prolexperformance.com has a supercharger that meets your needs , but it runs close to 5000.

If i was in your shoes, i would not rush things and save up for the SC.

You have to be more specific on rims. Size, design, finish ? Lots of variables .

 

ok he has $2500 and wants to spend $1900 on wheels that leaves $600 bux my suggestion was close to that figure and not a $5000 supercharger

 

Yeah a 5k supercharger is kinda up their..to high for me.. i thought u got more than 10 HP with the SRT intake and good exhaust?? thanks for the feedback though..

What do u guys think of the HP EVO lightning wheels??19"

 

Just save up for a turbo

 

Hey alredxii how does your can sound with that injen and borla exhaust?? does the intake make alot of noise??

 

IMHO, not really, i've heard louder...the exhaust and intake do make a nice growl at WOT though

 

Go for show.....bodykit, rims, etc..

 

It's your money, spend it how you like. But i've been in your shoes already. I was naive and made that small mistake. I could have used that 1350 on something else, besides noise.

I brought the SRT intake and Greddy exhaust thinking that measley 10 or so hp was going to make my car faster. Boy was i wrong, all it did was make my car louder. Unless you have some kind of special power, you won't feel the small hp increase.

All i am advising is, if you want hp you can feel, save up for the SC. I still regret buying the exhaust and intake to this day.

Spend the 2500 on a quality set of rims if you have to buy something.

 

Yeah i think i am gonna spend that on some nice wheels.. and just put tips on the exhaust...i am not a big fan of noise..i had a civic with exhaust and believe me it getr annoying after a while.. how much sound do u get with the ltuned exhaust tips??

Thanks for everyones thoughts i really appreacite it..

I need to find some nice wheels though ..19-20 not to flashy but makes u say woah.19*8.5 and 19*9.5 i prefer.
