Next you could get a Chevy Cavalier and throw some rims and some air shocks on there. With either car though, you're gonna need a big gay wing on the back though, and some of those tail pipes that make your car sound like a radio controlled plane buzzing around

OK, well my post was rendered inferior by time constraints(like I am facing now) so it did'nt turn out like it could have. However: Why my initial post offers more than nothing. 1.It did'nt hold any anti-civic banter. Instead, I offered a reasonable(though far too short) outlook on potential means of making it quicker. Others plastered the typical crap such as "it's an eco-car man". In fact, a built-up economy car is almost invariably funner than a sports car within the same performance parameters. 2.Some mis-information was presented that I hinted at, but failed to point out. Example: the "stock h22 sleeves can only take 5psi" thing. Sure, maybe with a 17:1 afr, a t25, and oodles of timing. 3.Having a turboed economy car(not a civic!) with about 4x the original output on pump petrol makes me somewhat qualified to give advice on turbocharging. Having some friends who are Honda enthusiasts and have gone through basic swaps, all-motor builds, turbocharging, and nitrous helps too. Note: I did not build my engine but am fully aware of the principle, expectations, and precautions of having a car with forced induction.
You are not going to receive the proper advice on a mushroom forum. My meager advice is not nearly adequate enough for a quality decision. Research! Engine theory first, modifications second. The Honda forums do'nt take kindly to newbs, so do a lot of searching before posting. Good advice in a word: Swap! And after you have all the advice you need, and the money to do what you want with the little civic: Take a I Ching reading, for the Tao transcends all advice.
