[wako786]

I just bougth my first mb6 civic vti, always loved em beautiful cars, its completely box standard no mods on it, just wna know what would be good modifications to do to it first, ive read the handling on them are not so good so any pointers would help?? cheers

Conrats on your purchase.

I think I can remember a good cheap way of improving the handling is to fit the rear anti roll bar from an MG ZS I think (whichever one is the same shape as the Civic). They badly need the gear ratios sorted as they drop out of vtec when changing up the gears. K&N panel filter with a drilled airbox gives a great grunty sound too. I loved mine, till I got a 'Teg.

thank you for the help
how would you change the gear ratios, am kinda new to this.. what would be a gd step

[Haighermeister]

Integra type R Gearbox.

It's the S80 gearbox you want.

Getting budget tyres killed mine, stick with the Potenza's. Putting an MG anti roll bar will help the lift of over steer but I prefered the lift off fun!!
