hey everybody i just recently got an 86 LX accord sedan that is manual. and i was wondering if there is anything i can do to it just by changing parts or removing parts in the engine that will give it a little more power and that will not cost alot to do because i am kinda on a budget.

Remove your interior, get an intake, muffler, catback, header, aftermarket coil, bigger spark plug wires, optima battery, turbo, NOS, supercharger.......

Sweet
You have my attitude.
Ok here is all I have done for cheap for a little more kick.
1. Removed 90% of the damn vacuum lines How to remove carb vacuum lines ? (http://www.3geez.com/showthread.php?t=11067) - Free
2. Capped of the EGR and Air Suction EGR HOWTO (http://www.3geez.com/showthread.php?t=26393&highlight=EGR) - Free
3. I got a TEC Distributor off of a 87-87 Carbureated Prelude. - $20 at Junkyard
3. Installed an Accel coil Howto install an Accel coil (http://www.3geez.com/showthread.php?t=114) $40
4. 88-91 Civic Airbox with a 92-95 Civic Short Ram Air Intake Civic Carb Intake (http://www.3geez.com/showthread.php?t=13819) Short Ram (http://www.3geez.com/showthread.php?t=15496) $10 for the Airbox and $40 for the short ram with a cone filter.
5. Removed the catalytic convertor off the exaughst, poked out the ceramic elemant, reinstalled with new gaskets. - $5 for 2 gaskets.

After doing all that my car has a hell of a lot more kick than it did when I first got it. My throttle is strong and responsive now :thumbup:

If you want even more power get a header and a Weber Carbureator, im to cheap to buy either.

Good luck!
