    thats a tough question, what do you mean change? like do something to make it faster? i'd say most peeps go w/ an intake cause they seem to be the easiest to put in. 1st thing i did when i got my car was repaint the hood (was really warn looking compared to the rest of the car).

    The very first thing I put in my accord and I mean the first was some gas cause the dealership I brought it from didn't and it was on E. But back to the question; the first thing I did was had the the stereo replaced and new speaker wire ran.

    Ripped out the tape deck. Ripped out the 4x15 watt speakers. Replaced that stuff along with new wires.

    Then I blew the engine after cooking the clutch, I guess it could not hold 6000 rpm for long. The clutch slipped and the tach shot all the way up untill POW.

    I am just about to replace the stereo. The car has been "mine" for only a few weeks. But I have been driving it for a long time. But first thing I did, was new fan belts.

    I redid my bumpers. Took all day. But they still look awesome, 10 months later. I suggest everyone do it.

    That's got to be the cleanest living DX I've ever seen.

    Wow, that's absolutely amazing-that car does not look like it's 20 years old!

    1st thing was the BASS!
    When I was like 12 I hooked up a Clarion booster EQ to these 5 1/4 2-way bookshelf speakers in the trunk. :-D I eventually worked my way through a couple amps, tweeters, mids... now thath I think about it I've gone through more stereo crap than parts to keep the car running. I have yet another system in progress, I'm just waiting for the bass amps so I can design and build the amp rack (this system is insane to say the least). It makes the ride 100x more enjoyable

    It's fun to do that even with a stockie, follow these simple instructions kiddies:

    1.pour two spots of oil on an abandoned road just ahead of your front tires.
    2.pull over oil slicks
    3.pull hand brake waaaaaaaay back
    4.GIVE HER HELL!

    Transferred stereo and subs, then bought new deck, continued w/the rest of the sound stuff.

    Then tint, short ram (get cold air) intake, lowering, performance cam....next....header and cat

    full tune up (cap, rotor, plugs, wires, fuel filter, pcv, set timing, air filter) The next thing was replace all the burned out bulbs and fix the nasty ass cooling system. I drove it for 3 mths without a radio, I just did that last mth

    I would say I got everthing fixed that needed to be accept the AC and anything that needed replacing was replaced with somthing better. Like the exhaust needed to be replaced so instead of going stock I went with 2.25" piping and a straight through muffler.

    Zetec greater than Vtec? Maybe on a non Si Civic.
    The Ford has a 145hp 2.3 litre.
    My friends 92 accord non vtec had that with a F22.
    Ever heard of a little motor called the F20C? Or perhaps the H22 or B18C5?
