    I know when i first purchased my car ichanged out the air filter (it was filthy!) And it gave me better performance most noticeable on acceleration. Also replace your fuel filter(s) that gave me a noticable improvement!

    here is my idea for you.
    save about $100- 150.
    than go and get NGK wires, Ngk plugs, rotor and cap. fuel filter, go to Autozone and get airintake for civic and modify to fit. get K&N cone for this intake.
    If you still have money left, get your self Accel or MSD coil.
    this should with acceleration.
