    well, get coil and muffler. they are not expensive and you should feel the diff.
    oh yeah if you have money left get intake for 92 civic.
    there should be more info in How to section.

    well for cheap you could either make the "team del sol CAI" or cut a few inches off of a civic intake... i did feel a difference with my civic intake, but i have plans to make a CAI for sure!

    your next bet is to get the exhaust done... buy a muffler/tip online, and take it to the shop. the muffler and tip should be less than $50 USD, and if you bring those, the shop should put them on, with 2.25 piping, for around $100 USD.

    your next logical step would be headers. check out www.nopionline.com and look at the painted pacesetter headers, appearently the paint will flake off, but you can sand it down and repaint yourself, any color you want.

    all in all, you should still be easily below the $500 mark. and yes, an accel coil, and an MSD6A, or 6AL should help too, though i cant speak from expercience, but they will be my next mods!

    I would go with a Dynomax super turbo muffler you can get one from http://www.summitracing.com/ any tip you think will look good and I know from experience that a MSD 6AL will help.

    i am gonna get a dynomax super turbo muffler with a borla intercoolet tip. its the same 2.25 inch inlet and outlet. and get a cat, get a hiflow cat if ur doing ur whole exhaust and also check if u wanna invest in a pacesetter header. cause if ur doing ur whole exhaust, just a muffler and a tip wont do u any good. its the whole exhaust that works to gether to make ur car better. my goal is, if i do it, i wanna do it right, not in bits and pieces.
