Yeah, NGK wires and plugs do nothing for upgrading performance, and a cold air intake won't make that much of a difference either. full intake, exhaust, a really good tune up, and alot of practice on your driving skills and you might win, but don't go thinking any plugs and wires are any kind of performance upgrade, that's a very honda-ish thing to say.

I heard caps lock will greatly increase your HP/TQ numbers, much akin to stickers and $20 spark plugs.

With 202k miles, should consider SR swap, OR . . fresh KA with Nsport / Fmax turbo. . then you won't need to worry about beating Civics, you'll be focusing on Supras :)

just my .02

aww come on leave the guy alone. its like shooting a cripple in the good foot....it is just plain mean.

kid you should save up and get a new engine. KA or SR either way. you dont have a prayer with an engine that old. you could turbo it but the engine might go 2 days after. and dont write in all caps, it is very annoying.

I think a strict regimine of weight reduction is necessary...start by removing all body panels, seats, cut the roof off, drain all non-pertinent fluids, spare tire, jack, rip out the whole dash...carpeting, the works. OR, you could get a dry 200 shot of nitrous, I GUARANTEE you that motor will be just fine for it, those 202,000 mile KA's are quite sturdy, practically indestructible!
