Whats your budget?

What exactly do you want from it?

More power? or just better throttle response?

How many km's on the engine?

I recommend that you turbocharge your car. It will make it snappier.

Bolt ons (SRI, headers, CB exhaust) won't do anything significant, except maybe make your car sound stronger. Well that's what I felt when I had a Civic. Bolt on's are only felt in cars with big engines.

So save some coin, and turbocharge your car properly

14b talon turbo, talon injectors, intercooler//piping from a local parts store(west side performance) , with couplers,exhaust shop for the manifold/downpipe. and the rest hit up a hardware store to do the oil pan etc. etc. etc. total cost for me 500$.., just need to go bigger now , but if u wanna make a 1.5 snappier their perfect for a nice lil turbo setup

first thing to do is change the motor. since your running obd1 swaps are real simple. even a mildly tuned z6 (92-95si) or d15b vtec will be miles better.

Snapier thats different...... um keep your windows up and yo wont have as much air drag.

like MPR said, whats your budget? goals?
do you have the d15b7 or jdm d15b vtec motor? either way you could throw on a cheap 14b turbo kit on it. [as long as your motor is in good mechanical condition]
also "Clean95d16" you didnt do any catch can setup. how come?
