maybe but a fuel pump can keep a maximum pressure in the system.... the stock regulator allows less then this maximum into the fuel system and if you get a fuel pressure regulator you can change the pressure that is in the rail and injectors and such... end result your car runs richer...

An aftermarket FPR will allow you the adjustability that the stocker doesn't have. It will also allow you to lean or richen your a/f ratio to some extent.

wow I never knew this fuel pressure regulator thing got so far lol, I guess it's pointless if the car is bone stock, you'll see a bit of a gain any how, but I would go with the other ones I mentioned first. Im guessing there's no mods on the car or are there

Cosmic: I've seen his car. I know what he's got that why I said a new lip.
I'll add this. Suspension goodies, what ever you can get. OEM Sway bars or strut bar.

Just wanted to see what your thoughts are.
What do you consider the best thing you can do to your civic for between $100 and $150...whether it be performance, stereo, styling, whatever.
...and go.

I'd say
1) TCC membership = 2 sexy stickers
also allows you to spend the same amount on parts but will get you more.
Depending on what model car I had and what I wanted to do in the future. $100 for a replica AEM CAI intake. Sounds cool/looks nice and helps a bit
