Some upgrades that i can do????
 
So I want to do some upgrades to my civic in terms of mechanical components.

what are some of the things i can do???

so far i upgraded to mugen active brake kit
stainless steel brake lines
extended wheel studs
stainless steel clutch line
complete exhaust from header back
tie bar
strut bar
c pillar bar
rear strut bar
front/back sway bars
es bushings

what more can i do? i dont want to do any engine mods (ie. internal parts) because i will be going k next year so no point in dumping more money. Imo i just want everything stock to be replaced with aftermarket parts.

I am more concered about all the little fine detailed parts or items i can change over the big easily recognizable parts. Btw this car will be 100 percent street legal in everyway so please dont post mods that are illegal in terms of road safety.

That's pretty comprehensive,

But maybe
-lower control arms
-adjustable coilovers or lowering spring/shocks, with a camber kit
-subframe reinforcement kit (depending on the size of your sway bars)
-quick clutch kit

You could upgrade the BB/MC to a larger size, Short Shifter, maybe get an MSD ignition.

i already have ingalls camber kit, lower control arms, 5 bolt, ctr subframe, ctr steering column, ctr B/B and M/C, Tien H/A Full Coilovers....i was looking into a radiator but i decided not to get one because 1 they are useless unless for bling factor and 2 i will be getting a k swap anyway so its a waste of money.

anything else i can change or upgrade???

korbach frame locks, supposed to make a difference but i don't know alot about them. clubsi.com has a review and info and i'm sure H-T will too.

IMO you've got all the bases covered for suspension provided you've considered good rubber like Azeni RT-615 or Hankook Z212's. Something that is going to give you the grip your after to put that suspension to good use

vision shift knob.
ctr seats.
ctr floor mats
ctr carpet
optional navagation unit
whale penis

just some things i would do.

May be a little late now Jay, but I would have seamwelded the chassis while it was bare naked.

That's the only mod I would do if I had the chance to strip the car, and a cage of course.

HID Kit

Pads / Rotors (unless that's what the 'Mugen Active Brake Kit' is)

I think there are two other interor bars you can install. One that mounts behind the seats (do luck bar?) and one across the floor of the trunk.
