I came from a 96 civic hatch I had built for 4 years and daily drove. I used it to carve mountain roads in the Appalachian foothills where I live. The motor was stock but I rebuilt and replaced every single bolt of the rest of the car and over hauled suspension and brakes. This is my first serious FR and I'm in love with this chasis.
Not trying to thread Jack, just sharing my old passion for grip driving lol

No worries lol. I've actually been thinking about taking the car to an event up north at Hallett and do some actual road course driving. It's been a long time. Not sure if I want to sink more money on different stuff though lol.
I actually had every intention of going with turbo or supercharger but the car is my daily driver and it's just too easy right now. I have just under 13k miles on the car. I've done a cross country trip, 5 drift events, and lots of hard driving, and all I've had to do is change oil/fluids. It's such a reliable car right now and I don't want to mess with that too much.
It just REALLY needs some extra grunt. I figure with the intake, headers/exhaust, and tune, I should be able to pull an extra 30ish whp out of the car which is a decent little bump. Maybe down the road when I have a different daily, I'll consider boosting this-if I still have it.
The zn6 is a great car from the factory. Just a blank sheet of paper for you to do whatever you want with. It has it's flaws but I'm pretty content with the car now at this point.
All that I have left for it is:
-Tune
-FLCAs
-Tie rods
-Subframe bushings
-Swift springs for coilovers
and I'm done. Maybe a BRIDE seat and brake upgrade down the road, but everything listed above will be addressed after winter. Plus, I still have parts sitting in the garage I need to install lol.
