I agree with the last post, I too own a 2002 civic but i went with the DX, (saw a body kit for the DX i just had to have) and I know that messing with the car is dangerous before the 16 month mark. I owned a 98 mistu eclipse and went to town on it then the timing belt slipped and fried my engine, there was a recall issued for the timing belt tensioner but i couldnt claim because of the modifications, hense if I wouldnt have mnessed with the car I would have gotten a brand new engine instead of shelling out 2 grand to get it fixed.
BTW if you do want some easy horsepower that wont mess with your warrenty I suggest buying a free flowing cat and a cold air intake. both can be removed very easily and will be good for about 10-15 HP (together not each). When I removed my cat I couldnt believe how restricting the dam thing was.
DONT GET PULLEYS - Anything goes wrong and they will laugh you out of the dealership. Also advancing your timing will be good for about 2-4 HP and there is nothing they can say about that because the civics variable timing.
