I drive an automatic 2002 Honda Civic LX Sedan and I'm coming up on 100,000 miles and I'm aware I need to do some maintenance and instead of having it done at a shop, i'm going to do some of it myself. Also, im going to do some mods to it, only light stuff to the engine bay because i know there's not much I can do, I'd like suggestion thought, and please dont say "sell your car and buy a stick" thats not an option.

Here's my list (in no particular order):

1. Fix moisture in right headlight
2. Change Sparkplugs (e3 or iridium?)
3. change ground wires (big three)
4. Add a SRI
5. Fog lights
6. Change cabin filters

little help please

Save your money and keep it stock.

1. You won't make your money back as mods usually devalue a car.
2. You won't make your money back in power/mod with that engine.

Just use it for gas money. No harm in keeping **** stock.

really the only mod that I was going to do is a short ram intake...and i'm off and on there, everything else is just maintenance. and my car isn't going to be worth all that much anyway haha its a 2002 thats been in an accident with 100,000 miles

SRI will make absolutely no difference in power. It just makes the car louder. ITs not worth it to buy it. Just replpace everything with stock.
