If you have a USDM Civic Coupe, and given your from NY, I figure you do you have 2 engine options in your car.
If you have a DX, Besides not having a Sunroof or option for ABS or rear disks. You get more bland seats and a Just as equally bland D15b7 Engine. If you swap out the Engine for a D16z6 it will help out greatly. If you dont feal like doing a Full swap you can sway the D16z6 SOHC VTEC head onto the D15b7 block its called a "mini-me" We have a DIY in our DIY Section.
If you have a EX, You have a Sunroof, Possible Disks with options of ABS, and Much much nicer seating. Fittingly the D16z6 that comes stock in the EX Coupe is a pretty decent engine. If your looking for more Power then Getting a Intake Pipe($20), Headers($50) and Exhaust($100) off Ebay will give you much more power, It will let the D16z6 breath and put more power down,
If you already have the above options you can go farther by getting a Skunk 2 Intake Manifold. Or possibly a new Cam. I would recommend one from Bisimoto as his cams are awesome. If you do a new cam you WILL need to get your computer retuned.
