As someone who actually had an auto Civic as his first car... don't waste your money with any mods. Just do basic maintenance, fix things that are broken (I'm sure something will come up soon), and enjoy the feeling of having a first car. I spent about $1500 on "mods" for the car, I only got about $1000 back in the end. $500 isn't a ton of money now, but when I was in high school it was a boat load of cash.

If you're going for performance, I hate to tell you this but automatic Civics are HELLA slow, doesn't matter what you do it. Trust me when you actually learn/drive a manual Civic you'll see what I mean. Just save up for a manual Civic if you're dead set on a Honda, and then modify that. But as of right now your biggest bottleneck is the autotragic.
