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.
Manual civic is hella slow too. I recently drove a 2000 civic sir 5 speed with cbe and it was so slow.
