I have a 2007 Civic EX automatic... When I initially bought the car I was not thinking tuning ( I have long commutes)but have gotten highly interested lately... I need advice about the most basic thing I can do to my car... I undertand its probably a high performance AirIntake... I looked at the Typhoon Air Intake System offered by K&N... I need some help, can someone explain to me the difference between cold AirIntake (CA), short ram (SR), and complete cold (CCA)... Which one do I want? Is it even worth it since my car is automatic?

id say search on wikipedia.org, BUT that is not what i would recomende at first,
id say start with new high performance brakes and calipers,(shorter breaking distance)
then new rims and tires(again helps with breaking but also your control)
make sure u get high grade tires, upper scale goodrich or something like that,
then id say go with new seats, sparco or something of the sort, expecially if your doing long commutes,
then work on your engine up grades,
new tranny, exaust, clutch, cold air intake and such.

hope this helps.
good luck
