Honda Civic MA (1994–2001)

On the five-door Civic fastback, the MA of 1994 to 2001, the clutch is well covered: ACT street and race clutch discs, heavy-duty pressure plates, XACT flywheels and a twin-disc race kit, with US Racing short shifters alongside. Brakes are still the biggest group and the place to start. Pads from Hawk, EBC, Ferodo and PBS run from road to race compounds for both axles, EBC discs come solid or vented, and HEL or EBC braided lines replace the rubber hoses; add fresh high-boiling fluid. Tyres and alignment are next, bought from a tyre specialist. SRS Exhaust headers and cat-back systems, US Racing intakes and a few coilovers complete the picture.
