Help on Civic?

[05.civic.dx]

Hey guys im completely new to honda, i went from a 96 eclipse(sold) to 03 wrx (blown engine but still got it) to my 05 civic dx.
my question is how do i know if its vtec or not? also is the current engine capable of any high power?
does anyone own one thats done exhaust and does it have o2 sensors?
also shakes at 40+mph does it need alignment, wheels or suspension work??
""note i only have 3 gauges in the dash 1 engine temp 2 gas 3 speed gauge. any response greatly appreciated!

google it.

it should keep it as long as you have your catalytic converter

also shakes at 40+mph does it need alignment, wheels or suspension work??

go to discount tire and have them balance your tires. it's normally free and usually the cause of speed shake. then if it doesn't fix it move up to alignment.

Dx is the bottom of the barrel trim line, so no it does not have vtec.
The best power adder for these cars is a K series motor swap.

I'm not going to spoonfeed you everything.
This info is easily accessible if searched for, and I don't even own a 7th gen.


Just like this, took me literally under 10 seconds, here is some info:
