I'd start with giving it a service if it hasn't had one recently.

Well 14.7 is pretty quick for a near standard civic!!!

I've run a 14.8 in mine but usually run low to mid 15's.

Your mate is probably a pretty good driver and knows how to get the best from his car.

Well you could get it rolling roaded and see if it's down on power and maybe make sure the brakes arn't sticking or something like that.

Take your time with it or it wont move at all.

Pipercross/Spoon panel filter, remove the resonator and make a direct cold air feed.
