I have 2007 Civic coupe LX 1.8 not sure of gen, car runs great. I just want to make it run better all parts on it now are original. I would like to start with performance before looks, I plan to keep this car. I have had this car for 5 yrs now no major issues. I just want to know where to start and what parts are quality. Not trying to race just want to get the best ride I can out of it. Please assist with recommendations. On where to begin.

You mean like a turbo set-up? are you automatic or stickshift?
Keep in mind that you gotta pay to play.
I would say to keep up with preventative maintenance. I got an Acura CSX Type S this summer (not in great condition) and the first things I did was change my brake calipers, rotors, pads, new motor oil, oil filter, coolant fluid, wipers, and a new 3" catback exhaust. I'll continue to replace old and worn-out parts such as the weathering strips, spark plugs, belts, new set of tires, transmission oil change, and maybe even make a valve adjustment and eventually a new clutch. I plan to sand down my old paint and re-spray it this summer because I have the notorious clear coat peeling issue.
Honestly for what you’re asking for you need to keep the car stock everything. Just replace normal wear and tear parts
tires
Thermostat
Oil
Belts
Brakepads
Rotors
Brake fluid flush
Front struts
Rear shocks
Etc
when you start down the mod path you inevitably make the car less reliable per OEM standards and proper mods and installation is not cheap and adds up. If that does not sound appealing replacing naturally woren stock parts is your best avenue
