Inflate your tires to max sidewall.
Gearing if you care to dig that deep into your car as SI civics are geared pretty "sporty".

Avoid the brake like the plague.

My kill switch is a push button, Normally closed push to open. It is a brake light switch I forget from what car but most work the same way. You have to hold it down for about 1-3 seconds depending on the RPM that the motor was running at when you pushed it. I mounted mine to my shifter in such a place I can hit it with my thumb or pointer finger with my hand on the shifter.

I usually push it and the clutch at the same time and move the shifter into neutral. I can bump start down to about 10mph in 5th If I miss my speed I can bump start in 3rd down to 5mph, but I don't like doing it in low gears as I feel it is hard on the car.
