In all seriousness, I would get all new suspension and braking done before anything.

JDM Front conversion, fresh paint and some decent looking wheels maybe? I think I/H/E is already good enough if you ask me, if not a clutch too.

Take your fam on vacation, screw the teg.. Family is more important! You dont need to waste cash on something that prob going to get stollen anyways. Maybe like 500 bucks but spend the rest with the family....

I'd choose style if your car is in bad condition like mine. Other then that, I'd go with speed.

I couldnt agree anymore... i dont have any kids... in fact im single lol .. but i know from experience that not having a good amount saved up in case of an emergency is very very stressful when something does happen.

example... when i was in my cousins car and he got in a car accident, my shoulder tendons ripped/dislocated shoulder and i had to get surgery done.. boy oh boy those bills werent cheap lol.. matter of fact they cost more than my car XD..



but, if you have that part coverd then i'd say spend it on whatever it is that you enjoy most out of the car.. if you enjoy others complimenting your car then do exterior, if you like music then obviously go sound system, if you like to push your car performance wise then do that.. its your car and you should do whatever you like.

The Integra doesn't need anything done to the brakes, other than a change to fresh fluid and good pads, to be ready for heavy track use. Seriously, the stock brake hard parts are more than adequate for anything other than "It makes 400+ hp and is run on track for 90+ minutes at a time"...

45 minute lapping sessions at Willow Springs in 105* weather, and I never had brake issues with my GSR. Was only using Hawk HPS up front and Hawk ceramic in the rear, not even real "track ready" pads.

Not to jack this thread, but when you guys "new suspension," what do you mean? New coilovers, LCA's, sway bar/endlinks, camber kit and what else? thanks and this is a good thread to explore and learn, btw.

Pretty much everything you said. Might not hurt do add in a subframe brace, strut/shock tower bars, and lower tie bars.
