If there is one thing I could tell people just starting out in the Honda world it would be this...

Don't rush. Take your time. Save up and buy the better quality part. Do lots of research. Knockoff parts are cheaper for a reason. Don't buy into the hype. And start with maintenance and restoring the car to a showroom condition before you start throwing parts at it.

There's nothing worse than seeing a car with a bunch of knock off garbage, with dents all over, and non functioning accessories.

I love reading the FS ads with $500 of BWR subframe crap, but then it's like "Bads - CEL on, radiator hoses about to burst, some rust in the fenders, no radio, needs a clutch, front axle needs to be replaced." Guess they spent all their money on **** parts and didn't have enough left over to make the car safe.

It could use some lowering springs. Save your money for a swap.
Dont buy parts now that you wont be able to use in the long run.

Do all the required maint, and then work on the suspension until your ready for the swap. READDDDDD

^ This.
If you plan to spend a lot of time and money on performance, get to know your car first by making sure the bushings, boots, brakes, sway bar links, tie rod ends... are good.

...oh and start with the intake.

i cant really decide what you should do first , but i think you should lower it on some diferent rims maybe some gabsport rims . then you should get a nice paint job , and front lip . after that you should swap a b series in it maybe do a wire tuck with a manual conversation . i think it would be pretty dope after all of that ! good luck with your project !

Just keep reading and learning my friend. I learnt most of everything I know by just reading.

Just read and learn once you understand everything you should know what you want to do first.

Get rid of those damn 17"s. They're only slowing your car down. Learn what rotational mass is, and how it differs from static mass in a car.
