FAQ sticky. Read it. We aren't here to hold your hand, or tell you how to spend your money. Start off by scrapping that piece of **** autotragic.

Recommendations would be good I'm not that new to Honda I'm only new on the racing type of vehicles I've learned the basics and yes I know the Auto tranny sucks the fastest I've gone is 110mph on the del sol I don't want to waste money on stuff I find that make it faster only to learn that there's something cheaper and faster I'd like to start in the engine bay and end with interiors and body work

There's lots you can do when it comes to aftermarket parts I mean lots, I mean Many many options. Just do a little research of what your goal is, if your gonna stick to a certain type of build ex. (Circuit/rally) then you want to focus more on the cars brakes/suspension rather then having a super fast beast because if you focus more on your speed/hp then what happens when all that speed hits a hard curve, you're either gonna have to slow way down to make a safe maneuver or you'll eventually spin out/lose control. If 3-5k really is your budget then you have alot of options. You can swap out that sohc for a dohc and you ll still have enough to beef up the suspension nicely or you can just go straight k and you still might have enough to upgrade a few suspension components, it all depends on your personal taste goals for your vehicle. Like NOTARACIST said , just do a little research. Good luck with your build and keep us posted, I'm personally interested in what mods/upgrades you do. Thanks

So you're starting a turbo build to get your suspension from Raceland? Are you trying to get sponsors?

Go read the FAQ sticky. This is the third time I'm telling you this. You're talking about buying a stupidly cheap suspension, when there are many better options for your money out there. You're talking about mating a B series transmission to a D series engine (it doesn't work that way without a MASSIVE investment). You're talking about F/I like it's some magical cure-all pill that you obviously don't understand. To top it all off, you go from cheap, poorly thought-out ideas, to a pointless and extremely expensive brake system.

Whatever "friend" recommended all of that **** to you, you should stop listening to, for multiple reasons. We aren't going to hold your hand, and we aren't going to spoon feed you. All of your questions are answered in the FAQ sticky - go read it!
