looking to dip somemoney in to my car, not ready for a swap yet but just looking for some bolt on's that i can put on my d15z1 right now and i can use after a swap in the future.

thanks.

is the car stock right now? (no suspension, rims, etc.) if so i would say do a little suspension first. after all, what does it matter how fast your car is if it handles like an suv in the corners. also when i bought my hatchback it had the d15 in it and i bought the intake and exhaust for that engine and when i swapped it for the b16, the intake mounted right up the same and the exhaust only needed very slight modification. good luck!

its all stock but the cheap rims that were on it when i bought it

im not saying this is always the way it should be done but in my opinion, handling and traction comes first. when im building up a car, i like to put a little better performance tire on the steelies. then build the suspension. i like doing it this way because, once the engine is finally in the car, i can go out and drive the **** out of it without worrying about the car careening into the ditch because the tires or the suspension couldnt handle it. but like i said, the cold air AEM i bought for my d15 had no problems mounting on the b16 and the exhaust was trimmed by like 1/2 an inch.

a i went to a local shop round here and i was actually thinking of getting it lowerd and getting the new springs and shocks they had some tien basic damper set up for about 700 i'm gonna need to save up for a month or so to get it tho, i had goten a aem shortram intake but the piping was too big for the throttle body so i was assed out on that.

Do suspension, wheels tires, maybe even a brake upgrade. Skip the bolt-ons until you do a swap.

The car will be a blast with a suspension/wheel/tire setup.
