Default Have $500-600...what should be the next mod?

Did a little painting on the side...so I earned a little extra cash. What should be the next mod? Here is how my car is currently set up:

1992 Civic VX
B18C1 motor
Injen CAI
IB Modified JG Header
High Flow Cat
2.5'' crushbent exhaust piping
Ground Control Adustable Springs (integra rates up front)
Koni Yellow Shocks
13'' vx wheels, stock tires (goodyear intrepids )

Lemme know what I should do next? New suggestions welcome. Thanks in advance.

You have a good suspension but **** tires. Either get new wheels and tires or A032Rs on the VXs. Later.

hydr0liks y0! Seriously though I'd say some new lightweight 15s and decent tires, driving school, or some nice tires on those VXs.

Its been said before but it needs to be repeated. Save a few hundred more and get some lightweight 15 or 16 inch rims and some sticky tires. Traction is key!

Thanks for the comments guys. I think I'm going to pick up some slipstreams (flame on spoon lovers) with azenis.

Don't get me wrong I love Spoon, but Slipstreams are just too damn played out. You might want to consider a nicer set of rims, and maybe a set of rims that every Tom, Dick, and Harry doesn't have. :lol:

i just got my slipstreams with falken aziens. they are awesome. the tires grip good as ****. they arent bad in the rain like everyone says. maybe in huge puddles but what tires arent. they are well worth it. if you need good prices i got mine for 400 for the rims and 66 apiece for the tires. pm me and ill let you know where i got them. and dont worry what anyone else says if you like them then get them. they are not played out they just look awesome on alot of cars. later

Yes a lot of people have them on here, but that's why we're all here we're Honda enthusiasts. With the exception of at the track I have NEVER seen anyone with them on the road.

I'll have to agree. I don't actually see a lot of people with slipstreams on the street. For the money, I think they're great wheels.
