What do you guys think i should upgrade next?
I have a '95 civic with:
B18b swap, headers, intake, short shift, stage 1 clutch, slotted front brakes, struts and springs, 2 1/2" piping, and si rims w/falken azenis.
The main thing i want to do is to get a turbo kit eventually when i have the money, but in the mean time what do you guys think i should upgrade to get better performance out of my car. Thanks for your input.

Dont buy **** for the motor until you are completely done with the turbo purchase. Get some security too. That is pretty much all you can/should do.

Secure your car and drive it the way it is until you find out your whp goals, how reliable you want it and what needs to be done to the motor. You can make nice numbers on stock internals, but the questions always remains... how long will it last?

Do pistons+rods+bearings+headstuds. That's an investment you won't lose.
When you go turbo, you're going to lose your intake and headers, not to mention you're going to need your exhaust re-worked.

Re: (doood)
Ok. so i know i want to get it tuned when i get it done, but i've never had a car professionally tuned before. how do you go about finding a good place to do that? are they pretty common?

If you get wheels/tires, get security at the same time. nothing sucks more than losing your car because of poor security.
Speaking of which, I need to do to my car.
