Check past posts for what others with B16's have done to make power. 4-1 DC header, AEM intake, good complete exhaust. I would do the AEM first, it's the best bang for the buck.

I would do intake, header, cams! Probably get the most hp with that combo to start off...

swap it

but seiously get soem good coilovers and good shocks/struts those will last you a while and make you fall in love with the look of your car. its kind of like starting fresh then once you start on the suspension you have a whole bunch of new ideas on what to do.

just my .02

[change the final drive to 4.9 and you'll love your car.


your acceleration would improve a whole hell of a lot.
you would feel the difference compared to intake/header/exhaust...

depends on what you want to do. Do you want all motor or turbo? If you don't know yet, then build the suspension and start reading to see which one you like best.

Wow your posts are full of stimulating intellectual input aren't they?

********

In response to the original question.....it depends what you want to do with the car. I started out with sorting the suspension on mine, then did a swap to a B16 (hydrolock's a bitch, eh!?!!!). Adding the bolt-ons is a good way to start to learn about your car too, without the risk of seriously screwing something up. The AEM or Iceman cold air intake (or DIY aka "Slatertake") will work well, and make nice noises if that's your bag.

HTH (more than some idiots)
