turbo - buy a kit, put it on, new exhaust, new clutch, and build internals.

non-turbo - i/h/e, new clutch, cams, cam gears, intake manifold, pistons for higher compression, ems, and tune. pending all on ur wallet size.

there are so many options and roads that u can take but it all depends on what ur goals are.

suspension, tires,intake,exhaust,high flow, header, ls/vtec, port and polish, tituam valuesprings, crower cams, skunk2 cam gears with some tuneing.
That is what i am going to do.
if you finish tuning and got money turbo it

i made my car look good first then got all the way to the header part about to do ls/vtec. my car looks like a R

the head im going to use is a b18c5 head.. look into ls/vtec do it right and it will be tight

Suspension, Brakes and Wheels/Tires. Those parts are very good and will help you out more than horsepower.

What are you looking for out of your car? How much moey are you willing to spend?

I would start off with suspension, brakes and wheels/tires; and then straight into the motor.

id agree with starting out with suspension too. Type R rear sway bar is a must. then you can look at wheel/tire combos then some springs/shocks or coilovers. Then id look into power. Id do a lot of research on what i want and make a list of parts that will complement each other.

welcome to the integra family

Like almost everyone, I want the most power for the buck. Integras look amazing, so I wont spend much on the looks. And for money wise, I have enought! but Im dont want to spend it foolishly!

Well do you prefer Vtec or Nonvtec? Turbo or Allmotor?
