Get JDM mirrors, JDM headlights, JDM taillights, JDM bumpers, JDM dashboard, JDM carpet, interior panels, JDM headliner, JDM wheels, JDM suspension, a JDM motor, JDM body panels. JDM doors. JDM seats, JDM windsheild washer blades, JDM hoses, JDM engine, JDM lug nuts, JDM radiator fan, JDM exhaust, JDM header, JDM nuts and bolts, JDM glass, JDM wiring, JDM ecu, JDM cluster, JDM radio, JDM socks, JDM underwear, and you'll be all set.

Dont forget, since you want to be JDM, you will have to take everything off of your car that you added, throw it away and buy JDM counterparts for 10x the cost of whats on their now. The functionality will be the same, but hey, its JDM!

Ok seriously, **** making it "look jdm", way too expensive.

Load money into the suspension and tires like swaybars and azenis (or if you can afford it, pirelli's or yokohamas). Handling and grip is what you need for autocross.

Remember: your car doesn't NEED to be fast for you to do well at autocross, but it helps.

hp is good for acceleration, but in auto cross, it's better to not have to slow down in the first place. Really levels the field for all us under powered hondas.

get a nice set of tires, suspension components, and some brembos, and a rear disc conversion, and you should be set.

Well since you bought the car for 300 bucks, I would make sure that the engine is in good racing condition....... good gaskets and such.

After that if you don't have money for a b-series, then get a y8 head, intake manifold and tranny and do a mini-me swap, look it up and you'll find out what you need to do it. My mini-me in my 00 hatch is awesome for autocross, not too fast so I can't handle it.......

Good tires + good suspension + good brakes + lots of practice = autocross master.
