Hello, my story goes like this...
I used to own a F22a prelude S 1995.

Then bought a 2003 SI at a dealership for a amazing price and its Honda certified!
(Ive worked at Honda for 2 years in between college)

I love this car! It's so much fun and it made me fall if love with Honda all again

I then got the itch FROM LOOKING AT YOUR CARS ON THIS FORUM!
My wallet give you a big **** you!!! jk guys I love this site. The reason Im here!

My mod list goes like this:
Sprint Sport springs
AEM Cold Air Intake
Dc Sports ceramic header
Nvidia full catback exhaust

But now once again I want more...
Im curious as to what mods I should look for?
I read alot of other posts that are the same as mine but nothing really gets
said but big dreams! I realize a super charger would be nice, but Im thinking
realistic... what mods would go well with what I got and provide a benefit in
performance???

strut bars?
vtec controller and tuning?
CF?
short throw shifter and bushings?
grounding kit?

humm...

your the experts!

thanks again!

If you really want more you will have to decide na or fi. That is what you have to decide.

 

NA.

Not into the FI option.

Seems like if I go the NA route I can spend as I go....?

FI seems like alot of money up front.

any mods should I go for next?

 

anyone

 

My opinion, work on your suspension and brakes next.

You've got the springs already, get a good rear sway bar. You can get find an RSX sway bar cheap and that is a good upgrade. Even better is to go to the aftermarket and get a 22+mm bar. Progress is good bang for the buck, Neuspeed has one and there are several others. Leave the front sway bar alone, doesn't need anything there. Get some sort of cross brace, Neuspeed and D3 designs are the only two I'm aware of but there may be others. Shocks/struts are a good upgrade too, and you are going to have to do it sooner or later. They can wait for a little while though if they are too pricey.

For the brakes get some stainless lines, good pads and high temp fluid. Unless you take the car on a road course, or do some severe canyon runs or something like that then you do not need a big brake kit. All stainless steel lines will be more or less alike, goodridge (or is it goodrich?) makes a quality product for one example. There are literally dozens of good brake pads out there. Hawk HPS, EBC Greenstuff, Axxis Ultimates, Carbotech Bobcats are a few widely available examples. Any high temp brake fluid will work for you, but stay away from racing fluids, they are meant to be changed before every track event, and don't work well for street cars. ATE Super Blue is a good example, but again there are others. You don't need new rotors, unless you just want to get them for looks. If you just have to get them go with slotted only, not drilled. Drilling just weakens the rotor, and there is no real benefit to it anymore.

This guy has the right idea. After I/H/E on my lude I moved on to the suspension/ braking department, and I couldn't be happier The extra grip and confidence that these upgrades have to offer really allow you to utilize your cars power to its full potential.

 

suspension 1st. tokico blue hp shocks :] camber kits.. sway bars.. struts... after that ... if not engine swap.. go get some rev hard turbo :] $3800 installed including hondata reflash

couldn't have said it better myself.

 

Race Header and HONDATA K-Pro or K100.

 

Type S head swap, Hondata K-Pro 180+ to the wheels with supporting bolt on's

 

adjustable shocks. koni, agx, whatever.

bracing and bars are a waste.

get the larger rear sway bar.

 

im with Kung Fu. get a set of Tokico HP's or D-Specs and a camber kit to go along with that, SPC is a good one. and then a rear sway from an RSX (Type-S and base are the same) 19mm for around $50, or a CTR rear sway 22mm which is about $100.
