Default I got money burning a hole in my pocket... what to buy?

Here's what i could use:

extra B16A1 and transmission - $650
New race tires - $450
Race seat (thinking Corbeau Forza) - $300 (including brackets)
New shocks and springs - $750 (Koni yellows w/ eibach springs)
New bushings - $140
New Helmet (Bell M2) - $250
Camber kit (want a GOOD camber kit) - ?

Otherwise, I have no clue what I could spend it on. I need ideas! I'm not all that concerned about upgrading the internals of the engine (ie.
cams, camgears, valvetrain, etc).

Here's a mod list of what i have: members.aol.com/hondacrxhf/

I can't make up my mind.

So your from LV...you either did well at the casino..or got your taxes back. New shocks/springs/bushings would be a great improvement to any car

New bushing willn't be a bad choice. It will stiffen up the car quite will and they are cheap but can be a bitch to install.

Get a 4-1 header.
Tires would be good, too.

If you haven't done so yet, the best investment IMO would be in a racing school.

thanks for some of the ideas.

I'd do the road event things, but, i don't want my tires to crap out on me prematurely.

The z10s look interesting. A short review of them was in GRM...might check it out.
