It all depends on what you want the car to do and what your budget is. The first performance upgrade I would recommend is a set of coilovers. A decent suspension set up will make the car much more enjoyable. If you just want to go faster, the most viable options are
1) turbo
2) nitrous
3) H22 engine swap

Bolt ons like intake, header, exhaust, pulleys will not yeild much for results. Chips are usually a complete waste of money. Good luck!

Just keep in mind that it is an Accord, not a Mustang or a 'Vette.

Quick word of advice that will get you far on this board.... Either learn correct english or just take the time to enter your text in correct english. It gets kinda old sitting around here reading other users "Engrish" all day long.

id go with suspension first, but if you are just looking for more power there are a couple of things you can do with out shelling out big bucks for a turbo or engine swap. intake/header/exhaust is the most basic. pulley kit might yeild a few horsepwer. if you are looking for a more serious gain than bolt ons, i would say find a new cam for your car, find a shop to port and polish the head, and get a bored out intake manifold and throttle body.
