Default I Don't know which i should do first

I have been latelly thinking about getting my crx "fixed up" . it's running perfectly so far. But i have come to so many things that i dont know which one to do first ! so i would like to know from you guys what would you do. First things first. I decided to go turbo , so the first thing i did was to .... TAKE ALL THE AC OUT ! ehehhe. done that. Alot more space ... now i have come to these ...

- Relocate Battery
- New Manifold + TB
- Wire Tuck w/o taking engine out (maybe taking it)
- Paiting the engine bay
- Clean / Paint engine !
- Change my back struts ... i have done the front the back still OEM , front tokicos
- Back brake upgrade
- Change the way my car sounds (way to loud, not annoying.... but loud)
- Turbo it (this i know is last for sure)
- New crossmember
- i have 17" sokudo (ADR) i think about going back to 15" or 16" lightweight with about 2 finger clearance from tire to body... (what spring drop should i get ?)
- Buy new axels mine are BAD

i have brake 91 integra MC to put on so i should have better braking. I think that would be the next... but i'm very confused about the rest ..

obviously the axles, cuz if you break one, a 300 dollar towing fee isn't too nice

-Do the Integra Booster/MC
- Relocate Battery
I put these as one step
-1 Wire Tuck w/o taking engine out (maybe taking it)
-2 Paiting the engine bay
-3 Clean / Paint engine
- Back brake upgrade If you do larger front rotors upgrading the back won't do anything for you, I know this for a fact, I wasted my money doing the back to rear disc, they look better that is about all
- New crossmember
- Turbo it (this i know is last for sure)
- New Manifold + TB

That is how I would do it. Put your maint items first then worry about building better. For suspension I would get GC's coil overs on with Tokica Illuminas or setup to Koni yellows

well, what motor do u have. its not a Daily Driven than u have tons of things to do. if it was me i would swap motors and then while the motor is out and u can get to every thing then i would go with the wire tuck, paint, ect. then put inthe swap bam fast car well entell u get used to be pulled back in ur seat.then put a tubro to it. if it not something that must be done right alway take ur time. u'll change ur mind most likely 10time or more reguardless of what we say. u'll see some thing done and want to change what u got.

besides i think the honda thing isn't about having a fast car it just there so many things u can do to a honda. thats why every one likes them. no 2 honda are alike, course there are people that like to copy what some has done and that ok as long as it has there own style.
