Default Starting EP-3 build, need some advice

Before I get burned to shreads, I did search first and didn't find the answer (if i misssed a thread plz post a link)

I'm still under warnantee for another few months so im trying not to go crazy yet and stick to a few basic bolt ons for now. Iv'e added an N1 exhaust, Tien Lowering Springs/Shocks, And DC Sports Header. I'm gonna upgrade the intake next, Anyone prefear one brand to another. I was gonna go with the Password:JDM, but its kinda pricey and i dont wanna mess with battery relocation while in under warnantee. On my last Civic i had an AEM short ram, but im torn between getting another AEM, or Injen or one of the K&N systems. I know the brand doesn't make a huge difference but i just wanted to know if anyone has a preference?

Im building my car for a road race setup on the track. Can anyone point me in the direction that i would wanna go next in the may of modding?

road race: mugen intake, hytech header and exhaust. stage 2 cams + springs and retainers.
u might wana do more suspension that power tho.
tein springs meaning s techs or..? if it is then its a bit soft for the tracks.

save ur money wait till ur warranty is done then go crazy.

A pipe is a pipe. Get any no name brand off ebay with a k&n filter and guaranteed it works better than AEM, INJEN, Fujita etc. Gains will be minimal ( 5hp max) regardless of brand. .


Also try a search. This topic has been covered a million times before and theres no need for a thread such as this.

They are the High Techs, They are a pretty good medium, not so stiff that you feel every pothole, but stiff enough to handle better than stock. My buddy has s-techs on his corolla S and they always seem a little sloshy (then again thats what you would expect from a toyota ).
