Hello Honda-tech'ers!

My name is matt. I'm going to be totally honest with everyone here. I don't know the most about cars, but i was lucky enough to get a good deal on a nice EP3 hatch so i bought it. The car is totally stock with TONS of potential. I'm not looking to go for the "all out racecar" look, but i need some help on what i should start on first (internally)

My question is:

What are the top 5 things you would upgrade in a 2003 ep3 hatch that's totally stock, in order of importance? I want mostly a balance of performace and daily driving with more of a lean towards performace. Thanks!

I've also noticed my suspension takes bumps HARDDD. Is this normal?

Some specs i know:

It has 141,000 miles. (Highway miles)
It's clutch was replaced at 100k
No prior accidents
No internal work. (stock everything!)

Thank you all! <3 Merry christmas!

wow
i remember the day when i bought my car its totally the same look




well in my opinion check everything first before you upgrade maintenance comes first like check your brake pads, check the rotors, tranny oil and some other stuff
and IMO get a intake or drop it first

and also go to this website its really helpful too
www.ephatch.com
you'll find lots of helpful info there
and check the forums

and BTW the stock suspension is stiff and its really a bumpy ride so dont worry about it
