Next to do list?
What up everyone. I recently got a Honda ep3 05. Im new to the honda platform, coming from a nissan z32 game. Well I’m enjoying the ride a lot and theres a few things the car has.
DC Headers
Injen cold air intake
greddy exhaust
HPR wheels
Tein coilovers
so far the car isnt bad, but it seems a bit slower than I’m use to. What are some options I should take next? I thought boosting it would be nice but wanted to see if there are any other things you’d recommend.
also, I drive canyons a lot, so what do you guys recommend for suspension work, brakes, etc. but yeah my two main goals is to be able to cut my time on the canyon and still have a little more power to have fun with.

My take:
Kpro chip on stock hamster engine while you figure out if you want boost or an engine swap (I have a K20A and it's great, but other cheaper options out there)
RSX-S front brakes fit fine without modification
17" lightweight rims with good rubber
Civic Type R rear sway swap from JDMland
Tighter/lower driver's side seat
Rear ASR brace
CA acceptable cat if DC aren't race headers
Hybrid Racing short shift kit w/ **** of your choice
It's a very weak engine, so yeah, it will be slow. But there are some fixes, and swaps are pretty much foolproof these days.

Re: Next to do list?
Maybe u could try some weight reduction wheels back seats spare tire etc. Basic maintenance will probably fix ur issues since 200 hp is what k20 s put out. Why sell a modified car in the first place?
