Besides basic bolt on mods such as intake and exhaust i would keep it simple since you are planning or wanting a swap anyways. If you arent looking into a swap theres more things you can do but id say just save your money or buy you a mount kit so that the money you have doesnt go anywhere youll regret it going.

A GSR would be pretty nice in that. Just use that B16 tranny cause its gonna be the only way you will put a GSR in there til someone makes a redily available Hydro 4G mount kit.

Good luck

Intake, Header, Exhaust

Then stop there if you're swapping.

I wouldn't get the intake or the header...

They won't fit on the GSR motor.. but the exhaust would work ...

I would't drop the car yet either..you may want to get new springs after the swap the compensate for the extra wight your going to have up front..

and it would be a "Speed Govener, or RPM limit. Stock CRX's here in the US only have the rev limiter..and they are there for a reason, and should only be messed with if you upgrade your valve train. either case your goin to need a new ECU any how..so no use in upgrading your current one..

best mod would be for you to get a clear idea of what you want the car to look like and drive like after your done..

besides saving weight, better acceleration, braking, and cornering, and it is FREE!

Hey you're from Surrey too. Lots of us in here now.

First thing I would do is get a quality exhaust.

yeah it will, but not the d series header that you would buy for your rex. b series header is different from d. that's what he was getting at.
