Default upgrade advice

I have $200 dollars to blow. I'm driving a 94DX coupe w/ D15B7. I've done my ram air and a front strut bar. Could someone with experience help me decide what to do next. I'm talking strictly performance. None of that apperance BS. Thanx

A bseries TB would be nice, but won't I put more money into it for port matching too?

vtec head/mini-me and a new tranny would be the best bang for the buck right now. You should be able to do either one for &lt; $300.

Make a plan, stick to it, save until you can afford quality parts. You will be better off in the end.

Another option would be suspension. You can get a good set of springs for well under $200. H&R sports should be fine on stock shocks until you have enough money to upgrade the shocks.

You could also look into getting some oem sway bars. Shouldn't be very expensive.
