If you want to fix it up then do it! Don't rely on other people's opinions when fixing up your car.....

I would put a AEM cold air intake(about $120) on it to start. It doesn't sound like you are ready for anything to insane yet, but the AEM CAI isn't to pricy. It is fun when reving high hearing a small noise from the front of your car too & you can feel the slight power gain.

where can u find an AEM cai for 120??

head over to Team-Integra.net and read some articles. Then stick around their integra boards and this one, and just read everything that sounds interesting. There's more to our little tegs than u ever imagined

now go, young grasshopper

yeah check out team-integra.net, believe me you won't regret it. though do read the articles....print them out...and study. that way you will know what's up when your friends don't. and you can tell people what to do to their cars.
for now figure out if you want it to be faster, 1/4 mile, autox, just the outside or what the purpose of the car is. oh and your budget. and then go from there.

You can never go wrong with fixing up a GSR. You can do the basic three modifications: Intake, Headers, and Exhaust. This is if you are a minor performance junky. If you are more into appearance, you can lower the car with some good struts, throw on some 17's, a carbon fiber hood, light tint, and some white gauge faces. If you are a music system type of guy, you can drop in a motorized tv, with cd/dvd player, an eq, a crossover, a mid amp, a sub amp, and (2) 12" subs. All you have to do is sit down and think about how much you want to spend and what is your cup of tea. I hope this helps point you in some sort of direction. I apologize for all those guys who got pissed off at you.

yeah fix her up!

Write this down:
Rev hard turbo kit (T3, T4)
ClutchMaster Clutch
Boost Guage
15in Spoon wheels with falken tires
NEX coilovers
Type R pistons and rings

That should be good to get you started

ITR Pistons with a Turbo kit isnt really the best advice around...the ITR piston compression wouldnt really be optimal with turbonium.

Doesnt it lower the compression? Isnt that what you want to turn up your boost?

No, putting in B18C5 Pistons is a bad idea. His best bet is to keep his stock pistons until he can purchase some nice forged pistons with lower compression. In the meantime, he can run 7-10 psi with that Drag 3 Kit that was recommended.
