your motor is still a baby.

Need to know first whether it's the Type S or base to determine what to do.

It all depends on your purpose of the car..... If your looking a getting performance I would go with a basic I/H/E and Hondata then work on them bad tires and suspension....

Hands down, Toda's head and cam package. The N/A horsepower they milk out of the K sincerely astounds me.

comptech exhaust is sick and the hondtata ecu reflash is great and jic majic is a very good way to go with suspention. But you should do wut ever you feel like. I agree that it depends on what you want to have happen.
