total newbie needs help

well then if you plan on street racing, you are going to want to focus on the engine solely. the first thing i would do is determine my budget. if it is high enough, i would do an engine swap. basically it's taking a better (more powerful) engine from another honda and drop it in your engine bay.

if you have a relatively small budget, you can do the typical add-on's. this includes headers, cam gears, turbo/super charger, nos, exhaust system, pulleys, ECU, short shifter, forged and polished/bigger pistons, new suspension, brakes, all of that good stuff and so on. these add-ons can range in price from 50.00- 3000.00+

and of course if you want to go all out, you can do all of the above to significantly increase the power of your car.

typically, the more money you have, the better off you are for this type of thing
