I will reply before the vultures eat you alive!!! Do a search!!! I will give you a quick run down, but this is just a partial list!!!!
CAI or Cold Air Box
HEADERS!!!! (Comptech)
Exhaust
Springs (all kinds)
Sways (all kinds)
SuperCharger (Comptech near future)
Resonator (near future)
VTEC controller
ECU mod (near future)
Upper strut bar
Front brakes
Don't forget to check out the post about the 6 speed manual coming out!!!! It is at the top of Car Talk!!!!
I am sure there are more and a whole bunch of companies to look into!!!!! Also, click on the sponser, AutoCarParts Online. You can put your car make and model and get a ton of mods!!!
Hope you find what you are looking for!!

wait that vtec controller. I have a CLP and i think vtec kicks in at 5500 rpm or somewhere high like that, if i get hte controller, does that mean i can set it lower like 3800rpm like the type S? is it safe to use?

BTW - VTEC kicks in @ 4800 on the Type-S.

How's this for a cross-section? From the rock throwers to peoples who would toss helpful tidbits. Anti-sway bars and tires seem to be the first and most common first modifications.

mike8_5_8to6_1_9: I have considered the CT SC, but I'd like to remain NA. So, I am considering the 3.5 mod. How did you go about doing it(seeing as how you're not anywhere near Rick Case)? I'm even farther away...I'm in rainy Vancouver so going to Rick Case is definitely out of the question. Any helpful information would be appreciated. Please reply here or start a new thread. Or, you can just email me allenleung@home.com....just don't pm me, I never check that

it was very difficult to acquire the parts...acp was no help...i had rick case send the parts straight to some jap auto tech guru's in daygo...they took care of it all...6000$...id reccomend putting the supercharger in...my experience with comptech parts has been very consistent...4500 for 60-70 horses and a shitload of high end acceleration...the sc is where its at...truuust me...contact rick case's racing development section if youre really serious though...
