tbody, ignition, headers, exhaust, intake, chip.<p>Good place to start might be an Cold Air Intake.<p>The current favorite is the Iceman Intake System. Check out <a href="http://integra.vtec.net/iceman.html" target="_blank">http://integra.vtec.net/iceman.html</a> for a review.<p>Other intakes to check out are AEM's Cold Air intake as well as the Racing Sports Akimoto Funnel Ram2 (filter made by K&N now, not S&B)<p>You may also want to DIY and make your own effective intake kit with dryer  hose for your cold air.<p>You'll won't gain a lot of noticeable power, but it will make the car sound a lot meaner.

what you need is a turbo........a big ass, kick in the pants, swallow your tongue turbo....mwahhaha. but if thats a lil too much.....the typical Intake, exhaust and headers is a good way to start out. Its how most NA cars start.

how much horsepower are you exactly looking for?
what's your budget?

Save your money for a supercharger or a turbo...<p>You'll thank me later for it <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.asianet.ca/images/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo--><p>Work on the suspension and brakes first

what are your goals and how much do you want to spend?  be very specific on your goals.<p>cya

get a cold air intake, i can hook you up for &#36200, then save up for a JacksonRacing supercharger.
upgrade your suspension with some coilovers(the real ones), upgrade your brakes, find a set of light weight wheels and a set of grippy tires.

Motec Standalone Exhaust, lol.<p>If you have little &#36&#36&#36 buy an intake and cat back.  They won't make your car really any faster, but it will be louder and feel like a race car <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.asianet.ca/images/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo--><p>If you have some &#36&#36&#36 saved up, buy a Jackson Racing supercharger.  I think Greddy has some really cheap turbo kits for the car too, like &#361800US.

I'ver heard on more than one occasion about the poor quality of Greddy kits, especailly with Manifold cracks.  Furthermore they come with zero customer support and rudimentary timing/fuel upgrades.  If you go down this path, make sure you understand the big picture.
