Single best mod
 
If at this point in time i would like to keep my car n/a what would the single best mod be. Now i am only 17 so an engine swap is out for right now and i have i/h/e and an upper strut. So i guess what im asking is what would be the best mod for me that will make the biggest hp gain while staying on somewhat of a budget?

He's got a 98 DX, it says in his name. It would help if you gave us an idea of what type of a budget your on.

no HP gain, but much much better handling

For you, since you have a DX, I'd say the best mod you could do now is go for a mini me with a D16y8 head. Since this will be much cheaper than a regular engine swap. There is a right up on it in the DIY forum, and I believe an approx cost is in there aswell.

The mini me swap has been a thought. As for budget im looking at around $600

At this point in time im looking for power over suspension. I want to squeeze a little more out of my engine. Next comes suspension.

RE: Single best mod
 
if you really want power then this is your order of mods:

EX Tranny
EX Head
EX intake manifold

but im with MXS on this one...suspension should come first.

k thankx for all the help. I plan on doing both the mini and the suspension its just the order im switching. But dont worry the suspension should be within the next year

ok so if i would go with suspension what should i all get. Are there kits out there or what?

a lot of people here are fans of the Tein S-Tech springs. You use them with your stock shocks and you can get a set for <$200. They drop your car by about 1.8".
