the d16 is a good choice for power to weight ratio. Especially if your not worried about making it fast as hell and unpractical or just want a nice daily driver. I wouldn't go any bigger than a 2 liter engine otherwise the front end is way too heavy. the lighter and more even the weight distribution the better. what coil over, suspension components, and footwork you thinking about?

by foot work I mean what rims and tires are you going to use. for 300 whp I would do a K Swap and build up the engine from the inside out. 300 isn't unheard of through a N/A K20 also if your going for 300 or more you might look at getting new gears for your tranny otherwise you could blow a few. I've seen and heard many horror stories of this happening. I know dog box makes new gears for the K Series but considering they are straight cut gears, they make the typical noise of a reverse gear; not practical in a street car. haven't checked into the D or B Series though but it might be something worth looking into. If your sticking around 250 whp you should be fine.

For the sound system you should line thw whole car with Dyna Mat it would greatly reduce the road noise and enhance the sound system. one problem is it would increase the weight.
