get a good suspension, wheels, and some really good tires on it. that will make it a blast to drive, then do the brakes. then, once its all set up a sa chassis, drop in a dual cam, or maybe turbo the stock motor.

welcome to the forum, yeah your z6 is a good motor so stick with it a turbo is a great way to make good power. the z6 is very beefy if you take care of it it will take care of you. yeah start modding with an intake header and exhaust. they are the essentials when building a honda.

right, exhaust manifold.

If your looking for cheap mods, one of the best things to do is painting. Give your engine bay a thorough cleaning, then take off some of the "easy to take off AND REPLACE" parts just as brackets, fuel pump, valve cover, etc.. Give them all a nice coat of new paint and make that civic look nice and tidy.
