Default Proud New Owner EK 97 Hatch!!!

Hey ppl just received my first car ive been search for a project being that imma be in school for another 4 years. Ooook well this is my 97 Ek hatch, d16y7 non vtec STOCK! i purposely received a stockcar to personalize it the way i want. I really want to Jdm style my car. No crazy *** body kits or Spoilers. If imma get a spoiler its gnna be the type R. i know my hood is a little out of the ordinary but it came with the car soo i had no choice. I know a little bit here and there about hondas but if i would compare myself to a honda specialist i would say i workon tricicles if you catch my drift. Well im not sure what to do first i want to start with engine but ive been reading on threads that B series would be a good pick for me. Give me everthing you got if you got good or bad comments hit me with'em cuz thats the only way imma figure my stuff out. Thanks and glad to be here...

The more work, the more fun!

and for posting pics, use the one that says for forums and bulletin boards. And change the [IMG] to lower case. for example

[img]www.picture.com[img] insted of [IMG]www.picture.com[IMG]

yea I decided to drop my car with Skunk 2 lowering springs and add front and rear lip kit...

As for the engine Its really hard to get money since I'm only working part time and I'm in school..

I really want to switch to a B series but the cash isn't there so I have to wait...

Should I add new accesories such as springs or straight to engine???

Thanks for all the replies...

Hatches own. Id go springs first, they change what your car is completely for a very low price.
