Okay, here is the situation... I just got a white Integra RS (1995) with 65k miles. Currently, basically everything is stock (dented crappy-assed spoiler that needs replaced...). I have $8,000 that I would just love to play with . I'd love to make any modifications that would give me more power, but i also wanted to give it some show. If you were in my situation about to modify wisely, how would you spend it, and what would you do to it? Thanks, anything will help. $8,000 budget.

exhaust is fairly cheap and looks good if you like the huge tailpipe. and its a basic bolt on so its a good place to start....and setting off car alarms in parking structures is fun (sorry....yes i'm a kid) nice suspension looks good too.

are you planning on going all motor or do want turbo or such in the future? if you do ignore me and seek advice from the smart people.

ooooOOOOooo!!! if you want go and show, slap a turbo kit on there with nice intercooler up front. i have heard alot of good things about rev-hard, and that will cost you about $5000 total. then you will wan to to get some springs and shocks. eibach pro-lines and KYB AGX are some to look at. that will be around $1000. then you will want to make sure you can stop good, so i would get some powerslot or powerstop rotors, good brake pads (i liked Axxis organic pads) on the front, and at least DOT4 brake fluid. that should cost you less than $500. Then with the rest of your money, replace your spoiler, and see if you can find some rims you like and have a set of good tires put on them, such as BFG's G-Force TAkd's.

Hmm that is a HUGE budget.

RevHard Stage 2 Turbo kit (comes with all the goodies)
Block Guard the engine
Apexi N1 or Greddy Evo (pretty sure both are loud)
AEM CAI (cuz everyone has one)
Denso Iridium Spark Plugs (all the little cheap stuff)
Enkei RF1's (16" or 17") with nice tires (these rims are sweet)
Koni Yellows or KYB's and Eibach's or H&R's
Convert the body to JDM (very nice) and add a CF Hood
Alpine head unit, Kenwood Amp, MTX subs in the trunk
Momo Accessories
Brembo Brake upgrade
Maybe bore out your engine some more, port and polish, make sure it has all the little engine mods needed for the turbo...
I dunno, there is SO MUCH you could so with 8 grand (doubt you could do all of the above) but definitely make sure you boost.
Send us a pic of it when you're done!
