what should i do next to my car? cam gears and a CF hood?
speakers and a head unit? strut/sway bars and a 50 shot? or save my money? saving is a definite consideration unless i hear an idea that i cannot pass up. my mods are listed below, where to go from there? maybe a management system, port and polish, and cam gears. i dont know, of course i am looking for the most bang for the buck. i only want to spend $1500 this summer. thanks everyone.

if you have a warranty...nitrous may not be the best of ideas. Then again, it is reasonably easy to take off and best bang for buck

if you're looking to spend 1500 you should do your suspension, look into tein, real good quality and 1500 will get you a good one piece setup... as far as engine management you really wouldn't get your money out of it yet with the mods that you've listed... actually if you get the ss setup from tein you'd still have about 500 bucks leftover to spend so you could throw in some cam gears and some strut or sway bars...

i have the 2.5" drop race springs on from neuspeed. i also have a camber kit on ever corner. i respect u casper, i like the input u said. i know shocks are not necessary, but are they necessary for ur springs to last? i believe so.

sorry zippy! NRG sucks and i hope they all die. no i really do. they do terrible work and they have blwon up motors! they couldnt even complete an LS/vtec conversion for my friend. they ran an oil line from the pan to the head, but the nozzle was too small for the hose or some crap like that. vtec never worked for him. they need to die.

-oops i just added that 2.5" drop to my modlist

even tho i/h/e isn't going to add THAT much air, its still a nice thing to do. (especially if ur going to be going FI any time soon...besides having to build ur internals that is)

u can buy an aftermarket fuel pressure reg./fuel filter/fuel rail etc. its not going to get big gains, but its something to consider.

i have a fuel pressure regualtor, i think i fuel rail is a waste of money for hondas. they are quite nice as they are. well, unless u plan on revving past like 9k

unless I'm mistaken, which is entirely possible, the skunk2 cam gears are universal for both the 1.6L and 1.8L dohc motors, so you should be able to get them for the b18b...

no, cuz the b18b is non-vtec cams.

but shouldn't the cam gears be the same size?
