oeldisplay,

Don't fret. These guys are a bit harsh on you, but don't take it personally. I can't help you much on the looks stuff as my CRX is a trailered track car and I've sold off stuff like the rear spoiler since it's added weight.

Cruise around on this board and other boards as well as some random google searches. By doing this myself, I've managed to figure out pretty quickly that I can upgrade brakes front and rear by getting myself a 1G Integra (86-89) and following some simple instructions.

I've also learned that I can increase the power in my car by replacing the CRX engine with that from the same generation Integra with very little extra work. For me, that means a boost from about 90hp to about 118hp plus a better ratio in the transmission.

I just picked up an 88 Integra for the astronomical <sarcasm> price of $120. For me, cheap mods are good mods. These little cars make great track cars. I've spent the past year getting used to mine on the track and started out mid pack with spec Miatas. I'm now past that and running with M3's pretty evenly. Light is good! Once I make my way high enough on the mod ladder, I'm shooting at the Shelby Cobras on the track. I'm already faster than them in the corners, but all that torque just blows me away on the straights.
