my absic thinking would be absic as well ... smaller steering wheel, better seats, and then free up the breathing ... i would get an SMS or hytech exhaust, new intake and a hondata. that's about it. the R is REALLY good from the factory... in japan ... but the fact that we got F.U.C.K.E.D. on the seats and the steering wheel REALLY REALLY REALLY pisses me off, but you can change those things pretty easily.
