I have another idea...if you're gonna suggest a turbo again, take it and shove it. How many times do I have to say he is not interested?

Bumnah, suspension mods ARE the most important...I've steered him towards that heavily. He's one of my best friends and his parents have some moolah but are really weird and he doesn't have a computer or premium cable. He has Bridgestone Potenza S-03's on some nice 16" rims with a small drop (I think 1.5") and stiffer shocks. But his car is pitifully slow, and he'd like to preserve his engine. The last thing he wants is to buy a "custom turbo" and have it **** everything up.

ALL I WAS WONDERING was if I/H/E was worth it (1000 bucks or so for quality stuff) and IF NOT, what SIMPLE mods would be worth it, such as flywheel, clutch, cams, etc etc?

Thank you for your imput Weston, I appreciate it. Have you driven a GS-R lately? if so, is there a noticeable power increase in it, like where the VTEC kicks in? I know the B18B doesn't have VTEC and I guess I'm trying to ask if you really notice NOT having VTEC and wish you had it. I know I love mine.
