To not know a lot about cars, it appears that you have high ambitions.

Good points. Get a game plan together and stick with it. Don't mix and match and cut corners and don't rush.

Remember too, that Hondas come set up pretty tight already, so once you start doing stuff to them, it's pretty much all or nothing. While you CAN do it piece-mill, bit-by-bit. It's best to do it all at once when it comes to the engine itself. Do your CIA and your headers and your exhaust or whatever; but once you get into the engine, whatever mods you do, go ahead and do it all at once.

Look for quality stuff for the Hondas like GReddy and DC Sports, etc.

Plan. Plan. Plan.

Look out for cheap aftermarket knock-off stuffs too.

Good luck.
