The title may be a little misleading, but I have some questions. I just recently and luckily acquired a 1996 Integra GSR for $2,700. The owner was my brother-in-law and he knew nothing about it. I checked the vin, engine, door sticker and everything and it was in fact a GSR with no bad history. Its never been in accident and all the interior is clean and fresh.

Previously:
It has been 4 years since I last stepped into the driver seat of an Integra. I had terrible luck with my previous two. Had them stolen in less than a year after ownership. After my second Integra was stolen I stepped away from the tuner scene and tried to forget everything about it. I left my team and left all my friends. I drove an automatic Corolla for 3 years, but when I heard my brother-in-law wanted to get rid of his Integra I just had to have it. The minute I stepped inside of it I had all these flashbacks of back in the days when I used to cruise with my team. I still remembered how to drive stick after all those years without driving it!

Presently:
I got into contact with all my old friends and it turns out they're still rollin' together. They've invited me to join their team again. They are now more active and go to sanctioned racing events on a weekly basis. I see that two of my previous closest friends have their cars fixed up. One of them has a 99 Integra sedan with LS-Vtec turbo and the other is running an AE86 N/A. The team is still pretty much mostly consisting of Hondas, with the exceptions of an MR Evo, Mustang Cobra, RX-7, 350Z, and a couple 240s.

Now I'm sitting on with this B18C1 and $4000 extra to spend on it. My friends told me that with a little over $2000 I can turbo my B18C1. I only have @ $4000 to spend on it. What should I do first?

I'm still relearning everything and don't know everything. When I left the tuner scene, I tried to completely forget everything about tuner cars. Should I wait and save up some more? By the end of this year I'm planning to drop $8K total on it. I want a good suspension system, brake system, and of course a good engine set up. My friends are the experts on all this and they're the ones who are pushing me to fixing this car up. I just want a fast Integra I can take to college. I'm not looking for a drag car, I want control it too, since I'm interested in entering a racing school sometime next year.
