i took in to consideration school and have quiet a bit in my savings account, the $2k is strictly for leisure, and i want to put it into my car before i transfer.

initially, i had thought i'm just gonna finish with the bolt-ons (ie. a header and an exhaust) though the prospect of rims (JDM Honda 17" ITR) and possibly lowering it sounds good too (thanks for the idea about suspension!).

If I had to put it in order of what's more important to me:
1. Appearance
2. Power
3. Sound

Had you asked me this question in High School, I would've put power first. I guess I'm getting old, and don't much care for racing it as much as I used to (plus your car get's crushed into a cube if you're caught street racing these days; in california).

In any case, i still need my JDM Front End put on. And I found a couple of buyers right here on Honda-Acura.net for my USDM front end.
If I go the route that I'm thinking now, I might have USDM ITR rims for sale soon too. Anyone know what I could get for them? They're not in perfect condition, but they're not wretched. I can post pics if necessary.

cool, if i were you,
1. Suspension, rims, new bulbs. (maybe a body kit, not important in my eyes though).
2. Finish your bolt-ons.
3. Audio: i have a system my friend's put together for me, i don't have a clue what to get here.

yea post pics.

Comptech doesn't make a supercharger for the itr, or the Integra for that matter.

Judging by your priorities i would say for you to go with the bolt-ons. If you don't plan on doing anything other than driving on the street getting suspension isn't necessary, unless you just want to lower the car. Another thing to consider is how the car will ride if you change the suspension. It's likely that you will lose comfort, and if you make a poor choice you will lose comfort and performance.

I would do sound upgrade, type R stereos are piece of Cr*p. Either that or go with nice larger rims.

The website for NASA's Texas Region is here, and they hold schools in both Texas and Louisiana.

The Driver's Edge also runs an excellent program of performance driving schools in Texas.

I think I would have a car cover if I had an ITR. Just a thought.

personally i wouldnt really go messin with the suspension unless ur goal is more for just lowerin the car, id say just go with the bolt ons 4-1 headers w/ 2.5 collector and then the 2.5 cat-back. and if u must get rims i would say go with the 16" jdm itr rims, but maybe thats just cause that what i got on my r
