Default mods suggestions

I use to own a 96 Mustang Cobra & decided to get something different. So I ended up buying this stock black 2000 ITR w/19k miles. I definetly know more about Stang's than Integra's.
What I want to know is what's best out there for this car & where should I start. I know the basic bolt ons. But I also want to know which one will give me the best performance. The car is an everyday driver but I want to flex on those v8 muscle cars. A friend of mine own an RSX and I remember smoking him all over the place with my Cobra & i dont want that happening to me .
Help me out here. Remember the car will be an everyday driver so we gotta put that in consideration.
I really dont care much about changing the looks im more into performance.

My suggestion.. Do not mod your car. Take it to a roadcourse/autox. Learn to drive (not trying to be insulting)

You will be more than happy w/the R's performance there. It's an excellent performer on the track.

Secondly, do your homework, see what mods WILL benefit the car. Everyone has their own opinion on mods, you really have to decide for yourself.

As long as the RSX is stock you shouldn't have to worry about modding your ITR.

Congrats on the new R, first thing you should get is an alarm, if your friend's type s is stock then you should be able to beat him

WHOA! WHOA! WHOA!

Im not worried about the RSX, why should I. Im more worried those V8's Camaro & Mustang especially.
I am planning to Autox it, thats the reason why I got rid of the Cobra. But I would still like to hang with the V8's. Is there something wrong with that? Its should be doable right?

By the way, Thanks for the Welcomes.

Please invest in a really good alarm system. Way too many ITRs have fallen victom to theft

As for mods on the R...
there are so many to choose from, but what you need to ask yourself is what is your budget and what do you want to use the car for?

The car came with an alarm system. I just usually take it to work & home straight in the garage.

As for mods on the R, ofcourse little at a time but the best money can buy. I wouldnt want to do it twice. Thats what I learn from past experience.
And like I said its gonna be a daily driver to work, but at the same time it will see the track here & there. I also want to run with the big boys ( V8's ) out on the streets .
In other words, I want best in both worlds. How am I going to do that?

It won't take much to run with stock v8s. If you want to out run any, turbo kit and tuning is a must.
