Default just bought a 98 prelude [need help]

hey guys i just bought a 98 prelude and i need help on whats good to buy for it. Like modifications for the street . I was already thinking about a CAI for the stock vtec. I was told it doesnt realy do anything if its on a stock engine. I was a body kit too but im still not sure about that...im willing to spend up to 5g if i have to. I dont care about looks i just care about whats on the inside . PLEASE HELP

JR Supercharger..$3000. it will boost your cars power and torque quite nicely. It will increase the ~160 HP you get to your wheels to around 230. Wish I had the $3000, because that would be one of the first.

you have an auto. basically, any modification that you do will be worthless from a speed standpoint.

save that 5000 bucks for when you need to replace the tranny (b/c it'll eventually die), swap in a manual, and go from there.

check this out this is a good kit for a stock motor without re sleeving the motor for more than 8psi

if you want to go past 8psi i heard eagle sleeves or darton sleeves are a must with new cams

if i had 5grand i would buy a motor that was built right and blow about 20psi into it

check these fags beating a viper with their civic si with a 20psi system
pretty sick shit hahaha

you want to BOOST a SS prelude?

as if there won't be enough things going wrong anyway...

like i said, modifying an automatic prelude is like wiping your ass with $100 bills. A shitty waste of money.
