I think thats it i may be forgetting a few things, but if you search you'll find this stuff for pretty cheap and be pretty happy

As for install

Millenium Autosports
Tuners Edge

they'd even put the kit together for you, but they'll rape you up the ass in parts and labor.. there are some other shops, I just don't know em cuz I dont use em , when the time comes and you have all your pieces im sure someone will help you
Thanks, I think Im gonna find those parts you suggested and find someone to install them, because changing the whole transmission seems to be to much of a messy job. Once I have all this finished, do you think I stand a chance to beat some people..like some civics, preludes, and a few other cars that are kinda up there?

once you learn about cars then you can start modding them how YOU want them to be done.... dont come in here and ask how everyone else wants your car.
Im just getting some advice, doesnt necessarily mean Im going to follow everything I hear. Thats what Im trying to do now, learn MORE about modding my car how I want it. Thanks for your concern.

You better do some of your own research before just buying parts someone suggest to you... Try http://www.newcelica.org/forums/ and read everything you can under the forced induction section. Ask questions, make sure you understand the theories, and talk to some local shops. This isn’t something you just jump head first into without understanding all you can first.

25k? Sounds like you got ripped off, especially for a GT, sure it isnt a GT-S or maybe you should knock 6k off that price.

Best mod is the driver, learn your car first. Drive it around before modding it and get a feel for it. Once you do that you can then decide what you dont like about it. That's a lot of money to throw around and just start changin parts on it.

Okay. ill sum up:

If you can take it back and get a GT-S manual- do so.

if not- moving on.

Learn the car. take it to one or two AutoX days on sunday- in pungo- info in newspaper for friday.

learn the vehicle- its nuances- and if it makes ya happy. remember. after a certain point, modding is going to make the car less reliable- as of now. youll be fine with intake, header back exhaust and a suspension system. none of these will inheirently comp. the car. but allow you to have fun.

there is nothing wrong with asking for MOD ideas. ask till your hearts content. then research- decide what you want.
