£1500 Spending money. Any idea's on how to start of my stage 1...?

[newerakaye]

hi guys.
i have a 100% standard ep3 and am looking to do some upgrades. im not fussed about looks atall. i just want performance. have done some research but always intrested in others ideas. i kno £1500 isnt alot in the scheme of things but any ideas would be much appreciated. another thing to keep in mind is. i would like to spend more on the car. but at this moment in time i have a rather empty pocket for my civic. so any money i do spend i want to keep on the car and not have to upgrade those parts again, next pay check. (hope that makes sense to you all)
cheers

Nice induction kit, full exhaust system decat.

i'm in similar situation as you.

I would get these in order:

fast road setup (fix rear tire wear too) » exhaust » Induction kit » ECU remap.

the last 2 will push pass that limit but the first 2 i will def get as that makes the biggest difference, the induction not so much but the ECU remap finishes it all off as i dont plan to get a supercharger or get a turbo.

£900 - Kpro + mapping
£300 - RBC + gasket (second hand)
£130 - B Pipe off one of the guys on here
£170 - Some kind of induction kit, AEM v2 etc.. (or Hondata mod with air feed)

They're a bit close to the mark, but I reckon if you shopped about on't forums you could get bits for those prices.
