i don't consider alarm, tint....etc as mods, but everyone has a different definition
besides a couple interior accessories, i only have:
1. AEM pulleys
2. K&N air filter
hopefully before this summer :
3. tires and some 17 inches wheels too while i am at it
4. performance driving school
5. apexi WS or thermal

My current mods...in order...
1. Wings West RS kit + clear lights + drop (2nd day I had the car)
2. Pager Alarm
3. JDM Fogs
4. Greddy Evo Exhaust
5. RSX 5 speed shift knob
6. Carbon Fiber Hood
7. Custom interior lights done by Jon aka Asiankidd
8. Panasonic Head Unit
9. Reverse Indiglos
Not much engine mods because...well you'll see in my potential choices for future mods...
My potential mods...in order of which seems more likely (from A-D)
Option A
1. Greddy Turbo kit w/FMIC and Greddy Type S bov + various gauges
2. Clutchmasters Stage 3 clutch w/Flywheel
3. Hondata 2b
4. Rims
5. Maybe another cf hood? Maybe not?
Option B
1. JRSC + various gauges
2. Injen Intake w/heatshield
3. DC Headers...would like a custom Kamikaze one though
4. JR VPAC
5. Clutchmasters Stage 3 clutch w/Flywheel
6. Hondata 2b
7. Rims
8. Again, maybe a cf hood...
Option C
1. FMAX turbo kit + various gauges + Tial wastegate to replace the Deltagate one
2. Clutchmasters Stage 3 clutch w/Flywheel
3. Hondata 2b
4. Custom 3" downpipe and 3" exhaust
5. Rims
6. Again...maybe cf hood
Option D
1. Nada...save my money...
Option D is obviously the "smart" choice...but who wants to do that?
Of course, basic bolt ons wouldn't be needed if I went one route, whereas I would need them if I went the other...so yeah decisions!
Exactly why I have no engine mods. But realistically I don't think I'm getting a turbo unless the Greddy kit is really good, so I might start getting little bolt-on things for my lude.
1) lots of little interior things
2) Invader Body Kit w/ V-Spec Spoiler
3) R33 front & JT rear w/ shaved door handles
4) Volk Rims
5) Dual Exhaust
6) Tanabe Sustec Pro SS
7) Mugen Front & spoiler
8) JDM Foglights
9) Aladdin 2000 Alarm
Planned:
1) Hyper White Lights Bulbs All Around
2) Window Tint
3) Kenwood MP3 player
4) Engine Stuff or a Motorcycle

Yeah exactly...I don't want to waste money on something I won't be using if I went one route...
Hmm as for the greddy turbo, Arturbo from htech (if you're in the FI forums, you probably know who he is) claims that "A Greedy turb kit usualy puts down 230whp with intercooler at around 7psi" for GSR's. So a lude should be above that no? Sounds pretty good to me...we shall see in time
1. stiffen up suspension/ lowering
2. decide which path you want to take(turbo,sc,na)
if N/A:
3. intake
4. exhaust
5. pulleys
6. header
7. headwork (cams, camgears, retainer/springs, p&p.. etc) all at the same time since youre opening up the head anyway hehe
8. vafc + tuning
...
..
.
if turbo/sc:
3a. turbo kit/ jrsc kit with gauges
3b. tuning
4. exhaust
5. intake
6. header (if sc)
7. tuning if necessary..
8. then all the extras (ignition.. bla bla)
...
