best way to spend $200-$400?

aside from whiskey and hookers, of course...

my car is coming back from the shop today, and since its been there since i bought it, i haven't done a thing to it. i've got a small budget to get some stuff, so what do you think is the best way to start?

currently on car (that i know of):

DC Sports 2.5" catback exhaust
Ground Control lowering springs
Accord rear lip

things i know i'm getting for xmas:

cam seal
oil catch can

where should i start buying, within the limitations of my current budget? so many plans for the car, all of which include weekend use, with a track day thrown in every once in a while.

are you wanting to put money towards motor or asthetics?

i say get an intake of some kind with a BPI flowstack to add a little extra power... if you don't know what that is, GOOGLE IT. it's been proven to actually work so don't think it's just some gimmick...

you can also go with a sway bar to stiffen up your ride, or a traction bar to keep from wheel hopping....

so many options for you man

Well your car just came back from the shop. I don't think $2-400 is that much for mods and I would save it for maintenance.

What current mods have you done and what are your goals? I can make a good recommendation on what to do next. I assume you have JDM H22 too?

aside from the retarded omission of the engine type (it is a jdm h22a), all that info is listed above.
