Some nice extreme performance summer tires. Still have a few more months left to enjoy them before you have to put 'em away....at least you do here in CA.
Another thing may be some light suspension upgrades like sway-bars of some sort.
If you are looking for making your car louder. Maybe a new exhaust or intake is in order...
Check you brakes, maybe get some real nice pads in there...I think the name is "Hawk", or something like that. They are supposedly some of the better performing pads out there. Any ceramic pads perform pretty well, supposedly.
You could also do a tune-up to get that out of the way(something I have yet to do): Rotor/cap; new plugs and wires; coolant replacement; engine AND tranny oil change; check all hoses; check clutch and brake fluid, change and flush if needed. Valve adjustment. Check all seals for any leaks. Change air filter, fuel filter, and hell, maybe even the cabin filter if 4th gens have 'em.

Good luck.
Thanks, I think I might go with sway bars, not possitive but it helped with ideas, so thanks
Agree with "spin r g"...
Make sure to fix all problems then go on to upgrades (Unlike me where im always running into something wrong ).
And it depends if you want PERFORMANCE or VISUALS
What I'd suggest:
Performance:
-Coilovers/Suspension
-DC Headers >$200
-AEM Cold Air Intake >$200
VISUALS: First off fix exterior cosmetic damage
-Gotta have the rims with tha chrome lip! Haha (Or what ever you prefer)
-Tint (Very Cheap)
-JDM lights
Other:
Gotta have a stereo system for some extra bass!!!
Why would you ever recommend DC Crap headers for an H22? First, he would only require one header. Second, it sucks balls.
Anyway, importance level for me goes like this:
1. Maintenance. Fix everything that's wrong and then fix everything that will soon be wrong. This includes clutch + rear main seal, timing belt + water pump, fuel filter, air filter, plugs+wires+cap+rotor. You might go ahead and throw in a lightweight flywheel while doing the clutch.
2. Suspension. This includes good tires, good brakes+rotors, better shocks and/or springs, lighter wheels (heavier hurts performance), rear sway bar, front upper strut bar.
3. Power. This includes intake, header (not DC Crap), exhaust, intake manifold, head work, nitrous oxide, supercharger, turbocharger, tuning.
4. Interior/Audio. This includes gauge cluster modifications, trim kits, seats, head unit, speakers (keep the volume down after 10pm or I will find you), etc. Please no 3-gauge pillar on a stock car.
5. Appearance. All the look-pretties you want. Please no fart-cannons, giant wings, faux scoops, or japanese stickers.

Thanks man! Your message is very useful and yeah lol, NO RICE ALLOWED IN THIS THREAD! And by the way, check out this beast I found 2 nights ago on google lol...
That looks like that "Big Mike's" build that he's posted about on PreludeZone or PreludePower. His screen name is Big Mike (I think) on PZ and PinoyShadow on PP.
He's transformed that car now and it looks totally different and is very well done. He might have "The Best 4th Gen in the world."
