Question What set ups would you suggest?!

Hello all! I'm pretty new to all this but will have my Rx soon. What mods would you suggest first? I will probally be doing more street racing and some drag racing(as there are only drag strips in my area and no road courses here) but I want a pretty balanced attack! What kind of single turbo kits would you suggest? Intercoolers? I've heard alot of people talk about aftermarket radiators, again, what kind and brand? I know it's not easy to say but I need a general idea where I should start on a FD. Just a good guideline in order to plan the mods.But, I do know a SINGLE is in the future. Just would like a opinion what your exsperiences are with the different brands. It would be the ONLY FD in my area, and besides, somone has to give all these VR4's around here a RUN!! ANy help would be appreciated!! Thank you.

Matthew

Well, yeah, I know i'm not going with a SINGLE turbo right away or anything, but I know thats where I want to go eventually. I mean, what should I do first?Exhaust,DP etc......? As far as budget, thats hard to say. I'm in the process of selling my Hybrid Accord .It depends on if I sell it whole or part it out and get $$$ to modify the FD. I'd like to plan it out as much as possible but..... who knows!?! Ofcourse, I have things in mind but wanted to know what you guys had prefered in upgrading first, rather than go to some shop and have them tell me I should buy this or that and it may not be the route I want to go. Just need some guidelines........ WHere do I start?!?!

Start with the exhaust and intake, be prepared to be patient with this project. The rotory can be frustrating until you learn it. There is a special on the history channel Tuesday the 19th all about the Rotory. Good luck with your new project
