Need power and handling

[BigAnt]

I just got a 2002 SE sedan. What are some mods that I can do to get power and better handling.

^yesss...no offense, but do you realize how broad this question is? Look around a bit, I bet you will find several things to start with.

I know the basics like CAI, headers, exhaust. Is there anything else I can do that would be safe for my Autotragic?

What do you suggest for handling, I'm starting to go the canyons and my car skids like $hit and rolls too much.

coilovers.. sway bars.. learn to drive.. etc.

also, just get an h22 and a tranny will come with it, perfect time for a 5 speed swap.

i know how to drive it's just that the stock tires are too small (195) and i think my tires are almost gone, so that could be one reason.

I would love to do a H22A swap. I miss having a H22A, i had 98 prelude before this. That car handled beatiful with stock suspension.

get a really good strut spring combo. coilovers are NOT the best for canyons. too much rebound. I'm getting the best canyon setup possible for our cars. Koni yellows paired w/ Ground Control's. you'll also want to get a meaty sway bar (which is why i'm getting the progress 24mm one) as well as a strut bar. Now if you want to go all out like i'm gunna you can pick up a front and rear lower tie bar as well. For power best thing you could do would be to get a 5spd swap. or else there are just the basic's plus a good tune

5 spd should be your #1 priority. then suspension. all you have to do is search. well that, and just use common sense. that is such a broad question.

coilovers
good spring/strut combos
bolt-ons
good tires
rims
h22 swaps

Your car will never be fast with an automatic transmission. If you want to be more sporty then put a 5 speed and turbo.
