^ that's just what I was going to say. When you increase the stopping power of the brakes, you'll most likely need larger (wider) tyres to increase the amount of tyre surface on the road. Too little and if the brakes are too powerful the wheels will just lock up. I know a few people who have fitted ...
Carburetors? I've never looked in to fitting them, but they seem a real step backwards and it would take a lot of work. Fuel injection is more efficient and reliable. I wouldn't see the point in convering a fuel injection car to carbs. *steeldonkey beat me to it. What he said! If you want to go down...
I think the best options are intake, exhaust and cams with a tune; the basic starting blocks. ITBs are really there once the rest of the engine is maxxed out and the intake is the weak point (unless the tune is very good and the engine can really make use of the ITBs you're more likely to lose useab...

ITBs are really one of the last few things to be done to the engine. What steeldonkey said (cams, exhaust, intake and a map to suit) would be the best starting point

Nice, I wasn't aware of this :thumbright: I do know that if you have a shortshifter fitted, if the link cable is moved from it's original position (i.e. change the cable travel, in this cas...
The gearboxes in the Prelude I own are notorious for the "5th gear crunch", changing from 4th > 5th. Mine started it, not badly but it had started. I switched the gearbox oil to Amsoil MTF as opposed to the Honda stuff and cured it instantly. Brilliant oil, highly recommend it (but it's ex...
:shock: All I have to do is short the service connector (paperclip), and move the ignition to position two (one step away from starting the car). The dash lights come on and anything with an error (TCS, ABS, 4WS, ECL etc) flash up indicating a fault number; long flash = 10s, short flash = 1s so two ...
