order of modifications question
 
Right now I have an 88 crx, totally stock.
I want to get a new muffler, get lowering springs, get bodywork and paintjob done, redo my interior, get new rims and get a kit.
If I were to do one of these every 2 months, what order do you think I should go about getting them done, like what should I get done first, second, third, ect...
I know it's pretty much a personal preference but I was just wondering what you guys think.
Thanks

Not planning on doing any engine work on my car until next summer...i'll just stick with my stock si and intake :)

depends what you want to use your car for,

if it's a daily driver and you wanna look great then start there, if it's a car for racing thats also your daily driver, track racing start with suspension, drag racing power mods, both can benifit from sticky tires...there is no real "you must do it this way" order to it all

Nice call but I beg to differ alittle, for every two months
Exaust cat back and intake May/June
lower it springs and struts July/Aug.
rims&rubber Sept./Oct
redo interior Nov./Dec.
over winter do bodywork(this way you can enjoy a car that sounds good with alittle more hp and handles nicely)


You don't need a header if your gonna do a swap, unless REALLY cheap price.


Also if your in need of tire get the rims and rubber before the suspension.

the only thing is, if you get an exhaust BEFORE you get a body kit you might have to re-adjust the exhaust so it "fits" your body.. that's the only reason why I haven't gotten my exhaust done yet, cuz I'm saving up for the Mugen kit.... **** talk about bling.....

Usually kit's are designed to work with original design of car. Mugen kit will have no prob. on a CRX

Body work first!! If you find out your car is pure rustbucket, and it'll cost $4000 to get it in decent shape, you may change your plan. So, get that out of the way first. Plus, if it looks like ass after the body is done, maybe you'll change your mind about dumping money into it. Body work for sure!! Then chassis and brakes, suspension, interior... kit and finally engine.
