1. Is there a big difference in performance between a custom 2 1/4 and a "brand name" exhaust in a Normally Aspirated car?

2. does a stock LSD make that much of difference?

How do you install a turbo
How much does it cost to upgrade the internals of a SOHC motor to allow more boost
What is required for this?
How do you swap a head? Is it easy? Eg, d16y7 to d16y8 head etc
What are some good but cheaper upgrades for your fuel delivery system if you go turbo route? Can you buy parts off of say ITR's like fuel pump etc? Injectors?

everything I wana know about turbos.

whats the best suspension setup for my car?

how does corner wieghting affect handleing?

which is better under steer or over steer?

how does an LSD affect handling?

what is the best engine to put in my civic?

thats all I can think of now
