2002 Civic Si

I just turned in my finance stuff for a 2002 Honda Civic Si. I was wondering what you guys think of the EP3 and what specific parts you would recommend for making it an everyday driver with some JDM civic class.

Thanks

So how would an AEM V2 intake, comptech header, and an HKS exhaust with a test pipe do me? Could I make it into the 15.4 time range? Do those parts go well with the K20?

Will the stock transmission and engine hold up to that? Sorry to ask such a lamer question, but I'm coming back to japanese cars after going to domestics where I've had HORRIBLE tuning expirences. Mostly due to lack of research on my part, and purchasing a lemon.

I too am thinking at getting a 2002 Si, I'll i've read is about the D17 and how hard it is to squeeze out HP. What would be a normal gain form just bolt on for a Si motor. I would assume it's tons easier.
Thanks a lot for any info.

If I go for an LSD swap, I'm going to get hardcore. I still want to be able to roll this to and from work everyday and to be able to drive home on the weekends, (2-3hr trip). So I don't want to get too hardcore. But I think some good supension parts would be a good investment. Maybe a set of coilovers.
