231.. don't waste money on a vtec controller.
VTEC comes on at 20mph if your foot is to the floor and you are over 2800 rpms. It stays on if you keep racing, but shuts offf if you upshift below 3000 rpms. NO matter what after 63 mph VTEC stays on

rims, then coilovers, then catback.

Everyone notices rims and it makes your car look hella nice. Coilovers next cuz they'll fix the horrible fender well gap and improve handeling. Then the exhaust. To me when i see a lowered car with hubcaps to me that is rice, the same goes for an exhaust rolling on hubs.

I would start with the most expensive mods first like suspension and wheels and then go to exhaust and engine. It's easier to save up for the smaller things.
