As you said "without spending too much" theres not much for d series that will make more power cheaply.

I would say put a set of cheap headers on for starters,as just about anything is better than the stock system.
A catback exhaust wont make much difference in my opinion except more noise.
Make sure its serviced up to date with clean oil and plugs,run 98 octane fuel and a high flow air filter will give a bit more throttle response

thanks for that.will try to find good headers for my car.is d16y8 a different engine or is it just a y5 with mods?? sorry if this sounds stupid but i really want to know more bout my car.thanks for the advise..

d16y5 has vtec-e which is the economy version of vtec for the d series,not performance orientated at all sadly.
The d16y8 is considered the best single cam d series as far as performance goes but keep in mind d series as a whole are not a sporty type engine

Theres loads of stuff on here http://www.d-series.org/forums/

Sorry mate but this has been covered dozens of times. I'll have to ask you to have a search.

If you insist that you cannot find the information you're after then PM me and I'll look at re-opening the thread.
