Do ecu, then you can do anything you want.

Or better yet a lower final drive. you will not believe the difference you can feel.

Totally agree. The first thing to do is go for a lower final drive and I'd add a lightweight flywheel.

It will make a huge difference to the feel of the car.

yep, either a new HD clutch and lightweight flywheel combo, or go for an aftermarket ecu and get a tune

done suspension ? bang per buck, even a set of entry-level coilovers will greatly improve the feel of your car and make it quicker to drive..

if you've allready done that, as someone else said, ECU would be the best option as you can build on that in any direction you like.

Clutch and FD would be a great upgrade if you've got a gen1 B16 transmission.. and yeah ITR cams in gen1 B16A are a great upgrade but you'll need an ecu to take advantage of anything like that.. so get the ECU first.. find your local TRUSTED tuner and talk to him about which ECU he prefers as there's no point buying the coolest and trendiest ECU if you have no tuner that can make good use of it !!
