Pour lots of money into your motor. Strip your car so its lighter. BTW its vtec.
It really depends on how much money you have to play with, and also don't forget driver skill. I'm sure if you came up against a crap driver in a wrx you could beat him.
Do a search on the tech threads for na mods, or frankenstein set ups etc.

NA tuning cost more for less increase in power
you will get more power for your money from a turbo than you will from a supercharger or NA tuning
-
the civic will need to spend a bit of money just to keep up with a stock wrx, to keep up with a mod wrx, u would be spending much much more
-
anythings possible but moneys not.

as stated above. a lot of it comes to driver skill, if you know your car well and know how to exploit it, and the other driver doesnt then you could come close with some breathing mods and aftermarket ecu
i was at wakefield last Monday and there was a stock wrx, probably an 02, and he couldnt get past me neither on the straights or on the bends, my car is stock bar injen intake, kings springs, and azenis rt215's
There was also an STI, and he would blow me away on the straight, but through the bends id catch up to within a carlength...
just gotta know how to drive your car i suppose

integras handle better than stock wrx's at wakie. I also kept up to wrx's at wakie. They would gain on straight, but I lose them in corners.

rex couldnt ga on the straight, if anyhting i was pulling away...
sti though, another story

interesting.
well i was thinking about leaving my car as a b16a but getting some head work done.
i was looking at some spec b cams and a set of 4-1 headers from toda and also a new computer.
and have it tuned.
just to get some more power out of the b16a....
any hints and tips on what to do for more power i have about 5g to spend
given that the only engine mod is a pod filter.

mate the B16a is an awesome motor with many mods available to make big horsepower....
im no expert though, but with you 5g, get a nice extractor and exhaust combo, get a cold air feed for that pod,get a aftermarket computer and tune it... you might have a little change from that money to get a flywheel
-
Honestly, with NA, to gain power, apart from the breathing mods, the only other option is to crack open your motor and go nuts...
