Where you at Michael?
Suspension upgrades and semi-race tyres on 15 x 6.5 rims for a start. If you don't want to go whole hog with adjustable coilovers, Skunk2 make shortened sports shocks, find'em on US ebay. Local lowered King springs (superlows for racing). 20mm swaybars and new bushes. If you stick with the "D" and it's a good motor, upgrade the early G/box to a later 89-91 (both have a 20 spline input shaft instead of the 21 spline in the 87-88's 190mm clutch, and can take the larger clutches available. 200mm for the 89 and 212mm for 90-91 and the later EG's). Brakes you can upgrade to front 262mm using DA9 Integra booster, M/cylinder, prop valve, calipers, hubs/knuckles, they will also lower the front about another 12mm or so. Replacing the front LCA with the DA9 one will give a bit more negative camber, but requires filing the forward bolt hole in the stock traction bar about 3mm longer to get the bolt to match up with the LCA bolt hole. If you want to retain the rubber RTA main bushes, the DA9 RTA also is a direct replacement for the ED9/EF7 one and has the larger bush with bulkier connectors in the bush. These are relatively cheap upgrades for a fun road/track car. Can be done a bit at a time.
