So recently a few friends of mine got S13 coupes with SR's in them and I sorta felt the need to start upgrading my engine. I was wondering where I should start and if somebody can guide me along the lines. For the most part, I'm running stock everything CA18DET with a godspeed intercooler and a replica HKS blow-off. First things first I decided to get rid of my replica everything and then I don't know where to go from there. I'll post a pic of my setup soon but I just wanted to know what you guys think I should do to start my build. A little advice is appreciated.

I was originally intending on keeping it stock and going more looks, but all my friends that run hondas give me too much crap for having a bad engine so I just wanted to show them up a little.
