High flow fuel pump is a waste till u get into boost. Stay with factory and oem parts till you decide to swap or build

After u fix the little s**t start with the suspension u will be amazed how much more fun ur little car will be with suspension mods. Mines only dropped 1 3/4 on stock struts amd it works well

i am young, 17. After i fix all the little things, she needs new shocks and struts and front left rotor, so i might upgrade the suspension while im in that stage. i do want to replace some parts inside the motor IE(Head, head gasket, pistons, rods, barrings, etc.) Is there a way I can buy the vtec stuff for the mini-me swap?

Do some research u will need to convert to obd1 and to mpfi then buy a vtec head and do all the necessary little things. Or buy a low mileage obd1 vtec engine and u wont have to mess with the internals.

Just my opinion, but in your situation it would probably be best to save for an engine swap. Its kinda worthless to put money into performance upgrades for that motor, as said by bullgod88. Even just a d16y8 or something will feel alot better, and won't cost much. Just do research and decide on your own what you want to do, because its completely your decision.

welcome, like bullgod said take your time with it

a swap is going to be your best bet with your situation, you can find LS swaps on CL all day on the cheap
