    the reason you cant turn is because you have stock suspension and crappy tires. get some decent coilovers and a set of wheels/tires and it will handle pretty good. Now with the motor and your torque converter, the reason it is slow is because it is an auto and honda sucks at auto trannies. so just swap in a manual tranny and it will be alot quicker then it is now.

      Wider/lighter rims and performace tires made the biggest difference to me when I was doing suspension mods.

      They call me, old man...

            Unless you can do it yourself, just sell your car and buy a manual to start out with...

                                  Honda's automatic trannys like to explode the spider gears once it sees even the smallest ammount of HP gain.

                                      You have no idea what you are talking about... not to be mean, but you sound like a 9 year old after watching fast and the furious.

                                      An integra gsr is a good car, but I think it would be a little too much $$ to use as just a race car...

                                      Honestly, mod your car before anything else.... slowly you will know more and more about cars and eventually u will know enough to start a project...

                                      I jumped into several projects not knowing wtf i was doing and I wasted a lot of time and money.

                                      no race car? becuz homeowner...

                                        If you're going to sell your car, get a 92-95 hatchback, and swap in an LS motor. Then throw a 50 shot at it, that's an awesome bang for the buck deal right there.
