howdy team! As soon as im able I will get some pics up, but I would like people opinions on how i should start my car, ie, how people have done theirs? performance first or body. What has made life easier or even see how much of Halfords i can fit in my footwells.

Cheers

Decent service.

If it's got rust get that sorted.

Make it stop.
Make it go around corners.
Make it go quicker.

The order that Donald said really....

I got mine, i serviced it, i then put coilovers / strut brace on it. Im now getting quotes to get the paint sorted, then the engine

As said, full service if its due...as yours is an auto, change the gearbox oil with Honda MTF.

Go for a nice oem lip kit if you don't have one on already.

A JDM lip, or type S one?

After the good service with all new fluids and filters and rust removal/prevention...
Breathing mods (ie. 2.25"-2.5" Stainless steel catback and a decent non-ebay air filter. Possibly just a K&N panel filter with the resonator removed).
Coilovers (D2's are popular and well priced).
Decent wheels with decent tyres.
Then put it on axle stands for 3 years and think about what to do next.
