My goal is to keep the exterior mainly stock. Possibly a grill block, but that's it

The vx wheels are still lighter than the steel wheels on my car currently.
I removed alot of weight from my car when I started the long commutes (spare tire, tools, fluids) Even removed A/C lines and replaced the under dash unit with a non-A/C duct. In total- 106 lbs of extra weight removed.

The HX trans will be installed in the next few weeks after I gather the funds for a new clutch set.

The vtec-e swap will take place this winter for sure.


Some things Ive considered:

-Wheel bearings with much lower resistance than a stock unit?
-An oil cooler?
-And some type of instrumentation as stated above. I still have to read up on how it works with the OBD-1 interface.
