Hey,

i just bought a '99 prelude and its automatic but i still want to make it a powerful car and i wanted to know what things i could do to make it quicker.and things to overall make it look nice.  

The H22 has some pretty good parts although its not the most popular motor - compared to the B-series. Get a nice cold air intake (injen or AEM is good - but there are other good ones), greddy headers - very good quality and lasts a long time, Hi-flow cat and a good catback exhaust system (APEXi World Sport is nice - quiet but loud enough when you accelerate). Make sure your plugs are in good condition and your plug wires. Throw some rims and good suspension on it and you'll be set. Thats pretty much all you can do for power unless you do a rebuild or throw in a turbo (8-10psi is safe) Oh and slotted rotors would complement the rims.
