Bunkins 98 Teg Build

It all began when my father and I were looking for my first car a couple years ago, We knew we wanted a Honda because of reliability but were unsure of model etc. Eventually after looking for a few months we came across an 98 Acrua Integra GS.
Picture of it after a few weeks of cleaning and waxing:


I was not a fan of the white at all. Before this picture the previous owner had installed white windshield wipers, white emblems, and had spray painted the calipers white.

A year or so went by until I saw an old friend that had an Integra. He started teaching me about Integras and their potential. Soon I was hooked, unfortunately at the time I didn't have the money to do much to it.

This went on till about a month ago, my oil pan's leak started increasing forcing me to change the seal. While working on the car I decided that it was time to start my build. To start out I purchased 16" Rota Torques, soon following were EBC "Yellow Stuff" Break Pads along with OEM rotors. Thus my build began. Soon I painted the Calipers Red along with the CAI and VC.
Here are pictures of the car on a Sunday evening run up Mt. Baker.





Since these pictures I have completely gutted the back of the car, including rear seats. rear panels etc.
I am planning to get into auto crossing eventually so future mods will reflect that.
Plans: Input is welcomed with all future mods!!
Rear Brace- I am somewhat settled on a cross brace design but input is greatly appreciated.
Corbeau A4 Racing Seats Red/Black- if there are any other seats that would be better for the money please chime in.
Corbeau 4pt Harness
Sparco Harness Bar

These are the upgrades that I am looking at in the near future, keeping in mind that handling is more important to me than power.
The car does have Megan Racing Headers and Exhaust installed along with a CAI.

Input is greatly appreciated!! I don't want to buy a component and regret it later!

I read somewhere that a harness is a No-No if you dont have a roll bar. The harness keeps you upright in a roll over where as a 3pt setup (Oem) allows you to slump over some. If the hood gets crushed this would save your head and your life. I suggest doing a little research on harnesses in carss without a cage/roll bar before you go ordering them.

Hmm thanks for the heads up, I will have to look into this.

As for a Sub-frame bar and sway bar, what should I look for brand wise? I haven't really done any research into this area yet and it is a bit over whelming.

As for suspension, the previous owner installed KYB Coilovers, not exactly what I would have chosen but it will work for now.
