Do you have basic handyman skills? Can you do basic home improvement? If you can, then you can handle a lot of the basic performance stuff. Bolt-ons are named that for a reason: unbolt the old, bolt in the new. It's much more rewarding to DIY and it's a lot cheaper. If you aren't handy, that's cool, there are some Chigo guys around here, I'm sure.

Exactly, a honda guy will always help out another honda guy. Just ask around, hit up a local cruise night. Many 'normal' mechanics have pet performance projects. Find one that likes tuner's and you set, there's your shop.

Hey if there are any others from Chi-town lets all meet up! There are a few great honda groups here. Still havent found the underground honda tuning crowd -- only honda owners clubs and local SCCA so far.

On the performance mods issue, I can help you with the basics. Im currently shopping around at performance shops to see who is decent (adding a supercharger) so hit me back soon!
