You are going to get a lot of comments about the doors lol. I used to have a civic with them. You will eventually get sick of them, but they do get a lot of attention.
But man, your interior is on point!! Top notch man. For speed, the easiest thing in my opinion would be to get a 2JZ GTE Aristo swap for around $3k. Turn up the boost, and get a good wideband to make sure you are not leaning out. I'm not sure what the stock ECU's limitations are, but if your AFR's are not where you like them to be, then you can always get a piggyback fuel controller. There is also a limitation on what the stock twins can handle. I think it's around 15-16psi. But that should net you close to 400rwhp. At those levels, you will also need a couple transmission coolers to help your trans last, because the A340 trans is only good to around 400rwhp, and even then the fluid temps have to be kept in check.
Alternatively, you can also get a 1JZ GTE swap for about $1k less, but same setup will net you about 50rwhp less, and you will need to upgrade the injectors to aristo 440cc's.
You also have to consider what your future plans with the car would be. Would you want to build it to 700HP+. If so, go with 2JZ swap. If you just want a fast street cruiser, then 1JZ swap will fit the bill just fine
Man, I love that peanut butter interior. That is my favorite color
