dont waste your time/money
 
You have done the basics. Really your best course is patients. Save up and get an h22a swap with the 5speed parts. Its hard to make auto honda's go fast.
 
the cheapest way to get a better driving experience for you would be to convert from auto to manual...

if you don't know how to drive stick, then learn...

you'll like the manual a lot more but the auto->manual swap is quite a bit of work...

you should also look into a custom turbo kit...

homemadeturbo.com, read it...
it'll get you started
 
it isnt that hard. I did it... its weas pretty simple. Especially on a Hydro car... becuase 99% of the holes are already there.

sell the car and buy something else
 
I looked into making my automatic CRX faster too. But really the best advice I can give you has already been given. Save up for a swap and make it a five speed. Really the swap from auto to manual isnt really that bad. Hopefully your frame has all the holes already there like my crx does. Another thing to keep in mind is that honda's are built for economy espically the automatics. Just read up some here and at other honda websites and think do you like your car enough to swap the motor and tranny. Or would you rather sell it and start fresh with somthing you really want. Get your goals all down and shoot for that.
