Chosen,
Have a look on the Honda Revolutions BBS.... a few suggestions on there... i assume you mean the DC5???
Lots of options but very scarce in the UK at the moment... Mugen and Spoon are good places to start but I hope you have a very flexible friend for these !!!
As Iain says, handling kit is a good start.. some lowered Eibachs with the geometry reset will sort you out and set the car up nicely for track...
Induction.. there are a few options... Mugen do a Cold Air Intake system and Spoon do some drop in filters.. I don't believe people like K&N do kits yet... Ultimate kits is the GruppeM made in carbon fibre.... mmmmmm nice but expensive for the gains you get....
Exhaust - again you are limited mostly to Japanese manufacturers at the moment.. Mugen, Spoon, Buddy Club and also some USA manufacturers who make bits for the RSX (Integra in the USA)
Brakes - pretty darn good in std form - big brembos with DS2000 already fitted if i remember correctly
As for Motec... mmm rich mans toy on the Integra.. cost you about £2.5k fitted and you're never going to see massive gains on the road (20bhp has been predicted).. but you will get lots of nice data logging.. if you want a chip thats cheaper, again Mugen and Spoon are the most famous but others do them....
Have a look around http://www.takakaira.com/ and you'll see lots of bits and bobs from different manufacturers
Hope thats a starter for you.... as there is so few DC5 in the UK at the mo its tricky to get first hand experience of what works and what doesnt !!!

I have some lurvely Mugen Strut Braces for the DC5 (New Teg)
Stick to Japanese stuff only, the only countries they sell the DC5 is Asia and Australia, don't go for stuff ie - Yank stuff which says RSX its not the same.
Gruppe M is the danglies, Mugen CAI is a lot for not a lot, Spoon Drop in is never going to give you BHP.
Cams, and valvetrain are trickling onto the market, look for names like Toda, Skunk2, and Jun.
Manifold, Spoon do a very nice one but for £1300 you would expect it to be made of platinum, it is very light, and will proberly give you the most gains.
ECU, Motech sounds good, but £'s, Mugen do an ECU for £900, but Apexi should bring out a version of the Power FC, which is fully programable.

Blitz are a waste of time, I don't rate there products or service, and do next to nothing for Honda.
Honda Tuners
Mugen
Spoon
Buddy Club
Jun
Toda
Cusco
are some of the best.
Did I mention I have the Strut Braces for sale?

Im always one for being subtle 
Owners on the Honda Forum are;
Jevo (Jason on SN)
Quicksilver
No other owners post on that forum, I bought a DC5 and paid for it to come to the UK, but had a few issues so had to sell it before I even had it, unfortunatly I had spent 1K on Mugen bits already
Quicksilver bought the car which I imported.
