I LOVE my EK Hatch, you can keep one pretty much stock, just throw some nice springs/shocks, brakes/pads/fluid, and tires and your set to go!

My mods are as follows:
H&R RACE Springs
Tokiko BLUE struts(want to upgrade to a KYB or KONI)
Integra Front Brakes(rear soon to come also)
Powerslot Integra Rotors
Hawk HP Plus pads
205-50-R15 Falken Azenis RT-615
Ebay F&R Strut Bars

Motor is a stock D16 with Skunk2 Intake Manifold and a intake/header/exhaust. SI transmission with ACT Stage 2 clutch.
