Wow, I don't even know where to start with this one.. I assume no else does either, by the overwhelming number of replies to this thread.... I'm not sure where you are getting a turbo kit yet... Because hondata hasn't figured out the new 05 ecu so I doubt cybernation's black magic or guardian will work with the new ecu... As for greddy or hks.. They will work, but you may have some interesting wiring on your hands. How low of compression are you planning on going... It may be easier just to use a thicker head gasket unless you are planning on forged internals... Also a show winner does not really mesh with all out racing... How many show cars do you see with roll cages or gutted interior... Also running over cones isn't the best idea for your "show car". Unless you just plan on autocrossing every now and then, still some "show winning" 19's or an ultra low body kit aren't going to hack the tactics on the track. 02-04 suspension parts should work just fine on the 05. You may want a full coilover setup because the small weight increase may have changed the weight distrubtion. Also I believe they used the bigger 22mm sway bar on the rear so you don't need to worry about that. As far as body kits, I'm not sure if the 05s used those FUN push clips or whatever, or if they are in the same points or if the exact lines are the same.. Thus I have no idea if the 02-04 kits fit the 05s... Body kits just add weight anyway :)
