Default Just picked up a 1995 Integra LS, the modding begins...

After being on this forum for almost 4 years, I finally picked up a Honda.

1995 Integra LS Frost White 140k miles
5 speed (obv), allllll STOCK
except the headunit, which was stolen before he sold it to me.
$3,000







It's my 2nd car, my daily driver, my gas saver.

My other car is a Subaru WRX.



I wanted to get started on some mods, but nothing over the top, and very street/daily driver friendly...

Headunit (cuz the stock headunit was stolen)
or put in my old carputer... https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=2107714

Alarm
HID kit
AEM Short Ram Intake or Password JDM Intake
Randon Technologies High Flow Cat
Apexi World Sport 2 or Spoon N1
Header... DC?
Springs and Shocks (Something soft, and very streetable)
Grounding Kit (?)
Rims and tires

Any other suggestions?

6x9's??? dude, those will not only NOT fit, but they'll sound terrible! Any speaker that is stiffer/has a larger magnet than stock is going to pull too much power from a headunit alone. The best speakers you can get for your car if you're not amplifying them are a fresh set of stockers lol. I'm serious, I've tried it both ways. GSR components are good... and cheap. A headunit with a built in high pass filter is also an amazing thing to have too. Set the HPF to 80 and you can crank it up SO loud without distortion.

just as long as you get some speakers that dont require a lot of watts at rms theyll be way better than stock speakers. I know 6x9 wont fit without doing some type of modding btw.

I'd go with a nice suspension setup for my first mod. Then a decent set of shoes with good socks.

Nice find btw. I just got mine recently too: 94LS w/ built LSVTaK (20K motor) 270K on the ODO for $3K as well.
