I would think that a manual transmission swap would be a big improvement.

nateb22

sry i forgot to mention, 2000 after the tranny swap

tranny swap , and if ur car is low mileage home built turbo set up. or if you jsut want a decent daily new suspension and tires and a full tune up brakes, head gasket water pump plugs wires etc

Warhawk

up to you, you can do nice suspension, wheels and tires or look into boosting it.

Figure out what you want from your car and build a setup to meet your goals...its really that easy. I dont understand the point of asking other people what YOU want

Vindicator9000

Suspension and transmission swap. Don't throw money away at that engine until you make it manual. Honda automatic transmissions can't reliably hold any kind of meaningful power increase.

Then turbo it.

Or swap it to manual B series. I bet you could piece together a B20 swap for under 1500.

TravisCadello

suspension or turbo.

whit3jdmkid

suspension and tires and a tune up

NightCat

Manual trans and suspension.

I dont know what I want, thats the reason of asking others, Im just getting ideas.

but since it has 200k miles on it now, Ill try to figure out what to do with the engine side of it.

coils- converted to manual might as well swap the engine with a b18b1 you can pic it up for 500 or so at car-parts.com an you still have money to play with...dont forget the beers while you doing it.......

nateb22

more than just beer

i like my homegrown stuff, **** buying it from someone,

98civdx

so you already got a 5spd convo?
gc's and koni, then some performance stuff.
daily driver or no?

hannslebo

kush purp etc. as long as i get stoned. i could not work on a car while buzzed/drunk.

but for the OP...if its your daily then def get it running good...major tune up/swap??? thats my .02...my first car i blew all my money on susp. exhaust. etc. and 2 mths later i was stuck with a blow engine.

nateb22

yes daily and i no i havent got the tranny but i should have a lil over 2k after that

chicken18

do nothing save your money @@

98civdx

good suspension and put the rest into performance.
maube swap a b series in it.

nateb22

does a rear wing help at all with mpg, keeping my *** end on the ground, or anything?

murtletheturtle

For the love of God no wing. I would say do a swap but I assume you might not be comfortable doing it yourself. I would get suspension, wheels, and good tires if I were you. Then learn how to drive you car by doing some autoX and going to a track.
Google Hallett. Its a track not too far from you and it is awesome. I'm from AR and have friends that race there all the time.
