Wanted to kno what would be the best to start off wit as far as modification. I was thinking just do Intake & Headers for now, and just saving for a engine swap. But I've been told to just tune my ls. Right now the only thing that's different on my car is that I had a exhaust leak from hittin a pot whole in VA. on the interstate so now I have an dual canister Magnaflow muffler on the car. And right now I'm in the middle of a tranny conversion. I'm puttin a B16 tranny into m DA. So I wanted to know wut would be the best bet for my DA?

 

How many miles on the car? If the engine's in good shape i'd say go turbo

 

I've owned a few, spend some money on a complete bushing kit from prothane, as well as a motor mount insert kit.

It'll make a noticeable difference in the way your teg handles, and it also something you should do as a car gets beyond 10 years of age and the bushings start to go bad.

 

Naw it has 219068k miles, so that's outta the question.

 

How big is your budget?
Some new suspension pieces would be a good starting point IMO.

 

Its almost as big as my imagination! LMAO I'm jokin I wish. Its kinda big plus I work at an Acura Dealership.

 

intake, header and exhaust. dont modify your suspension unless your budget allows you to replace camber casualty tires every 15k or you wanna buy a camber kit for like 150-200. lowered cars look nice, but unless you actually race autocross i dont see the point, plus its common for aftermarket struts to blow on lowered cars. if your budget is big(which it should be if youre an acura tech ), just swap in a b18c1, youll have a 30-50 hp gain, and alot more potential to work with. and if your car has 200k+ miles, a new engine wouldnt be a bad idea.

 

What about putting ITR springs and control arms on my DA? I was thinking about doing that.

 

id say intake muffler drop then header etc

 

I appreciate the help though, I'm scheduled to start classes at UTI soon in Aug. so hopefully I can be giving advice instead of asking it.

 

id say replace bushings camber kits if yo want em...and a shock/spring combo for the drop....i have one and id say that suspensions mods are by far the most noticable first mods you could do...not only does it help handleing but also inhances the look of the car

 

Yea I didn't want to go and lower my car seeing as though my friend is selling me the Teg Mesh rims (no tires) for $150 for all four! But I wasn't too sure. Its kinda hard when you're a newbie at these things. So.........like I said thanks for the advice.

I would advise going aftermarket as far as the ITR springs and shocks go. The DC 2 springs/shocks will lift your car in the rear slightly. I am running Tein HA's off of a ITR on my DA. They are VERY stiff, but I like it like that. As far as camber goes, I have had almost a 2" drop on my car for about 12k miles on the set of tires that I have currently. The only wear that I have on them is from hard cornering and the usual treadwear. No camber wear. Lowering your car is vital, especially if you are going to upsize your rims. What good is extra horsepower if your suspension and chassis can't handle it? Not a bad price on those meshes either. If you have any more questions, IM me.
