Proud owner of 96 Accord EX

I just recently purchased a 96 accord ex. Its the 4 cyclinder engine with sunroof and its automatic. The car has 106k on and and i'm wondering if it would be worth it to do a 5 speed swap. Also what r some good mods to do to it first?

change timing belt if it has not been done yet (this will get you new water pump, drive belts and seal retainer)
change or flush trans fluid
flush coolong system
flush brake fluid
change power steering fluid
inspect it for any other problems like suspension
lube the runroof
change oil and filter
change air filter
check the brakes
change plugs

Save up for a manual swap. not worth doing any performance stuff until then if you ask me. you could cut open your air box for a ghetto fabbed intake.
