My car now has 96,xxx miles on it and i want to know if it is still worth moding. If so should i swap it, boost it,etc...Help Please!

Or, sell the car and get an RSX-S and save yourself tons of work/time.

Why do you want to do mods, anyhow? If you don't have time to tune then how will you have time for a swap?

What a silly question. The car will probably last 300,000 miles easily. How much longer are you going to own it?

I'd just keep it, but that's typical of me -- I keep cars until they're run into the ground. Turbo it with mild boost (or supercharge) and it'll still last a good long time. Swap in a fresh motor later, or swap one in now instead of boosting.

Get a Type-S, and you lose that big hatch space that's so fantastically handy during college along with the dash shifter that stays out of the way every time another drunk college chick gives you road head.
