LX, auto, 2.2 i4, about 110k on it.

It handle nicer then I thought and will be trading my Escort ZX2 straight up for it. What are a few basic things I can do to it? I'm new to Hondas, Ive had Fords all my life. I'm mostly picking this up as my gas saver as I also have a nicely modded Mustang for weekend fun.

I'd like to put a nice Spring/strut combo on it (no more then a 1in drop), 30% tint, and maybe a set of white 17's or the stock EX rims(owner would be giving me a set of those anyway. SO I have a few questions.

1. What kind of power can the stock auto tranny take?
2. What kind of power can the stock engine take?
3. What are the best intakes for these cars?
4. Whats a good spring/strut combo?
5. Whats the widest tire that the 95 EX rim will fit?
6. IF I did a hondata...approx what would the gains be on teh stock motor? I have no plans to get into anything more then a basic set of bolt ons.
7. Are there any nice break upgrades?
8. Are there any Euro or JDM stock parts that will fit my car? the owner already has the little window visors on the outside of the car over the side windows.


Thanks guys, sorry if some of these questions seem stupid, but like I said, I know Fords, not Hondas.

 

Anything? Please? What kind of wear items should I look for?
