Need help and some ideas.
Ok so I have a 95' Acura Integra LS has 173,000 miles on the original motor. Was owned by 2 old women until I purchased it 2 years ago
Im looking into getting some new parts for it performance wise and to just replace worn out tid bits. Also just some cosmetic stuff but nothing extreme I just wanna stay close to OEM as possible other than rims.
So if anyone could shoot some ideas or opinions to me, I would love to read on what you'd do in my shoes.
The car already has a no name exhaust on it that isnt that great, but I needed it to replace the rusted out exhaust that came with the car. It also has a new Injen cold air intake. The car is completely stock other than that.
I just want to know what would you want to purchase next, just anything perfomance or cosmetic. Anything and everything can be taken into account and money isnt much of a problem.

post pics of your car so we can get an idea.
it depends, how much do you really want to spend on your car? what are your future goals? sounds like you just want a clean daily driver. i would get some nice kicks and a good clean drop/tuck. cant really tell what you got now. but maybe oem lipkit if you dont have one. as far as proformance goes, what is your hp goal? then research and look up the cheapest, most reliable way to get there. good luck.
cheers

first off, your sig says i <3 my dc2.. youve got an ls, which is a DC4... gsr's and type r's are dc2's.
if money is no problem, get a turbo and a jdm front. if money is a problem, then get a new exhaust, maybe lsvtec.
or you may want to start with some wheels and suspension.

Maybe we 'd have more imput if you told us more about what you want. HP goals, looks goals, loud car, quiet car, etc.
From the sounds of it you don't want much so i'm going with cheap.
Get a list of all the necessary things to change (plusg, rotor, cap, filters, etc) and do those. Then throw on a ebay intake, a short throw shifter, and your wheels and call it a day.

Aye sorry guys didnt think about the goal part and more detail....
Anyways my goal is right now im looking to do a all motor tune, cause I dont have much knowledge on turbos and how to maintain one for daily driving, so a all motor tune or setup
I want to just have a nice clean daily driver that wont attract to much attention, but turn heads to real Honda enthusiasts...
I dont want too much tuck just right amount of ride height and a good set of rims, which ive been thinking about either Rota, Volk or Advan
I want like a deep sounding exhaust not a lawn mower
Maybe even be able to do some autocrossing...
I'll take some pics tomorrow to give you guys a idea
Hope that helps a little more, sorry again I didnt detail more info out in the first place....
Also any suggestion on where to shop other than ebay, somewhere youve had success with and good service..

I'd put a turbo on before I dicked with the internals in the motor. Turbo takes less skill and knowledge to do correctly. I'd also keep the stock rims or get some wider rotas. Flashy/aftermarket rims will tend to attract the most attention to your car if it is just sitting there. Do you have a budget in mind?

No budget really kinda wanting a idea from other people what they would do in my situation in what direction theyd go in.
You said just do a turbo instead of getting into the internals? How easy is it to just slap a turbo on and to run well...?
