I vote Sell your car, Buy something else with the added money, Or Option B. Swap in a GSR motor, All the boltons, New paint, Lip, Wheels/tires, Suspension and possibly JDM front if you've got enough. but who knows.

I would look into getting a new car.. if you want something more "racey" go type r, s2k, or an evo or sti.. if you want a car with some power, and luxury, i would look at a newer TL Type S... beautiful car IMO

I have been there done that with my DA. It was bone stock 3 years ago and within the first years of owning it I dropped the engine and transmission with a b18c and an LSD trans from HMO with innovative motor mounts. Its cammed with bolt ons and tuned on crome making 193whp. Also have konis with ground control coilovers, rear sway bar, wheels/tires and other appearance mods.

Its a very fun car to drive, but honestly if I could have done it again I would have just saved the money and left the car stock or close to it and just kept saving the money which is what I am doin now because at the end of the day, THE CAR IS OLD no matter how you look at it. Its going to squeek and rattle all over the place, my spine is bruised everywhere and lets be real, with cars now a days its not really that fast. When V6 accords and camrys run 14s from the factory.

Specially when my friend has an EVO with a full exhaust and a vishnu chip and would RAPE me without trying even with all the money I put into the teg. A stock EVO or S4 or 350z or anything along those lines would pull a modded teg regardless anyway.
