Default vw to acura

i just sold my 2000 vw jetta vr6 and boughta 1990 acura integra ls for 2400 bucks. the car is so worth the price too. its owned by a guy here in billings, mt and he owns a 300z,nsx, gsr, itr. the dude has kept this car in amazing shape only defect is a black hood. it has 150000 miles and dont show it. 5 speed clutch is smooth and it has a sunroof that works great. im excited to start modding. i plan on doin ls vtec and sprayin it. just something simple n a daily. im 19 so this car is great for insurance too . but the car is white and umm ya thats the run down on my purchase. i was just looking to get some opinions on wut would be some good mods to do and see wat there is out there for da integras thanks.

Glad to hear you're enjoying your purchase man. As popularly known, Hondas are easy to mod with plenty of aftermartket parts especially for the DA. I would start things off with an aggressive drop and some rims and it will really compliment the DA body style. As for the hood, if you don't plan to repaint the car soon just replace it with a carbon fiber one...

SUSPENSION AND TIRES FIRST!!!!!!!!!!!! Do these before ANYTHING else, before spending money on any other parts.

As far as the engine, if you're planning on going LS/VTEC, read this thread first: https://honda-tech.com/forums/all-motor-naturally-aspirated-44/how-build-%22reliable%22-lsvtec-b20vtec-1676914/ Also read up on other threads in the Hybrid forum. If you still have questions about LS/VTEC, then post in that thread or make a new thread in the Hybrid forum.

I personally wouldn't spray it, especially not a daily driver. IMHO spray is kinda dumb on a street car. But if you like it that's cool. Just don't be a DUMB *** IDIOT and use it on the street!!! Do lots of reading in the Forced Induction forum concerning nitrous oxide systems. There is an 80+ page thread on nitrous oxide in that forum right now: https://honda-tech.com/forums/forced-induction-16/%2A%2A%2A-official-nitrous-thread%2A%2A%2A-2119397/ I advise you to read all of it. And whatever you do, DON'T call it NAAWWWWZZZZZ

Just don't cheap out and do a ricer $60 coilover set on stock shocks

And aftermarket 7" wheels look so much nicer than factory 6" wheels. I hate it when I have to put my stock 15x6 wheels back on. 16x7 wheels FTW.
