1995 Acura Integra GSR!!! what should i do?
I just bought a 95 milano red gsr.. 163k miles.. full service has been done to the motor so no need to do maintance.. interior is mint!.. bought it from the original owner since 95... it cost me about 4200.. and i live in WA so thats a pretty good price imo... but as too the catch.. paint is fading. and i just dont know what to do yet.. i wanted to get a intake.. but the iab situation isnt too awesome.. im into the slammed scene.. but i also want to get a jdm front end... and paint.... just thought i would ask and see what ppl think.. and just voice what they would do in my situation and to have fun! 
idea's are always welcome as well! i can post pictures later of the car if anyone wants to keep up on progress and such.. money is somewhat slow so major/costy mods will be in awhile
So should i get....
Suspension??
JDM front end/Paint
Engine modifications?!
(note car is a daily driver)

yeah for real, my friend got his midori hatch stolen and broken into and such.. just gotta keep an eye out.. and yeah i actually picked up the car in vancouver... idk if you saw it on craigslist or not. cars never been in a wreck.. so im thinkin i got pretty good deals considering ls integras go for as much as i paid in shitty condition.

in the end it all just comes down to your preference. everybody else will have a different point of view and you wont get much accomplished. so just make up your mind about what you wanna do, then just post if you need help/advice

Replace worn rubber.
Performance suspension mods.
Auto-x the hell out of it and have fun and learn in the process.
Joy of not being a hard-parker fanboi = priceless.

Re: 1995 Acura Integra GSR!!! what should i do?
Lets see now. You live in Wa. Its been noted more than once that theives are bad there right now. I'm thinking a good alarm system, or at least a couple well hidden kill switches. Obviously if theives want it they are going to get it, but you can at least do quite a bit to prevent it. How about some pics of it?

Re: 1995 Acura Integra GSR!!! what should i do?
it really depends on how much your looking to spend, if this car is your dd then dont waste that much money on it, jdm front looks nice, but your gonna have to spend at least $2000 and you have to weld it, having a great looking paint job that gonna last will cost you about the same price

I'm in the same situation as you I just bought a 97 GSR for 3000 and it's almost completely stock. If i were you i would drop it first then ITR front end and end it off with a nice paint job.
