If your looking to keep it running properly as a reliable daily driver, consider
Flushing all fluids, replace with Honda Genuine (Trans, P/S, Brakes, Coolant). Always good for peace of mind, never know what cheap fluids previous owners used/mixed in.

Biggest engine with the most horsepower you can afford to have installed. Simple.

Spend as little as possible on it and get as many groceries needed with it until you save up for a real sports car. Then sell it to your granny who can appreciate for what it truly is.
