Default Where to start on my daily driver?

Hi guys I have a 2000 integra gsr with a few simple mods intake cat back exhaust header and cam gears. It's just clicked over to 165k it is my daily driver so I need it to be reliable and it will be driven in cold weather. What should I do to the car before I do anymore mods to keep it reliable and what should I look at next for mods?? Thanks guys

The next step really depends on your goals/needs of the vehicle. It could go one of a ten thousand different directions...that's for you to decide. Proper planning on the front end will save you a ton of time, money, and effort on the back end...whatever you decide, dont go at it half-cocked

I mean, have you kept up with the basics? With any car 165k is up there. When's the last time you did a full tune-up?

Obviously Kyden is right, Integra will last a while, but like any car, if you want to keep it reliable, stick to the basics.

Winter tune up, oil/filter, fuel filter, maybe coolant and flush if needed, brake fluid replacement, maybe hydro clutch fluid replacement if needed, check condition of spark plugs.

Now is that 165,000 kilometers, [102.5262 miles] or "165k" miles, [265.542 km] getting up there?
I have less then that on my 94 Integra, 227,000 km, [141.0513 miles].94

as said...tune up! if you're driving this thing in the winter just leave it be as in stay with what ever bolt on's you have. Now if it were a summer car then i'd say start planning
