Default What to do with my Accord

New to this forum and I am in need of some advice, I recently bought a Pathfinder and love it but I still have my 97 ex. Now I am not planning on selling my accord mostly because it was my first car and its extremely sentimental to me. But I was wondering where I should start on making a fun weekend car (maybe even a track day) I was thinking starting with some coil overs and some new spark plugs and other basic "upgrades". Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Try doing what I did. When the shocks needed to be replaced, I installed an upgraded suspension. When the tires wore out, I installed 205/55/15 summer tires. When the brakes wore out, I installed performance brake pads. If the exhaust is bad, buy a cheap $100 exhaust system, cut the ugly cannister off, get a Magnaflow muffler, then have a quality exhaust shop to weld it all together.

Suspension and tires made the most difference in the driving experience to me.

You can upgrade the exhaust and intake.
Some good coil overs and wheels with some good tires.

Don't forget the brakes. They make a huge difference just driving around town. And in the mountains it is great to have brakes then never fade.
