Default Restoring my DD. |92|290k|

Here's the problem....

This car won't die!
My wife and I agree that once it blows, I can get something newer.
However, Its been 3 years and 50k miles, and there is no sign of it failing.
I literally floor it everywhere I go.
Just the other day I was floored for a good hour on the freeway doing 90+.
I only say that because it shows the stock 1.5L is still healthy. Relatively.
Not only that, but in that time, I've only replace a fuel pump, main relay, brakes, and tires. All things that are simple, cheap, and needed on just about every car.



So. Here are some pictures:






If this was your car, and you drove it daily... what would you do?

I'm thinking I could go for some seats and stereo.
Suggestions on which ones? What would these cost?

Don't see why u need a new car. The body is clean. Yes, new seats should be in order. Not feeling the interior color. Wish my 95 was in the shape of yours. Its a rust bucket.
do a motor swap and it will change the way the car feel.

You can get some integra seats, those would be nice and easy swap. Or just get some seats cover like I did. Universal kinds. Last a while, and masked all the tears.

Do Integra seats bolts right in?
All years?

'94 - '01 Integra front seats are direct bolt in.

I'd probably look at finding a grey interior, they're very common and easy to swap and then use Integra front seats.
