Default What’s up guys I bought my favorite Honda!

Hey so the story starts like this. I am at my neighborhoods liquor store and I seen a guy pull up in what seemed to be a completely stock cb7 coupe with black paint that has a little bit of clear coat issues on the roof and the top of the side view mirrors. When the guy walked in, he was an older Asian man! I asked him is it a ex or an Lx? And it ended up being a 1991 Honda accord ex coupe. So I started talking to the guy more and he said he bought the car brand new in 1991, and he said when his son went to college he gave it to his son, but his son ended up buying another car after college and gave it to his sister who was starting college, and now the dad has the car again after the daughter finished college she didn’t need the car anymore and gave it back to him… anyways I asked if he would sell it, and he responded “hell yeah, I was tired of looking at the thing when I gave it away the first time” lol. So I said would you take 1000$ for it. He said he would take the 1000$ right away so i probably should have hit him a little lower but whatever. Anyways I asked him for a ride to the bank he ok you can drive, then said “and after the bank you can take me home so I can search Craigslist for a new Honda”, he said he has always wanted a first gen crx and he wasn’t getting any younger. And also said his wife was probably going to kill him because he was taking the rest of the money needed out of the savings and he planned on doing it while she was at work lol. The guy was one of the coolest laid back guys I have ever talked to. Anyways I got the car I have wanted to buy every time I have bought a car since the first car I bought but either I didn’t have enough money, or they were all to shitty, or modified by a tweeker, basically something got in the way of me buying the car every single time I looked. But I end up scoring one at the liquor store I go to every day for 1000$. So now ima modify it the right way lol. Suspension, brakes, some wheels and tires, then some engine mods. How strong are the automatic transmissions in these cars? I want to swap the f22a6 cam and the ecu if possible! But I don’t want to swap to the butterfly valve intake manifold because they are getting harder find now and it’s just more parts to break but will the a6 ecu work if I don’t add the a6 intake? I will add a peformance intake manifold but not the oem upgrade! I want to supercharge the car later on, but I don’t know if I want to use 2 amr500 superchargers or if I want to go with a sc14 supercharger, witch one would you guys choose? Before I supercharge the car I think I am going to go with a complete engine rebuild and have the head port and polished, add the a6 cam and upgrade the valves and springs and everything in the head while Its taken apart! Is there any way to beef up the automatic trans in these cars or are they already strong enough? Or should I just try to manual swap if I can find everything I need to cheap enough?
