Default What should i do to my DX??

I got a 93 Civic DX..With about 195k miles on it.
Is it worth swaping engine/motor and modifying it?

in general, if the car has been well maintained(brake pads, etc..) the car body should be in good shape. Put a low mileage swap in there and enjoy the ride. BTW, I would look into replacing your suspension bushings with such high mileage. Also, check your wheel bearings for play.

Yea the previous owner gave me the log to all of the maintenance/repairs. It has been kept in real good condition and most of the miles are hwy miles.

i have a 93 dx hatch.... 190,000 miles, 3 major accidents, and alot of abuse.. we replaced the bushings, bearings, swaybars(actually, added) and brakes. we added a cai fuelpressure reg, fuel pump, header, cat, and exhuast and the car runs perfectly..... probably better than most new cars
