90 accord LX project (non Vtec)-> Give some suggestions. Already have a 3a racing exhaust, Ractive long ram intake, looking at DC Headers but havent bought them yet. What do think i could do? I already have 2 1/4 exhaust piping w/ no cat for it ready to go.
About June im gonna have $5000 to use in the car. Heres the plans Tell me what you think:
1) All new suspension
2) White Rims
3) Body redone
4) body kit
5) Some sort of black paint

Doing it all my-self, got a friend at a car dealership that will paint it for free if i buy the paint. The body kit and all is going on by Dads friend that works in a body shop. So i might have more money to spread out, so tell me what you think.

i think you should hold off on the body kit,

but with 5g's you can get yourself a h22 swap or boost,

suspension, rims are something you can do first since you got most the other stuff..
and whatever you have left work on the engine, cause after 90-100k your gonna be back on this post asking what happen to the power you once had... so h22 all the way imo..

 

If i was you i would do it in this order, you may run short of money
1. do the whole suspension
2. rims
3. boost or engine swap (or both)
4. body kit then repaint the whole car so the paint is a perfect match

 

Yeah i forgot the one most important thing that i wanted to do to it was put in a new motor. But i'm not sure of what kind to put in it. Some friends think i should do a type R motor. what do you guys think i should do.

 

A type R motor from a what? Integra? Go for an H22, but hold off on your DC sports header for your current F22 if you're going to do a swap just a little way down the road, as you'd be wasting your money on a part that you're just going to take off in a few months anyway.

 

Looked up a H22 motor from jazzproparts.com. Cost about 2450. Heres the link for it tell me what you think. They have a long block h22 for like a grand cheaper. but whats the differance? thanks
