Before modding, security FIRST. A good alarm and some kill switches. Then you can mod all you want.

What's the mileage? Is it 5-speed or auto?

 

[samilp]

how much are you thinking about spending on your car?

 

[pico2008]

yah thts prob a good idea i heaar integras r stolen alot in the us

 

[pico2008]

the mileage is 160000 and it is an auto and i was looking to spend probably about 10 gs over time most likely more but well see

The auto tran's is going to be a little more difficult to play with, but you can still squeeze some power out of it. I would look into either swapping the tran's if you want hellllllllllla power, or look at some auto builds to see how they did on their tran's. I know 8urcivic is really interested in an auto-build, so yo may want to talk to him a bit about his thoughts on the power that the tran's can withstand

yah i thought of swapping out the trannys but a friend of mine tht did tht said it cost a shitload of monney id have to leave it alone for a while to save tht kind of money up but ill definently msg tht guy about it but i was just thinkin to buy the cool air intake then a new exhaust it has an aftermarket tip on the car but i wanna put in the whole system and eventually the turbo

gsr hydro 5 speed and jdm b20b swap plus parts costed me 2150 . i/h/e=750, interior i spent 1100 to make black...lol...
next is alarm system ~400 ish with sensors..and.coilovers ~900
for the next 6 months i'm planning 4500~ for boost parts and engine build parts (sleaving and such.)
but hopefully before boost i can put in sway/strut bar+lsd
hope the prices give you an idea...audio will take another bite out of my wallet.

wow thts a good chunk of cash im only 17 and i work at a valvoline its a good at but idk about doing alot at once its gunna be slowly over time but yah thoe pricings helped but for audio i actually bought a 500 dollar jbl sub and an amp for it for 150 bucks from the same uncle tht sold me my integra haha

 

[01FTW]

Sell it and buy an old celica gts with manual transmission because thatll even be more fun to drive.

 

[pico2008]

ehh idk if i could do tht =/ i love my integra way to much to do tht

 

[8-bit]

Sell it then look for a 5spd integra...

 

[pico2008]

yah do u think i could get a 5 speed for my ls it has no rust runs perfectly no problems

 

[8-bit]

I sold my 2000 ls and got myslef a 94 gsr. For cheap.
rust maybe involved.
