ok, so I am new here and just want some suggestions from the general crowd.

I have a stock 92 integra RS. Body has a couple rust spots on it, but nothing really major. What would be the best way to upgrade? I want the car to look basically stock on the outside, however inside can be totally changed.

1. Just do some basic mods, ie, cold air intake, cat back exhaust, headers, short shifter kit, and then get some suspension/tires ( nothing to far from stock )

2. Save up, and buy a VTEC engine swap and start doing the mods on that.

suggestions?
thanks

 

Get some GSR seats, they are freakin awesome, i have em in my RS and they are much nicer than stock RS seats. get a nice deck, maybe LED conversion for dash lights, but i wouldnt go all out respraying interior and ricing it out. Maybe an aftermarket steering wheel? also i heard s2k clusters go in, i've seen a diy somewhere.

for engine, just do LS-Vtec and call it a day. maybe some cams. all depends on your budget and power goals.

 

Exhaust, racing seats(recaro,sparco) 1pc headlights. type r lip(mugen lip is played out), nice rims, momo steering wheel with hub, skunk2 short shifter. Boom, JDM

 

how much would it be to change to a LS-vtec engine? I would also probably have to change the clutch as right now it is a cable ( vs hydraulic ).

 

ok, so now I am getting confused. when you say ls-vtech, what kind of engine do you mean? I see b16, b18 and b20. will any vtech motor bolt up to my transmission so I don't have to do anything on that end?
