. You seem pretty knowledgeable on Integras and I'm still learning...
Stuff I have/want to fix:
1) Fix the two CEL lights I have P1381 & P1457
2) Change both of my CV Axles (boots ripped)
3) Change my clutch/flywheel (and maybe my master and slave cylinder since I'm already there)
4) Flush/refill my MTF
5) Change the motor mount(s) (motor moves too much when i'm at high rpms and I release gas pedal)
6) Get valve adjustment
1, Find what the CEL's are, and replace repair what's needed.
2, Axles are pretty straight forward, I expect to do it while you change the clutch since you have to pull the axles to do so anyway.
3, Clutch and flywheel can get pretty intimidating, but just takes some time.
4, Flush/refill trans fluid, do it while you do the clutch, Honda MTF only, GM Sycromesh is also very good.
5, Motor mounts are pretty easy, your rear mount is probably gone, like mine was, in short, it's a real PITA.
6, Valve adjustents are easy, but on the VTEC motors you need special tools, it's like $70/80 from Honda for them, I suggest going to Honda, they charge about $80, but need the car for about 4 hours, or sometimes over night depending on how busy they are since the motor has to be stone cold.
