welcome.... car looks good...

 

Consensus seems to be lowering it first. I'd say get the Eibach Pro Kit, should be a 1.25" drop for yours. Then get the Intake and go from there.

 

looks good so far. Lower it and then put some tasteful rims on it

 

make sure the retainer clip was installed for the balancer shaft seal

make sure the timing belt is done...

To continie was CJamie was saying, you can call Honda of America's customer relations number with your VIN at hand, and they will be able to tell you if and when the oil seal was replaced under the recall back in 2000/2001. The recall has long been expired, but if it hasnt been done (chances are it has, however) then I strongly recommend getting it done asap, if this seal fails.. you will suddenly lose oil and cause your engine to fail (before you have time to even know what is going on) Also, all 96-97 Honda vehicles are covered under a 14 year, 150,000 mile emissions extended warranty. Your local dealership will provice you with a two page list of everything that is covered under this 'recall/warranty extension' it also entitles you to free tune-ups from 75,000 miles all the way up to 150,000 miles or 14 years. I don't have the list on hand, but a few of the many things covered are spark plug wires, spark plugs, distributor, distributor cap/rotor, all sensors, fuel system, catylitic and A-pipe, and anything that sets off the Service Engine Soon Light. If this light ever appears, your Honda dealer will diagnose it for free and repair the part at fault, free of charge. Here is the actual article on the issue -

"1995 Accord V6, Acura NSX, Acura 2.5 TL; all 1996-97 Hondas and Acuras, except for the Acura Integra Type R and the Isuzu-built Acura and Honda Passport.
Problem: Engine malfunctions cause emissions to exceed the federal norm.
Warranty coverage: In a settlement with the Environmental Protection Agency, Honda extended its emissions warranty to 14 years or 150,000 miles. The automaker has agreed to the EPA's demand that it provide a full engine check and emissions-related repairs at 50,000 to 150,000 miles and give free tune-ups at 75,000 to 150,000 miles. This means that costly engine components and exhaust system parts like catalytic converters will be replaced free of charge. It is estimated the free check-ups, repairs, and tuneups will cost Honda over $250 million. The story of the settlement was first reported on page 6 of the June 15, 1998 edition of Automotive News"
