Hey guys

Just got a 97 acura integra LS... Its a fast sporty car. I just wanted to know what i can do to have some show and go (lights, vinyls, cold air, ect) I just wanted to know what would be good to make the car look a little more tuner like. Also what would be some good inexpensive performance parts to start out with??

Thanks

 

Tuner like? whats that?
If your looking for the "fast and the furious" look I cant help you there.Actually I don't think you'll get much help at all if your looking for that.

What are your plans? Do you want to improve performance? What kind of budget do you want to keep it at?

I'm not into the "show" part....as all my cars retain the factory bumpers, side skirts,fenders, lights,etc.....For me it's all about performance so I can help you there.....

 

if you cant help with makin it fast and the furious style thats fine

but if you can help with the performance parts that would be awesome... trying to maybe get a better acceleration with a better sounding exaust system.. if you are familar with flowmaster mufflers, that is the type of sound i would be going for.... im looking for anything pretty much that cost less then $1,000... any help at all would be apreciated!

Thanks!

 

Are you wanting to stay N/A or would you consider boost (turbo).
Flowmaster sounds different on each type of vehicle. Check around with other people who have integra's check out their exhaust set-ups to get a better idea.
If your going to stay N/A then invest in a good cold air intake, a quality header, and 2.25" exhaust piping w/muffler of choice. The muffler will make the biggest change in sound (each muffler sounds differently)...
All my parts are geared towards performance so I cant help you to much on picking parts for the sound. I run what I need to (3" exhaust for example) and if I don't like it I alter (say add a resinator) it to suit my needs.
If you would like to go turbo, then I can help you more. You can have a safe reliable set-up for a little more then $1,000. Keep in mind though that your not going to make tons of power with that set-up(*), you'll need a tad more to make more reliable power.You could easily get to about 225whp or so with your budget.

* Cheap
Fast
Reliable...
Pick two and sacrifice the other (**)

** in most cases.

If your just looking for a little kick in the performance dept (mostly mental performance because average gain will be about 5-10hp) then the intake,header,exhaust route is for you.
Expect to pay about $450 for exhaust, $250 for intake, and about $300 for header.
