Digi/Aftermarket ignition: The stock system is fine unless you're making serious power thru turbo/SC, nawss or serious NA setup.
Venom (and other) Chips: Most simply fool the ECU into thinking you've pressed the gas further than you have, ruining fuel economy and not making any power. Nevermind the CEL's and all that fun.
Just drop it with some springs and shocks, slap on an intake, headER and cat-back and be happy for now. You could also lighten your flywheel for some throttle response. There is no cheap and easy way to make a slow-ass honda, fast. Do a search, on this site and others. You're sure to find what you need to make your car the way you want it to be.

Are you planning on purchasing anything yet?

did you see the mileage though? 92,xxx. that's pretty good for a 92. but what would be a good price for this car? and it's also at a dealership so of course it's gonna be overpriced.
