Default Just got car, running really bad

I just picked up an 89 integra for free and I was considering making it a drifter or something. I need to get it running good and smogged before I do anything else though. It runs really rich and has a lot of miles but I think I can get it to pass smog with a little work. I'm going to replace the following on it, and some advice on getting aftermarket stuff would be helpful.
air filter
plugs
wires
egr
cat
02 sesor
oil change!!!!!!!
If anyone knows a good place to shop for these parts (good prices online) or any aftermarket performance adding stuff let me know. I used to work at Honda years ago, but I'm kind of out of the loop.

if you want to stay with Acura factory parts, try A&H Motorsport at http://www.ahmotor.com/

I am VERY happy with the parts and prices I've got from them. They do also have aftermarket springs, shocks, wings, yadda-yadda-yadda.

Jesus man, I'm not really being all that serious. Pull up on the E-brake of any car and you can drift it. I'm planning on getting this car smogged and ****ing it up.

I wish I had an extra beater. why not take care of it, instead of messing it up?

40 plus miles every day is taking its toll on my car...

Integra drifter...:rofl:

E-brakes aren't how you're really supposed to do it though.

That aside, the engine is mechanically identical to the ZC, and most ZC parts are higher output units then those in the D16A1, so start swapping. The car overall mods like a 3G Civic, there are parts out there, you just have to look a little harder. Good luck!:thumbup:

Let's just drop the drifting subject all together, I know it's a touchy subject. I would keep it as a daily driver but it's got 254,000 miles on it. The motor is probably on the way out and I just want to squeeze the last bit of life out of it having a lot of fun. This car is what I always dreamed of. A free car to mess around with.
