Re: I need alot of help.
It doesn't really say what model it is unless it is a type R or a GSR. But what you have is a rs,gs, or ls integra because the GSRs and TypeR's never came with an automatic. They all have the same 1.8 liter (b18) engine with ~140 hp. Those rims are usually on an ls. Someone more experienced with tegs here might be able to tell you more. But that is basically what you have.
You can do a bunch of bolt on stuff to increase the power of the car, but the major upgrades are costly. Intake/header/exhaust (basic boltons) will give it that extra kick and probably make it a lot more fun to drive. I would recommend getting a manual transmission, but that's also a relatively costly swap. If you are on a limited budget, then do the boltons, and perhaps some nice suspension work. That will make the car a hoot to drive. But it all depends on how much money you want to spend and what you want out of the car. Goodluck, and nice looking car. (those tires look very grippy)

Make sure you buy quality parts too, nothing cheap or half-ass or you will regret it later. If you search you'll be able to find some good recommendations and setups

Re: I need alot of help.
i agree that you should save your money for now....if you're going to go to college, save the money for that and just drive around in your Acura.....

Loans are for collage, I was looking at www.greddy.com for a turbo for my car right, Well it sais that there is a turbo for a 1994-2000 integra MINES A 2001 does that one year make any diffrence? I think im going to call them I got the number. And if I spend like $5,000 at one place is that normal becuase I hear greddy has really good parts.

Re: I need alot of help.
don't drop all that money into an auto. manuals are cheaper anyway and they'll give you much better performance. Besides what are you planning on doing with this car? Drag? If you are definently drop this one and go stick.

Ok . Listen to me. It is a nice looking car and all, but PLEASE don't spend money on it. I know you really want to but you will regret it in a year or two. I have an automatic Civic and while I love how it looks and drives, its still an auto, and still needs a ton of work to make it fast. I have spent about $7500 total on my Civic, which could have gotten me an Eclipse GSX or at least a turbo 5spd hatch w/GSR. Don't waste your money on this Integra. The only way to get real power from it is to either build the motor NA, or turbo it (or swap) So just keep saving and you wont regret it.
