thats a lot of miles man. Shoulda started with less mileage, but to answer your question, you need to tell us what you want to do with your car.
Race? Race/Show? or Show?

Make it a little faster. Make it look nicer. Its just for driving. No racing. No show, unless its friends.
Yea lots of miles, not sure how someone could but that much on in 2 years.... I bought it at the auction.

Anyway, a set of wheels is a no-brainer... as well as some height reduction in stance...

As for a good performance mod, you can never go wrong with an AEM Cold-Air Intake. Makes the car sound great and gives a great deal of power for relatively cheap -- $180ish @ www.importhorizon.com That should keep you busy for a while.

74000 miles a lot on a honda?!?! Where's the faith? Chances are if there's that many on a 2000 they are all highway miles. My 99 has 73000.

74,500 is alotta miles... i only got 21000+ on my car... n its a 2000, i dunno but das just me... since u only want to upgrade performance... u can do the usual intake-header-exhaust combo... lowering and stiffening up the suspension... depends wut kinda performance u want to do... but imo u should do the suspension first... 74,500 miles is alot... dat car has seen many roads and prally many pot-holes... plus i would do all the basic maintenance things... new spark plugs, new fluids, new clutch n flywheel if its manual, etc... make sure u get the car back into peak shape stock... then start adding mods... less headache that way...
