When I first bought the car I need to replace the timing belt and the other serpintine belts. I then replaced the brake system. The interior needs to be steam cleaned, but I bought seat covers for that problem.
At around 160,000 miles I poured more money into the car and did an LS/Vtec conversion. I spent a good amount of 4000 in doing this setup. I changed out the cam gears, the cam shaft, I got new vavle retainers, forged pistons. I also had the head polished. I then got an OBX cold air intake system and modified it to take the AEM bypass valve so I don't get hydrolock. I got JG ceramic coated headers and a Xternal Racing Tech. intake manifold. I also got a new Ground Wire Kit, with new Spark plugs and a new spark plug wire. I also replaced the shocks with Tokico high performance shocks with Eibach Ground Control Coil Over Springs. No body kit as of it, but it will have one soon. I also have a set of TSW 16in chrome rims on 205 toyo tires. I don't race it all the time, I just want the vtec power when I want to race someone. It handles great with the upgraded suspension kit that I got on it. It hasn't been to a dyno tuning lately, I will go once I get some new parts for the car. There is the stock exhaust system on it so youll never suspect this car to be fast. It's a real sleeper! I've beat cars just as fast as this e. g mustangs, RSX-S, the boxter, GSR, and SI, and a couple WRX's. When I get the final drive in the car its gonna be a very fast and furious sleeper.
Has this car been a reliable daily driver?

So how has that LS/Vtec done you??? Oh yea about that AEM bypass on the OBX intake if something does happen to your engine like it hydrolocks even with the bypass valve AEM won't gaurentee anything. they only gaurentee that the valve will work with AEM intakes.
Or you could have just supercharged it and gotten far more horsepower for the same money.
Thank goodness for the stock exhaust as I am usually terrified of cars with aftermarket ones. After all, more noise and less torque = more speed.
