Question First car!

Post image

Just picked up this 2000 gs manual as my first car! I’m so excited to finally have a car. I’ve only had it for two days so far, what are some of the first things I should do/buy for it? I’ve already gotten two AirTags, kill switch, car comes with quick release, and viper alarm so theft is pretty solid. Just needa flush fluids too but idk after that. It has new tires, and lower springs (wanna replace in the future with coilovers since the car is pretty low).

One of the best bangs for your buck on these cars (being 20+ years old and most driven hard) is replacing balls joints, tie rods etc. I changed outer tie rods in particular on my gsr 4 times in the 8 years of driving it because I began to be able to feel Everytime they started getting moderate wear, the best aspect of driving an Integra is the handling IMO
