Default 01 lx rebuilt (New to tuning.)

Okay so a couple years back I wrecked my 01 lx.

Luckily my dad is a body tech, so I got a hood and bumper free from the shop. Had to replace the core support radiator, etc....

So the engine was not damaged. From what I can tell.

I recently took it out of the garage after 2 years of sitting.

Brakes are a little noisy, and aren't stopping to well. So I know they need changed for sure.

When I first got the car I was moer of a careless owner. I was 16. Didn't really know how great of a car it was.

So I really need to know what I can do now that its back on the road again, to get it back up to par. Like oil change is already done.

Im asking more of what kind of tune up I need to do what should I replace etc....


Once all of this is done, I plan to put the intake I bought before the wreck on, headers, exhaust in the near future.


Any input would help.

Following are suggestions:

1) Timing belt, water pump, and tensioners if they are due (if never changed they're due no matter the miles).

2) Drain and replace transmission fluiid w/ Honda ATF Z1

3) New air filter and spark plugs.

good luck
