I also have a 1991 accord. I am going to do an H22a with LSD 5-speed tranny swap, but that's not very cheap. The cheap stuff:-You could get new headers for around 60 bucks (just get some off ebay because most headers are close enough to being the same that it won't matter what you get- that is, unless you buy 4 into 1 headers from DC Sports or something, but i don't believe they make them for accords)-buy a catback exhaust for anywhere between $150-$400-get rid of the crappy stock intake and put a cold air intake in its place, those are around $50 on ebay and then i would just buy a K&N filter for it rather than using the cheap filter that comes with cheap air intakes-if you have the black lining (that keeps people from door slamming your car) around the outside of your car you could paint it the same color as your car (i have not done this, but i hear that it looks better like that)-replace the bumper lights with OEM clear ones (literally like $5 on ebay), and since you already have blinkers in your cornerlights, you can turn the bumperlights into fog lights (with some easy modification, i have already done this and it took around $50 for all the parts to do it but thats because the replacement fog light bulbs i bought were 10 bucks each)-window tint may be an option (i don't know how much it costs to have it "professionally done", but a roll of tint costs like $10 at walmart or autozone or wherever you wanna go, and they have tinting kits that you can buy for around the same price. I would not recommend tinting your own windows if you currently have no idea how to do it, because you will probably mess up and it will look like crap)-I am personally thinking about getting a front/rear bumper from a 1993 accord, because i think they look better than the 1991's bumpers-Get a braided steel brake line - should be around $150-spark plugs and wires abour $75 all together for nice ones, but there are cheaper ones that will work well also-AEM fuel rail $150-new brake pads (around $50 for two)-drilled and slotted rotors about $200-strut tower bar set, about $150-adjustable fuel pump $100Things that cost a little more:-New rims/tires (go with powder black or flat black or something like that on the rims, as I and many other people believe that they look the best). It depends on what tires and what rims you get, but you could find some nice ones for around $800-engine swap (everything you need for a H22a swap should be around $2000-$2500, B series are nice also and cost a little less.-new camshafts $600-racing seats (reclinable with sliders) no-name brand should be under $300-buy a body kit - if you are going to put it on yourself, don't buy a $400 fiberglass kit, because they are a pain in the @** to put on. You'll find it worth it to buy one for around $700-$800, because they don't break or warp during shipping nearly as easily as fiberglass kits do-if you're not into body kits, buy a front and rear lip kit, and buy 2 sideskirts. that's what I'll be doing to mine. I'm not sure of the price, but it will be cheaper than a body kit.-coilover suspension anywhere from $300-$700-fuel injectors $300you could also upgrade engine internals. maybe put some iron sleeves, upgrades pistons, valves and springs, etc. and then put a turbo with an intercooler on it, or if you want to go straight motor then replace the internals and overbore it.
