New to Acuras

[pcdj64]

I just acquired a 2001 Acura Integra GS-R with 153K on the body, newly rebuilt B18C1 engine and GS-R transmission with a stage 2 clutch.
It needs work, i want to find the original leather seats with the red stitching, the car was stolen a few years ago and they took the interior and the wheels.
It has skunk2 lowering springs so i am cleaning dust off of the roads i drive down, i plan on putting in OEM springs to bring it back to normal ride height.
The car is wicked fast with the VTEC, i didn't know what VTEC was until i drove the car, what a surprise lol.
This was a Tennessee car so there is no rust anywhere on the car.

If anyone has any tips or suggestions i would love to hear from you.
i want to know if i should put the car back to stock or leave the performance parts on it? will i lose a lot of power by installing a stock exhaust and air box? there is no header and the intake is stock already.

thank you for reading

Welcome!
Stock exhaust, intake, and headers are more restricting than aftermarket products. You would get a few more horses by upgrading those (so I say keep what is aftermarket as long as it is quality stuff). Overall though do what you want with the car; that's the most important rule in my books

If you wanna raise your car a bit but not be at off-roading OEM height, I'd probably go for the Eibach Pro-Kit since it's a mild drop.

I'd say leave the performance parts on it. I don't think that you'd lose too much power if you put OEM parts on, but then what's the point of having a GS-R?

It sounds like you're talking about Type-R seats, but they're not leather. GS-R/SE seats are, but they don't have the red stitching unless you re-wrap them.
