i'm throwing around the idea on doing a ls/vtec build or possibly doing a turbo setup on my girlfriend's automatic integra. i think it would be different and FUNNY to see people's faces when they find out they beat by an automatic honda.

I think you should just keep the accord stock and as a daily driver and if you want something for fun buy a lighter car with a more easily modded engine, when I say easily modded I mean aftermarket support and not have to worry about customizing stuff
