Hello, and welcome to the forum. Yeah, I agree that you may have robbed the guy. Would like to see a photo of your car when you get a chance.
Regarding modifications, I'm not the person to answer that; I have done no engine or mechanical mods to my 88 LX-i. Other members here are much more knowledgeable with regard to mods to Honda Accords.

You have the cart well ahead of the horse, I'm afraid. The car is old and tired and you need to focus on getting all the other mechanical issues sorted out before you start adding go-fast stuff. Save your money for awhile. The car is going to throw you some curve balls in the next few months and you'll need your money to fix it. Once you've made it reliable, you can start modding.
