Starting from the bottom
I have a 94 civic coupe that I have had for about 3 years. I haven't given her the proper attention and I finally have the opportunity to. I was thinking about getting new axles and rotors first. Any suggestions as to whether or not I should start there?

How about maintenance stuff, like a timing belt job?
You won't need axles or brakes if the engine won't run!

Well I am doing an h22 vtec swap.The engine does idle a little bit low from time to time. The issue I am facing is that within the next 2 months I really won't be driving it and idk if I should do some quick fixes to an engine I won't be using.

Well, why didn't you say so?
Should have a boatload of stop when you have a ton of go.
Um.....Might want to wait and see.....axles may need to be very different for a swap with a different trans.

if you are going to install different brakes, now is the time.
if you have the H22 out the car, wait for the axles, unless it is showing signs that it will not be running for long.

I will look into brakes and new rotors the old ones are pretty rusted. My axles are in pretty rough shape as well. I will be pretty much replacing most of the components in the car. I am a noob to the more technical side of things so if you guys could just bare with me lol.
