sup ya'll! im a noob to this site so i hope some of u ppl can gimmie a hand with my accord. I got a 2002 Honda Accord SE V6; auto . What i need help with is how to keep my accord fast while making it a show car? What my plan is, is gettin custom work done to it from head to toe, from body work to audio/video system. What i am afraid of is adding all that will weigh down my car, so i was thinking gettin it supercharged but that would be too much , im not looking to go super fast, just something that will have just enough power to balance my car. Any pointers or tips?

And another thing.. i was think of getting a Lancer/Evo tail light conversion. But b4 i do i though maybe u can tell me what u think first?

Your not going to get a warm welcome here if those are your plans because most people on here are function over form. Do what you like though, don't let other people tell you what to do. Just don't plan on getting much advice in here on things like body kits and that. For things like that go to the Appearance forum and Audio/Video forum. Not bashing you or anything I'm just letting you know what to expect.

Welcome to Honda-Tech

 

tru say! but i can't really do much in a automatic from what i was told that is.. but what i was sayin earlier is just a plan.. im just lookin for some pointers on engine. Like yea i do want my car to look nice and yea i do want function over form. It's just the automatic thing, i heard lots of **** about how it robs HP, and i heard lots of **** about not robbin HP and crap like that, so i dunno what to believe anymore. Then i found this site thought maybe these ppl might know what to do.

Thanks for the head's up TouringAccord.

if u haven't noticed im kinda new with engines. i know the basic stuff like intake, exhaust, headers, but going into detail nada clue

 

i don't even think that made sense

 

it's cool.

it's true, auto isn't the best option for performance but that hasn't stopped some poeple. I've seen people on here with turbo automatics and such. I don't know what is availible for the auto to help make it stronger to hold up to added power because I haven't owned an auto I've wanted to add power too. So this is basically as far as I can help you. Try searching the archives, you might find some info there. As I said before, I know there are many people on this board with autos so there has to be some info here somewhere you just have to find it. Good luck and have fun.

 

if you have the money... I believe there is some sort of a manual swap you can do from an Acura vehicle (the TL or something) that's a 6spd.

I remember reading about it somewhere.

 

first determine how much money you want to spend and how much can afford to spend?

inorder to have a turbo built-auto V6 honda that alone is going to cost atleast $5-6K. all the other stuff to make it a show car prolly another $5-6K. do you really want to spend $10-12K on your car? this is in US dollars btw. i say sell the car and get a car that is already bling bling like a TSX and be cool with that.

 

yea thats alot of money, but the way i see it.. if i start something i gotta finish. kind of a dumb saying but it keeps me motivated

Thanks for thips guy, been alot of help.
