Hey guys as some of you know I was selling my accord to get a 99 3 series, anyway i decided to stick w/ my accord fro just a tad bit more. Some things I found out to be true. MODIFICATIONS even minor *** ones bring down the price of the car, so here comes my next question, and yes yes i know search search but this is a lil different...

Itsa automatic, 68k miles, I4.....i want to give it a little more umph, but with two things in mind. 1 $, and 2 not f'in over the resale value. Some things i've considered is the v6 swap, dont even know if that will drop right in and how much will the parts cost, as far as labor i got a shop that'll hook it up.

The car is pretty much stock, i got a CAI, and a muffler , so as far as upgrades go i dont wanna do a manny conversion or even the v6 because thats something that will kill the value but could be worth it....someone inspire me. I was trying to sell the car for a pretty large ammount, my pops said to get 4,700 for it and he'll let me finance a new accord.....

^^pretty much babble, please reply if you've had thoughts like this...feels like im giving away my kid

 

keep the accord

 

keep it. if you want a little more oompf without having to mod it too much throw a nitrous bottle on it and call it a day.

 

im also thinking about getting rid of my accord and rebuying an sc400. i used to have one but it was riddled with problems; a hack job, imo. but, now, i loved that car on its good days. AHHH! i dont know! suspension work on that thing was a bitch though...

wont it screw up my internals?

 

Total it and collect insurane money. Ive gotten almost the same amount off my two totalled Accords.

94 bought for 6700 with 130k
totalled for 6500 with 143k

98 totalled for 6900 with 145k
bought for 6800 with 131k

I now have my 98 V6 which I bought for 6700 and 86k
Hoping not to total this one too.*knocks on wood*

 

K anyone know some good places to total a car where there's not a lot of pedestrians or bystandards? ))))))

nitrous? not too much unless you use it all the time or install it wrong or try to run a 100 shot on your stock motor! 65 or 75 shot wet would be safe IMO.
