hey yall what do you think i should do to my car for $1000? other than I/E/H..anything else? i could have gotten i deal on a dvd player but i know id get in to a wreck...my friends said i should get a kit but i want to keep my car simple ... what do yall think? thanks!

 

suspension, lightened flywheel, bushing kit, give it to me

 

forget the kit, listen to your freinds keep it simple, stay away from rice, plus 1k wont go far on accords man, learn what your getting yourself into

nitrous, with a $1000 limit you could get a real nice N.O.S. setup!

 

yeah but he doesnt have an exhaust yet, spraying with a stock exhaust is majorly asking for trouble

 

oh, i figured he already had i/h/e, since he said "other than i/h/e."
but, if not then......
what ever you want to get its your car.
id say a hondata setup.
go ahead and get that out of the way.

 

Since $1k sadly doesn't go far in terms of horsepower (it could get you off-brand I/H/E for a puny power gain)...
1) You could get nice shocks and springs. If you do the labor yourself you could throw a bushing kit in there too, but most bushings require a hydraulic press.
2) An alarm and a nice stereo. I'd recommend a high-voltage output CD player, a 4-channel amp, 6½ components up front, and 6x9s in the rear, but that would be over-budget I think.

 

the Alpine CD players output 60W x 4 RMS... and you can get good deals on them on EBay... then find a set of MB Quart components for the front, and MB Quart 6x9s for the rear.... and the setup is banging! note: this setup proved well in my car and 3 others... the fidelity of the sound is impressive!

 

Personally, if I was going to do it all over agin with a stock car, I would take the $1000 and save it for a swap.

If not, I would spend the $1000 on a new suspension. Struts, springs, rear sway bar, and bushings. If I could find good enough deals on this, I would try to squeeze in a nice set of tires.

 

save the money and buy a bike. then you would have 2 toys. thats what i did instead of putting a big turbo on my h22 swap. best decision ive ever made

 

oh trust me ive got my audio and alarm cover...ive spent more then $1K in that dept!!

suspension

 

ok other than suspension anything for the engine...i know now that $1K isnt alot..but what could it get me?

 

NAWZ YO!

 

You could get an LSD then. If you ever did a motor swap the LSD could also go into to Prelude tranny.
Give the money to me and I'll get an LSD. Thank you drive through.

 

$1000 will get you most of my suspension, I got my prothane bushings today and that put it over the mark. Do you do any racing or just cruise the streets?

 

mostly just drive to work school and when i go out cuz noone wants to drive cuz i have the "cool" car.

 

H-O-N-D-A-T-A!

 

but what could i get from them??? all i have it intake i had exhaust and a header but i took but off...the header im not sure why but im puttin it back on and the exhaust cuz it started to get insanly loud and everything else is stock except for my suspension and my wheels...and my engine is the f22b2 non-vtec

to be honest with you man, do not spend the money. If you do not know what you want then you will not be happy with something we tell you to buy. You will find something in due time but let the money sit in a savings account fro now.
