Just a 1998 Accord V6
I got this car from my parents, saving money for my next project(G35? / Srt4?/ITR?), decided to mod this family car a little bit, not too much.
feel free to post comments...
Mods, nothing too fancy
20% Tint
Tein s-techs
Thermal Exhaust, 2.5 piping
Random Tech High FLow Cat
(OEM Cat went out, Oem cat was over $550@Honda, paid $250 for this one)
Soon:
17'' TL/TSX OEM rims coming soon, Cheap 3'' Intake.
Before
After

The drop is nice, i'd ditch the ***** pink tails though.
With my car, I got red/clears. You could also 'smoke' the top. It's up to you, I just dont like rocking pink taillights...

i own a 2001 black SE. but why the hell would you want to mod this car for? this kind of cars are meant to be a DAILY DRIVER. dont tune it. leave it alone. so you can can drive it anywhere. anytime. ive been tuning cars and i know how it feels to not have AC, power steering, and having your **** soooo dropped that you cant even drive through many places. im glad i got one with all power accessories and all the luxuries. i bet that exhaust is loud as hell. i wouldnt like that in a family car. and most tuners dont like their exhaust systems all loud and noticable. its all about that sleeper sound and sleeper look. leave it alone.

I've got teh same car except 4 cyl. There's nothing wrong with suspension and basic mods to an Accord, they make it more fun. Why not enjoy the thing if it's what you've got?

if your going to tune a car. tune a car thats meant to be tuned. like any of the hatches, 2 doors. but this is a car thats meant to be comfortable and reliable. the more aftermarket parts you put on your car, the less reliable it gets.

No car is 'meant' to be tuned. Hatches were made to be practical, economical, and cheap, not to be made into little racecars, yet people do it all the time. Were the TSX and TL intended to be racecars? No, they were supposed to be nice, cushy family cars. Yet both are used as racecars.

Ive owned many cars, I know what your talking about... I had a civic cx with gutted interior/no clock/ac/power anything for 2 summers, ran a 13.6 in it all motor
God invented the Resenator for a reason, and it isnt loud at all unless u go pass 5k rpms, as for modding the car, I just felt like it, nothing too hardcore... saving to buy a nice car in 2006 or so.
