Hi, new to the forum and was wondering about modifying my accord.
For starters i was thinking about some rims and intake / exhaust mods .
Just looking for any tips you guys might have so i can get started.
As its a darkish blue grey i was thinking about some dark spoked alloys with polished rims , maybe 18's if theres no probs there, ( gotta start somewhere innit! )
Cheers ...

 

Ummm... What exactly are you trying to get accomplished here..? lol

 

Ummmmmm... what am i trying to accomplish with the question or the accord?

With the question... Trying to accomplish gerrin some pointers.
With the accord..... Trying to accomplish a cooler look , sound and performance etc.

 

First off rims.

You can get anything you want, the bolt combo is 5x114.3, and offset around +40 is good. 18" is the best rim for our car, and make sure your tires match the stock outer diameter.
Intake, there is a variety of different intakes, AEM, Injen, Fujita, just research them. Those are about 190 bucks.
DCSports sells the only headers I know of (there may be others) the ceramic one runs at 330 bucks.
If you want a good exhaust, the new Apex'i WS2 muffler can be used, it has a great sound, and looks good with the car itself. There are other ones to use, but that one sounds the best IMHO.
You can get unorthodox racing pulleys, which will give you the biggest whp boost out of the aforementioned, will only cost you 300 bucks, and are extremely easy to install. There is another brand, but idk remember the name.

Do you want to lower your car? Ground effects? Hope this helps.

 

Thanks msedacca, thats helped a bunch, i was gonna add i wanted the wheel pcd sizes but you beat me to it.. im gonna look further into your suggestions and see what kinda prices i can get.. as for the lowering.. u bet.. any advice appreciated.

 

go with lowering first, best all around performance mod for the money. and i personally dont like the look of rims with the "4x4 look" youre rocking right now, lol. ive had TEIN basics for a year and love them

 

I have Tein S-techs, depending on you want, its the lowest springs you can buy I think. Honestly, from what other 7th gen owners have told me, get coilovers, they're a better options, and feel.

With an 18" wheel, your tire size should be 215/45/18. The stock outer diameter of your car's tires are 205/65/15 (im guessing, so tell me if its otherwise). The stock outer diameter is 25.49 in., the 215/45/18 would be 25.61. That is only .4 percent off, which is close enough, because tire wear is faster on summer tires, and will wear faster and not really affect the speedo that much.

And honestly, if I were you and you want some performance, look into the RacingTechnologyCo turbo kit. It runs on all stock parts, no problems as of yet on their test car at 6k miles. Will cost you about 4500 bucks, for 310whp, which is a great deal, and you won't spend money wasting it on I/H/E. Their production model should be out in early september, is what they more or less told me, and I'm going to have it installed at their shop in Kentucky hopefully then.

 

I had tein basics on my 01 civic coupe and they sucked big hairy *****...
