Welcome to the land of honda-tech where the tech is plentiful and a-holes love to flame. You will be able to find lots useful information and view different perspectives of the honda owner/tuner culture, but be aware people love to hate wherever you go. Soon you will be able to post topics and be forewarned, there are unspoken rules of honda-tech as follows:

1. Search
2. Keep searching
3. Keep searching some more

Also remember, this is a tech forum so people expect you to back up anything you have to say. Other than that, enjoy and hope you'll love your honda and the honda culture.

Now let's see these hot pics and plans for this honda

Empty parking garage pics FTW! They seem to be the most popular here on H-T.

See....you're learning already.

For uniqueness, I guess. But it's not going to make it any faster. The Acura CSX in Canada is basically the JDM bodied Civic, so if you want to look JDM, Canadian Civics already do

Congrats on the ride. Looks nice.

Welcome to H-T. Don't be scared off by the talk of flamers. Just need to remember a couple things.

If you install a mod, besure to support your gains with a Dyno.
If you track your car and claim a time, besure to support your claim with a track ticket.
If you have a opinion, get rid of it now, because it will always be wrong. j/k

Actually, 95% of the people on this forum are very helpful and EXTREMELY knowledgable about these cars. In addition, a great many of the performance shops, Honda tech's and mechanics, and aftermarket vendors post here.

The people on this site can help you with every aspect of your vehicle, from building a 400whp monster, to installing an audio system that rocks the neighborhood.

Welcome

Hey folks. I just picked up a brand spankin' new 08' NHBP FG2 last night right after my softball game, call it a victory celebration if you will. Anyways, i wanted to know what mods i could do right off the bat. This whip is MUCH faster than anything i have ever driven so leave out stuff that boosts HP/torque and stuff. I'm well on my way to a speeding ticket as it is. Also, remember that i am fresh out of college and can't spend much more than i already am. So, basically, whats the best mod(s) for my money???
