Default searching for long lost cousins

Hi all, new comer here. Anyone here own a 95 AV6? I would like to ask if they got some interesting stuff that they can do to this car. I am getting bored cause there is not much you can do to it.

Talk to Blue95Accord. He's pretty much the only one who frequents this forum with a 95-97 Accord V6.

I am really not interested in mods and the V6 pulls that car easily on the other hand that 4 banger really has to work at it....

Well, if your going stock, I guess the V6 would probebly be the way to go, even though it burns more gas, and even maintence on a V6 is more expensive.

Yes they do use the same engines as the 1st generation Legend, since i replaced the water pump and timing belt and i used the Legend's part. I was about ot buy a 94 legend back than but this AV6 look much more sporty.

The car has 87K miles on it and running very smooth, the car is quite heavy cause i have alot of stuff on it. Not to mention the seats are leather and wood trimming + 2 x amps + Bazooka subwoofer.

The car is auto so there not much fun, more luxury. However, i put some performance stuff into it also. I installed the Tanabe exhaust, K&N drop in filters, Split fire spark plugs, PIAA extreme white headlights. I use 76 gasoline cause it runs much smoother.
