It's here, it's here, it's here!

Snagged the above car with a mere 51,000 miles on it from Gresham, Oregon. It's perfect: never wrecked, always serviced at the same dealer and driven by a woman. Bad points are a few paint chips on the front and some grinds on the rims.

My current car is a Subaru Legacy GT which has explosive acceleration, endless torque and over-powered everything (think of it as a speedboat; I DESPISE this car).

However the Subaru makes the SH feel very mechanical (good, but unfamiliar) and a tad slow; I probably need to learn to drive it differently. It also doesn't help that the SH came with tires that belong on a minivan.

I digress. I want to keep this car as pure as possible, (I don’t want to dilute Honda’s engineers intent) but want a little more here and there.
1. Tires - I live in Atlanta, so no snow
2. Exhaust - something throaty, but mature

Thanks for sharing your wisdom.

 

Dear Diary,
Mood: Apathetic


what is your question????

 

i think if you search you will find lots of info about modifying your car to not steer too far from hondas origional plans for the car. there are many threads about exhausts as well. I believe Greddy makes a decent exhaust that won't be too loud and attract a lot of attention, Apexi makes the world sport exhaust, there are a lot of choices, search is your friend

 

1. What is the best tire?
2. Which exhaust sounds good without being obnoxious.

 

As far as the tire goes, read the reviews and tests on tirerack.
