Okay gents, so here's another question, hopefully I'll elicit some responses with this one as my last questions were largely left unanswered .

I've got an 03 Accord EX-L, 4 door 5 speed. I wanted a 4 door because I own a repair business and am carting around TVs, PCs, power tools, etc etc. Plus I play hockey, so it's nice to have the extra room.

I'd like to start putting some extra money into it. I'm not looking for a 10 second drag car, I just want to have some fun with it, ya know?

The problem I'm running into is simple -- I can't find much for a 4 door accord. As for performance upgrades, I want to do the following:

Add upper and lower rear stabilizer bars
Add an upper front stabilizer bar
Lower the car 1.5-2 inches max(just a bit, not too much)
Wouldn't mind adding a chip to it to optimize performance.

As for right now, those are the only two performance upgrades I wanna do. I have no idea what's available and I can't seem to find anything on my own. The visual things I wanna do are simple too --

Add a skirt around the entire bottom, very similar to the Honda Performance Package on the coupes.
Add a low-profile spoiler, matching body color, maybe 2-3 inches off the deck lid(might just get a factory spoiler for that)

I'm not into the way some of these guys upgrade Hondas -- I'm sure we've all heard the term rice burner before -- I want it to have some class. No gaudy wings, no ridiculously aggressive grills and air intakes. Something classy, sporty, something that actually looks a bit unique. It isn't a Ferrari, ya know?

Okay gents, any ideas where I could find parts like this?

 

Hey man i got an 03 accord lx 2.4 that im lloking to chip but idk what chip to buy so if you have any knowledge please let me know

 

Sell car, buy V6 Accord. Good way to drop over 1 second off your 1/4 mile time.

 

modding an '03 Accord for anything other than looks is

 

Based on...your opinion? There are those that think modifying a car's looks is and there are still others that reach 250 whp with bolt-ons on 7th gen accords...

 

Uncle,

Where might one find the kit which puts out 250whp?

TIA,
G

 

Right now my accord has a AEM CAI, DC Exhaust, and DC Headers and its a 4dr 7th gen and im pushing like 260 hp..and its a nice looking car, I only have a k24 in it i dont need the v6 to get power...

 

More like 160 hp. Sorry, but intake, exhaust and header is not going to give you over 100 WHP. Switching to a car with an engine with 80 more hp, and modding that, however, will.

 

There's no "kit." It's really not that difficult, just takes a bit of $$$.

custom 3" exhaust - 4-500
xlr8 j-pipe - 450
rv6 precat delete - 300 (unless you need/prefer cats, they make high flow cats for 550)
AEM V2 intake - 300
UR crank pulley - 200

All of these mods should put a healthy 7th gen V6 damn close to 250whp. There are some intake manifold spacers, gaskets, polished runners etc. that I don't know much about, but they are generally found to be helpful as well. Several guys at v6p.com have achieved 250 whp with basically the mods I listed.
