Drain all the oil out of your motor. Drive around for a while.
While you wait for the tow truck, think about why street racing is a bad idea.

No offense....but if you can't even spell vtec I highly doubt you are actually going to make this a "race car"

If you were, in general, the first thing to do would to be gut the interior and stiffen the chassis with various parts including some sort of roll cage. Next, you would need to upgrade the motor/suspension to take the added stress and abuse of racing.

Don't drive an Accord. Now before all you come in here flaming, I was and always will be an "Accord guy". But it took me years to come to the realization that the Accord simply isn't meant to be "fast". You can make it "faster", but by my standards, it was far from "fast".

Now, to diverge from the above d-bags not offering any help of any sort. To make it fast, turbo. But then you have to make it handle safely at speed, suspension+tires. And then there's the whole stopping thing, brakes. But making the car "fast", should be the VERY last thing you worry about. Get everything else in order before you try to put power through it or you'll wind up around a tree or smoking on the side of the road.

I'm not saying anything here to try and offend you. But if you want to play, you have to pay. Pick only 2: Fast, Reliable, Cheap

And lastly.... USE THE F'ING SEARCH BUTTON!!!

But look at that accord.

There are always exceptions to the rule. But I highly doubt that a kid wanting to turn his Accord into a "race-car", and asking what he needs to do, lacks the expertise to complete a build like that. And someone with the coin for it, wouldn't be asking around on HT.

Spend your money elsewhere like on looks and reliability......street racing is illegal (not trying to sound like a dork or a dick) its played out seriously and can cause a serious disaster and or death of an innocent person. Just dont do it is all i got to say.......slam it,drive it,customize it and enjoy it,even h22 it but please dont street race or speed real bad .....keep it on the tracks bro and have fun with it
