so i have decided (with my wifes permission) to start fixing up my 96 accord ex sedan, so i want to start with performance parts. i dont know what the best thing to start with would be.. its my first project car and it will be my daily driver till we get our new car here soon, but i want to start while im kinda young. should i get an air intake? and if so should i start out with the AEM short ram air intake, save a little more and get the cold air, or just go all out with the duel chamber? thanks in advance for the advice.

 

-If you want power id go with a motor swap being that its a usdm accord there not to famous for having a fast motor as we all know. lol

-If you want reliability id leave everything ALONE

-If you really dont want to get to the honda scene but want a fun lil honda then throw on your full exhaust and cold air intake. Dont cheap out on the exhaust but the cold air intake you really only need a cold air scource and a filter and tube no need in buying a 250$ aem one.

 

Suspension, exhaust, turbocharge it.

 

I want to engine swap but i would like to buy a decent vtec engine and rebuild it but for now i just wanna have a fun little honda to mess around with. so since i am planning on buying an engine should i go big on the intake or no? i can get a aem cold air for about 205 on amazon or something cheep from the company or the v2 intake i just dont know.

 

You bought the wrong car if you're trying to get performance out of it. Especially with just standard bolt-ons.

 

I would trade the car.
