Hello, again! Got an eBay intake. So far, that's the only "mod" I've got on at the moment. However, I've seen a HUGE difference in how it performs.

To reiterate, I'm rolling a '96 Accord Coupe, Stock Automatic w/ an eBay short ram.

What else do you guys think it needs? I'd like to put an exhaust on, but for now, I think I'm pretty good where I'm at.

 

Depends on what you are going for.
Better handling, start replacing the sway bar bushings and endlink bushings as they are most likely worn out. But tires are the largest factor in handling.

Better acceleration, Accord transmissions MT/AT are geared pretty tall for that highway cruising gas sipping life style. Use a Prelude or Ody trans for better acceleration, it really compliments the B1 power band. But you will loose a few MPGs as the lower gearing has the engine revving a bit higher. It is always nice to be able to roll into the throttle and walk away.

Brakes, replace the brake fluid with a quality brand. I prefer Castrol LMA/Synthetic DOT 4. Gives a healthy pedal. Most chain store brake fluids are spongy even when new. Check brake hoses for swelling, damage, cracks. If using cheap chain store pads replace with something that has bite. But if the tires are cheap with no grip, you will only flat spot them.

Better aerodynamics, try blocking off a few grille spots or add an air dam extension. I've been goofing with blocking off the upper hood grille. It could be my imagination but the car just seems so much quieter at speed. Until I do a few more back to back fill-ups, it will be hard to say if it improved(reduced) drag and increases MPGs.
