I have this saved in Word and it was just easier to copy and paste rather than cut all the misc. stuff out so just kinda forget most of the non-motor crap. I've changed my mind like 8 times in the past year about what I want to do to my Accord but I think I've came to my final decision and this is it....

Background Info: Already have DC header, Magnaflow exhaust, aem cai, 16in wheels w/ kuhmo tires that i plan to sell. Car is 98 coupe, auto. Color: black currant pearl.

I have the hood coming in like the next week or so - its a VIS Invader Style for 98 coupe - plus the other stuff for it coming as xmas gifts.

 

100 bucks says that list will change. Sounds like a wish list to me. Everyone I know have done things one at a time. In the end youll know why.

 

No doubt it might change......most of it isn't a wish list though. I like to do things different. N/A vs. Turbo in my case. I plan on taking it step by step and making sure everything is done right the first time. I'm really detail oriented about things like this.

 

My advice is to sell your car and buy a prelude.

Your car will still be slow with all those mods, tranny swap etc. Its just not worth it.

Why a 2 stage nitrous setup? Watch F&F too many times?

There is nothing "different" about going NA. But you arent going NA if you have nitrous on your list.


I get the impression that you are new to this, do some more research and you'll see you are missing alot of details and are more in to the "image" of performance than actually building a real performance car.

 

Ill match that $100 and raise you $100. THis is a nice list for a show car. R u trying to look good or go fast? Its easier to go one way or the other at first. If you wanna go fast skip teh lights and what not. The 98 accord starts at 150 HP (I believe) and if it was manual in the first place it would be easier. I agree with the buying of a prelude or even try to find a 94-95 accord w/a h22 swap. YOur going to kill yourself on $ you dont need to spend. Sell the car and Buy something that you can work on from the get-go. having to change the trans and everything is expensive and time consuming You should start with a good powerplant and transmission and go from there. ANyway i guess good luck with your decision

did i see neon somewhere in that list?

aside from sheer entertainment, this Accord forum is becoming more useless by the second.....

 

man how come everyone puts down the acccord so much...if he wants to do it then we should support him...and ive seen way to many posts saying to jus give up on the accord and buy another car... shoot, if u drive a car and think u fast, go race a bike...there's always gonna be someone or something faster...even a lot of the accord owners put down the accord, if u dont have hope in your car then its never gonna be fast...im sure way b4 the whole honda thing, all the muscle guys were shoving those same words down the throats of us import guys..."sell the import trash and get a PUSH ROD..." its the same BULL all over...import on import HATE!!!...im sure the accord has its own braggin rights....jus cuz u got a fast car to start with dont mean u the shizz...ur actually pathetic build ur own fast car

 

its not a matter of putting down accords, it all boils down to practicality and MONEY

 

i would sell it, buy the time you get bored with it and ready to sell in a few years your going to have something only you will find appealing or some 16 year old who will probaly not have enough money to buy it anyway.. Take my advice, there is always a fater, nicer car car out there ,Dont waste your time or money with mods. In the end youll end up losing both in money and in racing.Be happy you have a sweet ride as it is. Or I could be wrong.Do what you want.
