one more thing, what are the pros/cons of a CAI vs. regular intake? i've heard with a 1st gen CL, short ram intakes are easier to fit? im not too knowledgeable with that stuff and i dont have anything in my car yet but an intake would be a good start i guess. thanks.
Yes, they are. Get an alternator off ebay or just buy new from a good dealership that gives discounted prices like Manchester Honda. To change it, search in the Accord forum. Basically, all you have to do is remove the left fan for access (I think it's the condensor fan, but it might be the radiator) and unplug/unbolt the alternator.
For the J30A1, the short ram intake provides the best power gains, is by far easier to install, and less risky.
