And what are some other ways to go about doing this on a budget? This isn't just for my knowledge, but burnrubber's as well, not to mention others who are trying to figure this out and stumble across this thread.
basic maintenance is the best way to improve performance.
- keep your tires inflated properly
- change your sparkplugs and wires at the suggested intervals
- run a fuel injector cleaner once every 6K
assuming that's been done ...
A CF hood will shed about 50lbs. Make sure to keep that properly knotted down with locks.
Fenders will help too, but the aftermerket fits aren't the best. Also, they don't take impacts too well. They'll shatter on the spot and put most of the hit right on the frame.
If you're truly looking for power, try looking into other cars. The Accord brings much more than speed to the table, but if that's all you're looking for ... you got the wrong car.
