Default What to do next?

Okay, I have a good start on my 5G.
See my car domain site:
http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/569971
However, I need an affordable way to get some more power to the ground. I am not loaded with cash right now, but I would still like a little more punch. I know nitrous is an option, but I don't want to spend the money on a torque converter to keep the fly wheel in check right now. Do I have any options? I am talking sub-$500 range.

Thanks in advance.

George bush is an idiot but not much wrong with that quote. Very large percentage of US Imports come from CANADA and MEXICO. Which are not overseas. Recently other countries that are over seas are uping there percentage....

Nitrous, in my opinion, requires a torque converter in the tranny. Hence, wet kit is not so cheap.

What brand of corner lenses are those? APC? I have been looking into the all-amber ones and I like the way they look on your car. I have a special edition too. If you are like me you are lovin the car but hating that you didn't look into the engines more before you bought it (doh, rookie accord buyer error). That's the first time I've seen someone paint that valve cover, but I will be the first to admit it looks tight. Hate to say it but if you're looking for speed, you bought the wrong model.

I know you are looking for performance and like to keep the clean look, but I noticed that TYC finally came out with their projectors for the 5th gen. I think they look tight. They look much more like VW/Audi projectors than the TYC's for the 6th gen cars. Don't get me wrong, I would ever buy a piece of shit VW.

I am not necessarily looking for speed, just a little more under my foot to spin around some corners with. The corner lenses are all over Ebay. Just type in JDM corners and you will find them.
