my ride
just cleaned my accord after a long drive from atlanta to sarasota.
mods:
AEM CAI
Red H badges and wheel caps to match red subs and other accents.
2X Sony Xplod 12" 1300watt subs
600Watt SOny Xplod 4chn amp.
eventually gonna do h/e, coilover, rims (konig 17"/18" tantrums or something similar) as well as pistons, rods sparks and possibly boost when i get my shit together. just tryin to keep it as stock as possible, with a few little extras. no altezza's or neons here... not even a body kit. i jsut love the stock look of this car.
all mods done myself.
enjoy!

You might wanna do a 5 spd (or sell your car for a 5 speed) before you do all that other stuff besides basic bolt ons so you're not replacing trannies every 20k miles, but it looks nice.

as ive said before, i dont race, never have. i just like working on my car, whatever that may be. im never gonna aim for low 12's or 11's cause thats just not possible in my car. there are several turbo'd autos out there. my dad drives a turbo'd saab 93. with only 38,000 (2300 of which are mine) on the car, anything i do probably wont affect me too much, and about boosting, its probably never gonna happen, and if i do, its gonna be a small turbo, low psi and only for that extra power. i dont like to race, because ill loose. i dont like to loose but i like my car to look nice and to drive well, im just going for performance and fun factor, not speed. besides, diving a 5spd in atlanta traffic or the 25mph roads near my college is stupid. its more of a hastle then anything. i know because ive driven friends cars in traffic, and it sucks hard.

sorry, im having a bad day, i didnt mean to get all deffensive! but yea, as i said, if i boost, it will be purely for my enjoyment on the road. its most likely not gonna happen unless i can piece it together for around $1500 - $1700, and thats pretty unrealistic. most likely ill just go all motor and maybe even do a swap. ill see how it goes.
