Cause then you would have the same car as everyone else with a 993 or an M3 and what is the fun in that?

And because with all I have in my car, plus the cost of the car itself, I am still under $10k total investment.

i just think that having a rarer car might be worth more than owning a modded accord that is hardly worth anything if you tried to sell it...... unless you stripped it piece by piece and sold it that way

Worth is defined by the owner. I will never sell my Accord just because it has been just about the largest project I have ever undertaken, and I am not done yet. With the work I have done, I would hate to sell it and have some jackass screw it up, or beat it to death, or god knows what else. Besides, I realize now it is worth less because of the mods, but when it is all said and done, maybe someday it will be worth something to someone. "Barrett-Jackson Auction 2035- A '94 Accord equipped with modifications popular in the time sold for a staggering $150,000. You never know what will become a collectible." Hee, hee, hee, hee, snort.

Yeah man, I don't know why people don't believe fast na accords exist either.
Its like when I tell people that my Accord runs 16's, their common reaction is "You got to be joking!!!"
Why is it so hard to belie...wait a second...oooooh now I get it :fawk:

BTW, nice car bro.

Oh yeah, what is (are) some good tracks to visit while I'm there?

Thanks
I would love to meet you. Just let me know when you are out and we can hook up.

Southwest International Raceway is here in Tucson, Firebird International Racway is just outside of Phoenix.

I also own a tricked out 911. I will tell you that both my Accord and the 911 are very fun to drive. Both cars handle, accelerate, and brake impressively, but fitting 4 people in the 911 isn't practical at all. I have only spent about half of what a new M3 costs and can run them down without any issues. I still have nice things about my Accord (since it is still functional as a family car) except for the nice German leather interior.... Oh yeah (the Mystique that comes with being an M3 owner). Getting back to the 911... I get respect (and a lot of thumbs up) from people when they see the car on the street. I get an occassional BMW or Mercedes SMG owner who wants to see the Porsche tail lights... (European car owners street race also) As far as my Accord.... Well everyone wants to race it from domestic, to european, and every Ricer around. It must be the paint job. most people expect the Porsche to be fast, as it is in its heritage, but nobody expects an Accord to be fast.

Your car really looks like crap. I've seen your car in the sportcompact mag last year though. Your engine bay is pretty nice. I have tons of respect for you running a 13.2 all motor in a damn accord. That is just damn badass! Just badass. Much respect for that.
