Seems like that's what you want. That obviously is not my choice...but sounds more like what you want.

And no...I'm not trying to be sarcasistic, just trying to be honest, helpful and to the point.

Noel spent a lot of time trying to help you understand where everyone is coming from, and you still just want to argue.
Yeah but J, no one wants to understand where I am coming from, right? And I guess thats just okay in your eyes----I could NEVER understand that about people like you and Noel, man....NEVER. I am just making OBSERVATIONS regarding the so-called "perfect" import vehicles and the way they are not so perfect as compared to the domestic bunch; why am I not allowed to voice opinion, as well? Noel is not really trying to help, he is trying to argue----YOU have been offering help and suggestions and opinions; other peeps have been, too...as for what my "choice" is right now, I am stuck with my Accord, but was asking for input on the things I have been considering doing to it to make it easier to live with right now; thats all I was doing----can you focus on this and add any other insight regarding OEM gear and what I have and what I should get/should not get? Can you please consider if you have told me everything that could possibly be added/deleted from the current OEM mods I have?

Acurafanatic told you concisely as possible what should be done to your car waaaaaaaaaaay back on post #2...

I dont see the point of extending this thread any more...

LOL someone should list all the threads created by this guy and maybe get a sense of his thinking behind why he posts...

Sure not everyone can be good, but i've never had 1 problem with any of the ones i've had. Oil changes and tune-ups on time and everyone has made it well over 150k mi. IMO Cavaliers look ghey....the name even sounds ghey. New FACTORY radio? What about aftermarket system? I mean you could get yourself a acura vigor with much more bold styling and a Alpine 8 Speaker DSP (Surround Sound) 6 cd changer STOCK for $3,000 -, and not have a flamboyant looking cavalier with a 4 spkr tape (or single cd) deck. Any Jap car huh? What about the Skyline R34?

Nissan Skyline R34:



Under the Hood
350 horse power 2.6-liter DOHC 24 valve In-Line 6 with Intercooled Twin Turbo (Can be tuned to over 1000 horsepower....1135hp is the highest I've seen)

Handling
The GT-R VSPEC is driven through a complex 4WD system called (ATTESA E-TS Pro) which considers drive and brake forces and precisely distributes torque independently to each of the four wheels to ensure maximum grip in all conditions and at all times! A complex system also controls the steering angle of the rear wheels according to the vehicle's speed and Yaw rate.
The GT-R has one of the highest levels of body stiffness in the world. This contributes to a nice solid ride, and no loss of energy in body flex. The electric powered HICAS system is used to provide direct and impressive response to the drivers steering wheel input. The system's operation is based on the vehicle speed and steering wheel input, this control procedure determines the target vehicle state and the rear wheel steer angle needed to achieve the state that is determined. This provides the ultimate in tracking peformance and control. Once again the GTR sports a full set of Brembo brakes. Brembo braking performance has ben enhanced by changing the brake cooling system for greater anti'fade capability during hard driving. Equipped with 245/40ZR18 Potenz tires developed specifically for the GTR.

Aerodynamics
Has a front diffuser and a carbonfiber rear diffuser to create downforce for regulating the air flow along the car's undersurface, allowing positive use of aerodynamic force for enhanced handling and stability. This improves straight-line direction, especially at high speeds above the 80km mark, and stability during cornering and braking, by producing a force for actively pushing the body down toward the road while maintaining a before-and-after aerodynamic balance. Moreover, since the air flow under the floor is controlled, fluttering noise under the car is also substantially reduced during high-speed travel at speeds above 80km's.

Interior
Features a 5.8" liquid crystal multi-function display at the top of the center console. Seven items are presented in 3 modes. The select menu features in-depth information on the boost, oil temp, front torque, voltage, throttle, injectors, exhaust temperature, and intercooler temperature.
The next mode gives figures on the red zone of the gauge scales, how regularly and how hard you're pushing the vehicle. This can be reset at any stage to allow for online information to be monitored. The final mode, gives the driver an indication of exactly where the vehicle is in the gear ration, and advises the driver of the optimum time to shift up or down.
Monoform bucket sets have been attributed to the interior, but this time the seats have been specicifacly designed for the GT-R. They feature a large shoulder and side support to provide greater lateral support. An anti-theft immobiliser has also been installed, this sytem matches the the internal code to the key code before the vehicle can even be started.

So here is the challenge to any of you...find any sports coupe...or any car for that matter that can compete with this (I don't mean drag racers or F1 (although it could beat some f1s)). If not all the features at least the performance/ tuning ability.

Now if i had that car I'd defin. be "WOOOO WOOOO" :naughty:

Moo,

Yes, I have been saying JUST THAT....that AcuraFanatic had been great in suggesting mods/tips based on my original post; I am just defending myself in all the other posts, not trying to make the post deeper or whatever you consider it; I am taking into consideration AcuraFanatic's suggestions---all of them. If you want to continuously point the dirty end of the stick at me time after time, knock yourself out. I KNOW AcuraFanatic was the one who addressed the topic head on.

IMO, that Skyline looks like ass and I would still rather have a Viper or Vette, sorry.

I was just SAYING that my factory radio NEEDED to be replaced---so-called "Honda Reliability" being questioned here once again. This had nothing to do with getting aftermarket equipment----the factory radio completely BLEW one day.

Thanks, Moo...but I think he was referring to statements I made about my Accord's reliability problems in an earlier post, and how I think most domestic makes just look better in general compared to imports....thats all.

has about as much to do with OEM parts as what school they went to. Turned more into Import vs Domestic....at least it was still about cars tho

That Nissan is an amazing car. You should look into it; it might provide the torque you think the AV6 is missing. :a:
