I am currently selling my 95 Accord V6 (I am sure you all know why) and getting a GS-R. It will be daily driven, rain, sleet or snow. This summer I will do the neccesary mods like rims, exhaust , lowered ICE and Security. After I graduate college it will be painted, maybe a nice lip kit and will do nothing but collect dust in my garage during the treacherous Cleveland winters. The plan is for it to run 13's with a full interior and street tires. I know I will not reach this goal until I am finished with school due to lack of funds, but I will be investing "some" money into the engine as i go along. Thier seems to be a million and one paths to tuning a Honda. Which path should I take? Keep in mind that by the time this car is no longer daily driven, it will have well over 100k miles. should i throw on some minor bolt-on parts now and then just save my cash for a rebuild/head work/internal work, etc.? Most likely when I do graduate college I will just by a K series or EVO, but that is not the plan as of now. So what do you you all suggest?

 

I suggest not trying to make firm plans for what you're going to do to the car unless you actually have some way to carry out those plans.

 

yeah im with mrfatbooty just save up some money and try to surf HAN as much as possible, then when you have enough money you will most likely know what to do for your self and not rely on others to give you advice.

 

1 step at a time, my man. trying to do all at once will leave you broke and burnt out.

 

take it from me...i did that - now i'm broke and have nothing to show for it, except my car which is constantly needed repairs.

 

Well then my question is, once I do get the cash to make some serious upgrades, is 120k + miles a bit high for forced induction? I do want to hold on to this car for a long time. It seems that internal work is inevitable. And if i do get a small turbo, what is recommened to uprade on the rest of the engine? Sorry for the noob questions, I am just a bit in the dark. The high mileage is my main concern. I spent a year investing money into a 95 Accord with the V6 engine, which has the aftermarket support of a Legend. I know a B18 is anything but a dead end, I just dont want to spend thousands of dollars and years of building a car to reach the 13 sec. mark when the engine is just going to die on me anyway

 

120k miles may or may not be too much. It really depends on what the actual physical condition of the motor is when you decide to boost it. As long as it passes a compression/leakdown test and every single bit of maintenance has been taken care of, it can probably handle a turbo of some sort.
