You seem like a nice enough idiot, so I'm gonna lay some truth on you. You want to go faster, fix any issues with your engine to reclaim horses lost to the sands of time, and reduce the weight of your car. Take out whatever's in there that you don't absolutely need. The things you mentioned will not help.

Now clearly I need to go to bed because anyone not in an overly sleep deprived state would be justified in telling you to fuck right off.

I hear that alot but what is a tuneup? just sparkplugs new fuel injectors and oil or what. I dont want to dump too much money into this car, its just my college car. might keep it since gas is so expensive though.

>>4621760
i kinda thought that getting an intake or exhaust would make up the lost power because people like to mod hondas so much. i don't haul much in my car though. just me ,my backpack, and my old bike which isn't that heavy i dont think.

CAIs don't help. Air intakes are well thought out by manufacturers. And aftermarket intakes usually use K&N or similar filters, which long term make your car weaker by scoring the rings and costing compression.

Of these two, an exhaust will help more, but even still, it won't be much, and it will be louder.

Neither is worth it, get a good tuneup at a nice shop, have the engine gone through, it will be better than any mawd of an equivalent price both in terms of power and increasing the longevity of the vehicle.

Don't be a 'tard, be smart with your money. We're being nice because you seem reasonable but slightly misguided, not herpa-derpa worship fast and furious.

Oil/Filter Change, Air Filter Change (at best drill holes in the airbox or something, there's probably something on this online, just look it up), change the manual transmission fluid (leave alone if automatic), new O2 Sensors, PCV Valve, Distributor Cap/Rotor, Fuel Filter, a bottle of decent fuel injector cleaner (some people don't think it works, it helped on my shitty old daily driver minivan when I dumped a bottle of clear gold Gumout), New Sparkplugs/Wires, Check Timing, Clean battery/new terminals and scrub or clean the grounds, Change Brake Fluid (check pads/rotors, I recommend Valvoline Synpower), Check Radiator to see if its clogged or crusty (change with Genuine Honda Coolant), and maaaaybe change power steering fluid with genuine Honda fluid. Also do Timing Belt/Water pump if you haven't.

Congrats, a few hundred in preventive maintenance, a weekends worth of work, and now you have a brand new Accord for the next 200k miles.

cool, i was avoiding the tuneup thing because i think it would be too much money but i will at least ask a mechanic and see how much and what they can do.

Thanks /o/. polite sage because i think this was a good second or third opinion and i got more than i was expecting.

Also have the suspension checked out well. Already have a friend who swore off Accords after he had a CD5 break a balljoint at 60mph on the Grand Central Parkway. Nothing better than going past your wheel. Redo the bushings if you want to refresh the suspension and make it feel like a brand new car again. 90s Hondas are good tier for handling, double wishbone suspension all around and visibility like a goddamn F16.

I lol'd

They certainly aren't bad for DD, certainly better than any Toyota I've driven. Drove an '85 Civic once, it was like a go-kart with doors. Would never classify it as "god-tier" though... I think "above mediocrity tier" is more accurate.

So are you saying it doesn't work? Explain how. I know from personal experience it does work on SOME cars, and it could very well be the case on his, just like removing the resonator on a airbox or on LS1 F-Bodys, getting a new airbox lid.

I'm sorry not all of us can get FDs for $4k and then spend the difference on $400 ARC Induction Boxes and other stupid bullshit.

Either way OP, you're better off lurking on a HONDA ACCORD WEBSITE and not 4CHAN if you expect decent automotive advice. I suggest CB7Tuner. Not to mention, if you REALLY want a stupid cone air filter they're cheap, though they are pointless and increase the risk of hydrolock in a rain storm (water entering engine and locking it up).

By everything you don't absolutely need, I mean, like, seats, door cards, head liner, carpets, radio, heater/AC (those things are heavy), etc. Glass is heavy, get rid of it. Spare tire? Spare me the weight, more like. (You have permission to say that as you remove it, and laugh loudly to yourself.) Make sure to take out the jack and tire iron, too. Fuck being prepared for a flat, start being prepared for a marginal increase in acceleration, you speed demon you. Also, only take as much fuel as you need to get to the next gas station. Heavy cars are slower and get worse fuel economy, so you'll probably save money in the long run.

Being fast isn't just a hobby, OP. Much like Three Wolf Moon, it is a way of life. And I need to know that you're ready to commit.

when he means 90's hondas he really means 88-00 civics with double wishbone front suspensions, they're pretty good, the rear needs a cantilever setup for sull benefit.

they handle much beter than half of these bullshit toyotas with mcpherson struts and shitty ball joints.

not to mention toyota has a handful of nice motors

non of which were avalible in america save the 2jzgte

If you want to get onto the freeway faster, the last thing you need to do is slap an intake/exhaust on there that robs what little midrange power it has. Just do some basic maintenence on the car; that will do more than any "mod" could do outside of putting another motor in that thing.

Makes sense. I'm guessing they saw mine and just stole it thinking it was a riced out 96 EX Coupe :\...on thanksgiving at my uncle's house a couple of miles away. Probably brought their own computer and everything, thinking I didn't just have a junkyard turbo setup lol.

I guess I'll have to rep that Dodge Caravan Moms Minivan mad hard at local meets, still don't like not popping hoods because I like to do it every time before I drive (check fluids, old habit from driving shitty cars) and honestly my area isn't really bad but still.

>>4621946
Well I kinda meant all Hondas with double wishbone suspension. Weren't the Prelude/Accord good even though their weight (3000lbs)? And I'm sure the Integra was good, though straight up I've only driven Civics and Accords.

cheap turbo water lines:

Brass fittings from home depot, Flexable stainless steel toilet plumming

cut the 2 ends off the premade hose, stick your fittings into the hose and hose clamp the brass fittings in .

don't do it with oil since the oil destroys the rubber

just use typical oil safe oil lines from nappa un braided meant for hooking up oil gun (for fast oil changes) in shops

its like 3.99/foot
