Engine Performance. - 7/13/2008 12:28:26 PM    tthom34   Posts: 3 Joined: 7/13/2008 Status: offline So I own a 1999 Honda Accord LX 2.3, 4 cylinder, and I make quite a bit of extra cash and was wondering how to go about making modifications to my engine. What should I add in order to achieve a faster acceleration? Post #: 1

The answers are gonna be all over the place because we dont know if your budget is a couple hundred or several thousands. Do you plan on racing under the rules of any particular sanctioning body?  You better study the rules carefully as you plan what to do. _____________________________ '03 Accord & '07 Civic '01 Saab 9³ & '05 9²x (in reply to importedminds) Post #: 6

RE: Engine Performance. - 7/16/2008 5:17:37 PM    tthom34   Posts: 3 Joined: 7/13/2008 Status: offline Thank you but I did infact state that I was looking to put quite a bit of my extra cash into this, my mistake on clarity. Although you say i need to plan, yet how can I plan if I do not know what I need to carry out spefic goals I wish to accomplish. Isn''t that the point of the forum? so more educated individuals in this field such as yourself can teach and help me plan? (in reply to JimBlake) Post #: 15
