Mobs? Whoa, I would stay away from those. They can get violent, and sometimes they even flip cars over and light them on fire and other craziness. Yeah, I would stay away from the mobs if I were you.

Hey, sorry it took a while to reply, huge project came up at work and my internet isn't up at home yet. Now that I'm back to being bored though...
To answer the question regarding mods, my tax return this year is paying for an Apexi dual exhaust and an Erebuni body kit. Then the next 2 years tax returns are being put into my Comptech Supercharger Kit. I'm also going to gradually be adding several other parts over the next couple years: APR Performance strut tower bar, DC Sports headers, either a Fujita or AEM cold air intake with K&N filter, and Suspension Techiniques front and rear sway bars. I'm also considering Tein lowering springs, but the body kit I'm getting might already have a low enough profile that I don't have to get them. I'm going to upgrade my intake manifold too, although I don't know what company has that yet. I also want to do an engine rebuild at somepoint, cranks, connecting rods, pistons, everything else  both to take some miles off and max my performance.
I also understand that a vtech controller might be a good investment.

For the intake manifold I'd probably just try to find a good machine shop and have them clean it up a bit and possibly bore it a tad if possible, have you considered comptech swaybars? not that suspension techniques is bad don't get me wrong but I'm kind of a comptech fan.... even if the profile is low enough I'd go with a sporty spring like H&R OE springs (about $200.00 maybe 1/2" drop) to give it a better handling profile and keep it from bottoming out the body kit if it's that low.... your stock suspension may have to much travel in it for a body kit that's close to the ground.... just something to think about.... and if you're going to turbo or supercharge it I'd just get a hondata controller and that should take care of everything (including the vtech controll)

Ooooh, someone going the supercharger route instead of a turbo... Thats something we dont see much here on the HAF lol. It sounds like you have some nice plans for your Accord, it should turn out really nice.

Thanks for the recommendation on the comptech sway bars, I checked those out, and I think I might go that route instead. I decided on the supercharger after talking to a tuning shop in my area that specializes in Honda's, they told me the supercharger comes with everything it needs in the kit for $3995, and I don't have to do any engine work prior to the supercharger. With a turbo I was told I would have to do some engine work first, as well as any number of other upgrades to make the car turbo-ready.
BTW, sorry if this should be in the technical section.
