Here's pretty much the rundown on it: http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2575609 I have the look that I am going for other than some taillights and maybe lowering it a bit, and possibly a simple body kit (If one exists), and a mesh grille, ok now I'm just rambling... But now I'm thinking about performace mods. I was wondering if anyone has any opinions on where to start? I was thinking of maybe a Magnaflow exhaust system because my tips are looking pretty rusty. Or a cold air intake? Or some high performace brakes with those pretty cross-drilled rotors? (I have crappy brakes now) Thoughts, Comments? < Message edited by CoryTheStory -- 4/12/2007 9:24:18 PM > _____________________________ 2000 Accord V6 Coupe, Black Leather Interior Tinted Windows 18" American Racing Wheels, Nexen Tires Black Housing Headlights/Taillights Pioneer In-Dash DVD http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2575609 Post #: 1

After that it depends on what you want the car to be N/A or Forced Induction. You could aslo Swap the engine. Dont forget about the transmition, a lightweight flywheel helps with response and acceleration, cam gears further help that process. Getting a piggy back ECU or an entirely new one can also free up alot of HP. You could always send your engine away to get the Port Polished, titanium lift spring, the works. If you need websites dont be afraid to ask. The rims look great and the deck looks sweet, gonna be doing that to my baby in a few weeks.

I'm concerned about just the overall performance of my car now and all the engine and everything are stock. It just doesn't seem like it is running as good as it could be. Shouldn't I make sure that everything is in good running order before I start spending all this money on performance mods? I recently took my car to the dealership for some odd problems I had trying to start it but they couldn't pinpoint the problem. Plus, shoudn't I have some good brakes before any performance mods? (not that I'll be flying around racing and stuff but it just seems like that would be agood idea) (in reply to Fenix) Post #: 3

I would def. get all the maintence done before mods.  If you get mods, then need a major repair and dont have the moeny, they'll youll run into trouble.  This summer, im gettin my car in top shape before doing more to it _____________________________ Scopin out my old turf......
