Default Basic of Making my Accord go Faster

Hello HAF community,

I'm new here and to be honest new at cars. I love everything about cars but I have a stock 2004 Honda Accord EX (4 Cyl.) and its not very fast or fun to drive, haha. I was hoping someone could help explain to me some ways to make it faster, such as what things to buy and how to install them. Hopefully not too much money but I understand these car parts can add up real quick.

Thanks!

Sorry to say, and contrary to the various X-Box games and such, there really isn't much you can do which will do anything to improve the power of your car without getting into large dollars, and even then, only if your car has a manual transmission. The cruel fact is, if you want a faster car, it will be far cheaper (in both the short and long run) to sell your car and buy something faster.

Suspension & tire upgrades might make it more "fun" without getting so fast you attract those guys with the flashing lights??
