Hey guys, I'm just going to stick my first post up here. Its freezing cold here in central iowa but man i cant wait for the weather to warm up so i can enhance my car with a few small mods! I'll hopefully be posting all my questions in the correct threads, and I believe the HAF community will be able to help me as i learn all about my lil accord.

thanks and we'll be seeing you ;0

Welcome! It's not real warm in Ohio either.
The 2003 I had was a 4-door LX but I liked it. Engine is much refined over earlier Accord 4-cyl engines.

ahhh, i see you sold your 03. thats sad but you must move on haha. How are those civics treating you? i feel as if they are a little more forgiving for a modder as civics have more aftermarket products correct?

Daughter's drive the Civics & they're not interested in mods. They're interested in not buying much gasoline. But I think they have signs that say HIT ME 'cause lately they have had lots of anonymous fender benders. College campus parking.... sucks.

We had the chance to replace the 2003 Accord with a 2009 Saab 9.3
Mine is the 2005 Saab which is a re-badged WRX.

I cant blame them for not wanting to spend much on gas. It's an issue i'd love to be rid of myself hahaha. And i dont know how much snow you get in ohio, but here we've had quite a few storms pass by and its causing quite a few problems. I've banged up my front bumper to the point of needing a replacement... can you say excuse for an aftermarket kit?

I would take that beautiful Saab anyday. It looks like a great car and i'm sure it drives well with those turbos inside. you drivin on a 4 or 6 cyl?

The new one is 4-cyl 2.0 turbo.
It's my wife's car, but I get to drive it - whenever the gas tank is empty.
