Hi All

Just hoping to learn more and interact with you guys. Picking up a '04 Accord Coupe 6 speed Wednesday. Buying it in Cleveland Ohio (former 1 owner SC car) and driving home to Northern Virginia Wednesday.I'm sure I will have some questions in the future, and hopefully I can help as well. I also have a 99 Tahoe two-door 4WD, lowered, and a few custom touches, and a 2003 Harley Davidson Fat Boy. Been a gearhead all my life (55 now) but new to the imports basically. So if I can help in other areas, please post!

John,

Welcome to the family... IF that car is in good shape, you're gunna love the888'8s out of it!

Enjoy!

[align=left]I am already loving it. Picked it up yesterday in Cleveland, and drove it 390 miles to the Washington DC area. Got an excellent deal on the car, and other than a "repaired" seat bottom and only the valet key... VERY happy. Drove basically 70-75 mph all the way, 6 hours, and got 30.5 mpg.It has an AEM intake, and a Magnaflow exhaust... makes a little more noise than I care for, but I will get to it sooner or later. Picked up the programmed master key today, so that is off the small list of to-do's.[/align]

Nice.. .yeah those sidewinder keys aren't cheap - that's for sure!

Nice mileage, and yeah the magnaflow is a bit loud for my taste but it's apparently a good buy either way.

Mind if I ask your purchase price (ballpark?).

I'm considering mine to upgrade to a v6 and wanna see what kind of markup people do for their mods, and since i have some nice mods i'd like to get my money's worth.

Can we also see some pics? And also is it i4 or v6?

Have fun!

Hello welcome to the club, hope to see some pics soon

RE: Newbie here
 

Yeah, the Magnaflow is a little to "buzzy" for my taste too.

I paid $13,700 for mine, pretty much everything but Nav and fogs, but bought a new set (factory) from ebay for a good price as well as a rear lip-style spoiler. Those will go on the car when it warms up a bit.

If the weather holds out, I will try to get some pics up and work on all the signature things...

Yes, the car is a V6, and being an old american car hotrodder, I am quite impressed with that Vtec power, it starts to scream around 4500rpm [align=left] [/align]
