So your point is that everyone in this forum that mods their Accords are fools. Also, you are calling Chio's civic that will slaughter your CL a POS and Shadow's accord that will eat your CL alive a POS, among many others. Not only are you being VERY disrespectful to people that you have asked for advice, you are sounding like a pompus POS yourself!


Sorry Angelo, my tongue has way too many bite marks for another.

This process will also improve yourgas mileage as well.There ya go... If you plan on building a N/A Accord for the track, street, or whatever else, this extra HP can be helpful. And hey, if your planning to race somebody soon, justtake some stuff out and keep your gas tank at 1/4 or less, and you'll have even better chances of winning...
I don't think the OP was suggesting it for getting girls or for a dd. Some of us can't afford cl's. I wanted to get a car that I could pay cash for and have fairly low insurance. At this point in my life i'm just too po' to afford a cl let alone double the insurance costs. Thanks for reminding me of how poor I am

I guess since I have a POS car with no resale value i'll have to run it into the ground and use the money I will save and put towards something better and faster in the future. Eh, maybe not I gotta keep saving for a house. As for now I'll do a slight weight redox to make my car feel a bit faster and keep pretending my car is a tl-s b/c I have a sway bar and strut bar from it. lol


Seriously though. Did you have a bad day or something? Is it really necessary to put us down for trying to make do with what we have?

instead of making my car a pos that one could not even sell for a decent amt when you are ready to get rid of it, I would start with a FASTER CAR.............saving up for something faster up front = way less hassle of trying to make it faster because you are not happy with it.

gutting a car is like watching a bunch of retards trying tomake love toa door ****.........it serves nopurpose.....hey look at me I got a gutted out car that cannot even beat a guy on a bicycle......... but hey to each their own.
Your argument is completely ignorant and pointless. If everyone that wanted a faster car, started with a faster car, there wouldn't be any variety in what we all drive. Please think before you type.

Back to the weightloss topic for now...

A friend of mine was working ona bicycle for a guy I had never met. It was areally nicebike, a Klein. It had all Super-Record components, even had meticulously drilled a series of holes in the chainrings for lightening. Mounted the rear brake underneath the seatstays for less aero drag. It must have weighed about 12 pounds with the water bottle full.

Then one day I met the guy. He was about 40 pounds overweight...
