so i've been registered on the site for a while but since i havent gotten close to getting my accord i havent bothered to do this. Right now i'm rocking a bone stock 2000 4DR EX w/ leather. It was my mom's car (ironic considering the t-shirt logo) but now its mine. All i'm planning is basic upgrades in appearance and engine. It's my daily and i need it to get me from across the country for summers and what not so no big plans as far as power or appearance. i'll post pics once I get back to school and have a nice backdrop for the car.

Welcome to the site, hope you find all the info you need.

On a side note. Accords have proven for me to be very reliable, this is my third one. With basic mods, you won't loose any reliablilty factor. If you get springs, just don't slam it and get something that rides nice. If i had to drive from cali to NY right now, i'd have no problems taken my car over something stock.

I dont need to slam it, i'm more performance minded than show minded. Not to mention driving a slammed car from Texas to Idaho would suck considerably. I love this car though, i just wish i had more money to do the bulk of my desires for it.
