According808's Speedy Silver Accord 02' Sedan

Hey, Im new to these forums, Just wanted to get my car out there and get some advice from like minded individuals.

Engine / Performance: Cold Air Intake,4-2-1 Steel and Ceramic Headers, 10.2 mm Spark-plug Wires, NGK Iridium IX Spark Plugs, Top Rear Strut Bar, Titanium Header Wrap, Full Cat-Back Exhaust

Suspension: Adjustable Coilover Suspension,

Interior / ICE: Rockford Fosgate Punch Series 12in Sub, 1100w Amp, 4 tweeters, Alpine Type R speakers, 4400 WATT Capacitor, Leather Seat Covers, Momo Pedals,

Cosmetic: Taillights, Headlights,Front lip, Rims, Type R decal and badge, hood scoop,

Future Plans: Before I decide to put alot more money into this car, I wanted to do a Manual Swap, I am running an automatic with 140k just about, Starting to slip a bit. I know my cars not an ideal project car being it started as an automatic FWD, SOHC non-VTECH, But It was my first real decent car, And there is an attachment. I also love the 6th gen accord body style I think it has plenty of potential. I know my car will never be a race car and its not trying to be, I just want a sweet looking car that can haul some *** too, My Goal's to reach at-least 200hp with a manual tranny I'll be happy,

Please feel free to give me some feedback or advice, or ask me any questions,
Im looking to learn as much as I can, I did all the mods on my car myself never once took it to the shop so if anyone is looking to do similar mods I can give you some tips.

And Finally The Pictures!







No Hood scoop Pic for all you Hood Haters!

This is before all the mods, All stock except for rims.


The Sound Setup, 1100w monoblock amp, 4400w capacitor, Rockford Fosgate 12in Sub, Hits super hard,

While assembling the new Cat-back Exhaust and Headers, complete in less then 3 hours.

While assembling the Cold Air Intake, Luckily ive taken off the front fender many times so it went like butter.

My no name coils whooptie dooo


Will Update as time goes on....

Plz take that hood scoop off!!!! Welcome.

Ive actually been meaning to, Just been lazy, its just a stick on, so no harm done! thanks for input

I just wonder why everyone's gotta hate on my hood scoop!

Good,ill look better without it and use the search function as much as you can. A lot of info can be found there

Take off the hood scoop, headlights, tail lights, and the type R decal. Why exactly is that on there? It's an upper strut tower bar, not whatever you said. I find it hard to believe that you have 4 tweeters, and why exactly would you ever need a 4400 capacitor? Adjustable coilovers? Yeah, car looks pretty low. Steel AND ceramic header? Right.....

Welcome, anyways.

Kinda sums it up lol. But hey it's your car so do what you please. Welcome and please use the search function!

I personally really like the front headlights not so much the rear ones, but they were a reasonably priced alternative to my old lights which had cracks that would allow water to build up and then fog, especially the rear ones, I kept all my factory parts incase i ever wanted to go back to stock, other then my factory rims which were damaged. About the scoop and the decal I was just trying to give it a more sporty look, I can always remove those. It is actually called a rear upper strut bar as you can have a the lower struts and tie rods towards the front of the car, call it what you want same thing. secondly, why is it hard to believe I have 4 tweeters? I have two in the front tied into my door speakers, and two in the back tied into my rear speakers, makes sense to me and sounds good. why use a 4400w capacitor? because when you buy a capacitor say I bought one that was 1 farad or 1000w which is not even enough to power my amp, The labels aren't accurate, they give you the high end, so it preforms at less then 4400w, Other then that why wouldn't I want to have more power at the ready? and use less battery power, I even noticed a slight improvement in my cars overall performance using a decent capacitor dont quote me on that though.

And yes there is such a thing as steel headers that have a interior ceramic coating, In doubt? look it up, DC sports sells for around $300 Best of both worlds strenth of steel cooling potential of ceramic yet not the britlness

Adjustable coil-overs, I guess pretty much all are adjustable so you i dont get the confusion, mine have a little special wrench that I can adjust them with after jacking up my car and reliving pressure. Why doesn't it look low? because Its only lowered 1/2 in, I don't wanna strain my struts till i get aftermarket struts,

Questions? I am indeed a newbie but im not an idiot lol

I do appreciate the input guys, even if it's negative please let me know, I wont be put down, Im just trying to improve

- Those dont give it a sporty look, it makes you a tool.

- That entire statement is incorrect.

- It's hard to believe because most people would not do that, if you did then props to you.

- The capacitor, a little much for an average system, but its your money man.

- That would be called a ceramic coated header, not steel and ceramic.

- I'm more or less asking what brand they are, and why it looks like you don't have any.

- I believe you are an idiot.

I'm not even going to hate, but this is as rice as it can be.

Hood scoop = some sort of FI or pushing serious power.
Ebay Halo = 1990's
Type R badges while it is a VP/DX model.
Fartcan
No name coilover?

Decal doesn't make a car sporty w/ unnecessary accessories.

You also have to realize it isn't all about watts.

Im sure my Jl 13w7 with my Alpine PDX 1.1000 monoblock will push put louder than your whole system

Other than that, welcome to tge forum.

Edit: Please don't tell me those are some garden/garage home depot lip....
