Hi Guys! I'm a Honda lover, but not owner... yet....

[rafster]

Well...

Yeah.....

Hi, my name is Rafster and I have a "being without a 6th Gen Accord" problem....

(Now everybody says... "Hi Rafster!!!")


----------------------------------------------------------------------------

OK, now, on a serious note. I love the 6th Gen Accords. These are soooooo for what I want to do. I want to actually put a computer into it...

There have been many people over at http://www.mp3car.com, who have done this with '98-'02 Accord.

My only problem is... I just wanted ome feedback as to which of all 5 years would be the best to get. Which has the least problems, etc........

If someone could help me out, that would be great!

Here's some links to some Car PCs put into 6TH Gen Accords...

HI RAFSTER

I would recommend the last year of the 6th gen (2002?) as it would've had all the quirks ironed out. Make sure to get a manual (the auto boxes are somewhat easy to destroy....u just need to look at em wrong and BOOM!....it's gone...no joke!). Others might have different views & recommendations though.

hi rafster!

welcome man...

i prefer the 98-00 accord 5 spd, but hey, i'm biased

 

[00Accord4cyl]

^^^forget 5 speed AUTOMATIC yo!!! haha

Do you want a coupe or sedan??

 

[angelplus]

Hi Rafster, welcome to the site! I do believe that someone on this site actually has a computer in their car, I forget though, you'd have to search.

 

[6THGEN_AI4]

Hi Rafster I would say get a 5 spd manual 'cause auto tranny has its course.
I hope you get your 6th gen as soon as possible. good luck.

 

[blacknight]

Any 6th gen manual (98-02) and you'll be more than satisfied.
Hell, you'll even be to take some 6th gens V6 Accords with a manual 4 banger

 

[rafster]

Hey guys, thanks for the advice...!

I'm thinking a coupe, but the sedan of course is also hot (sorry for my Paris Hilton lapse there)...

I was really thinkingof the V6 because I love the power, but if you guys think that the Auto is a waste.......

This will probably happen in like 6 months. I hope sooner, but you all kno how life goes...

Well, stock for stock the V6 only has +50 HP and +40Ft. lbs. of torque over teh 4cyl. But it's mated to a 4 speed automatic. If you get the CL-S manual tranny you'll be good to go.

 

[Sketch o5]

the v6 is a waste. it only come with an automatic tranny, and they ALWAYS die. their are very few people who still have their original trannys. get any year, 98-02, of an accord, but make sure its a 4 cylinder 5 speed. you will have absolutely no drivetrain problems with one of those. im actually gonna collect parts next year for my 4 banger to swap it to a manual, cuz my autos starting to go im pretty sure. and deff get a sedan, theyre the hot sh!t haha. good luck with the computer stuff. ive seen an accord once with the computer in it, deff sick.
