Its a DX, so it doesnt have a lot of things, including ABS. Which is good IMO, I hate ABS.

Drift you need to boost that H to kick some serious ***. I'm simply amazed at what these Accords can do with a bit of power, but in most scenarios we simply don't have enough pull.
Id rather build it all motor. I feel like Hondas should always be all motor, I guess Im a purest. Id love to do a sleeve job, 12.5:1 compression, P&P head with a some skunk2 cams and drive train. But Ive priced it all out and it would roughly be about $5k. I simply dont have the cash to do that. Also, Ive been having dreams about a k series hybrid from a couple years now.
More power would be great. But I need a few things for the chassis too. Like a roll cage to stiffen everything up. Before the wheel would lift, I could feel the chassis flex pretty dramatically. I could also use some camber adjustments all around, some 3 way adjustable suspension, a clutch-type diff, maybe an h2b conversion. It all adds up way too fast.

Sick pics dude.
Have you thought about downsizing your wheels to 15". You'd be surprised on how much power your loosing trying to spin those wheels, even with your H22. You'd be better off going with a 225/50R15 or 205/50R15.
What brake fluid are you using also? ATE, RBF or SRF?

I have, but Id want 15x9's, and those are harder to come by in good FWD offsets. Especially for 4x114.3.
Im using Motul RBF brake fluid. If I do any more events, Im going to try to grab some Hawk HT-10 pads. The Yellow stuff pads are pretty much smoked at this point.

Your using Yellow Stuff... wow. I find the EBC pads are garbage. I did one day on then and switched to Hawk HP+ and I haven't really had that much problems with year or fade.
15x9 will be hard to fit if your keeping the car street. Our Chief instructor runs 275s on 7 inch wheels because of the class he is in for Solo.
Are you fighting for grip that much? How much camber are you running in the front. Try increasing it

A Honda motor is a good air pump regardless of N/A or turbo designation. I've seen people make lots of power with Skunk 2 pro 1 on boosted applications, significantly higher than non Honda motors/factory boosted ones etc. Expensive...definitely. If you build all motor make sure you keep the same quality throughout, I think you should use some top notch coatings like Honda does.
Does it still help to have lots of camber on our cars? I mean, we do have double wishbone, I thought it gives max contact patch regardless?
Ive tried Hawk HP+ pads and hated them. I had Hawk HT-10s on my Galant VR4 track car and was glad to have a 5 point harness, those things bite hard. I would have had the steering wheel in my mouth if I hadnt been strapped in. But they are twice the cost of the Yellow stuff pads too.
I cant run more than 255s in street class. Time attack rules are really dumb. And Im running stock camber because I refuse to pay $350 for a front camber kit. Ive seen a few on ebay for $50, but Ive learned my eaby lesson long ago. I dont feel comfortable running at the track with ebay suspension products.
Im just a purest. Hondas shouldnt have turbos on them. My friend Matt (the tuner at www.dentsport.com) disagrees. But he is bias because he had a 400whp turbo integra. Im not building my motor. If it blows up, Im dropping my emissions passing f23a5 back in and selling the car.
Under hard cornering more front camber helps to rotate the car. Especially with wide sticky tires. For the street, more negative camber simply costs you tires.
And all motors are air pumps, regardless of their manufacturer.
