Wow

This is my third car, it's my second Honda. I used to drive an EG8, then an E46 BMW and now my amazing CG1 which I named "White Falcon" haha. The car has been in my family since new and I love it!

Make: Honda
Model: Accord
Year: 2000
Trim: EX V6
Engine: J30A1
Color: Taffeta White/Ivory
Miles: 135,XXX
Name: White Falcon

Here's my mods so far:

Engine / Performance:
-EBC Greenstuff Brake Pads all around
-NGK V-Power Spark Plugs
-K&N high-flow air filter

Suspension:
-None

Interior / ICE:
-2 MTX 12" subs with a Rockford Fosgate 300W Punch amp (closed box w/airports)
-iPod Radio Transmitter
-Matching Ivory Colored Steering Wheel Cover

Cosmetic:
-HID 6000k Lowbeams
-DIY Blackhoused Head lights
-OEM Spoiler
-OEM Gold Package
-OEM Splashguards (F&R)


Future:

Neuspeed Strut Bar
Tein Type Basic Coilovers
Dynamat
New Tires

I had the car repainted Taffeta White (original color), all the dents removed and a new windshield installed June 2010.

I also figured out the problem with my wipers. It was the plastic joints on one of the arms in the wiper linkage! Wipers work like a champ after replacing the arm (~$20 fix).
Here's a link to the write-up I made for the wipers: http://www.6thgenaccord.com/forums/showthread.php?t=31988

Re: New here, ideas please!

welcome man, and wow. you're car has almost every factory upgrade. lol. Imo, first thing major that you should do is suspension and you should also black house your headlights. An intake will also make that engine roar.

Re: New here, ideas please!

Thanks for the input guys! I'm interested in suspension work. Any recommendations?

I just now realized I posted in the wrong place and used the wrong format.. :/

My bad! It wont happen again.

Re: New here, ideas please!

Coil-overs is the answer! They will get you low and riding nice - when it's time for snow, you can raise the car easily again without changing any parts. If any, just have the alignment done so you don't wear out tires and drive all over the road.

BTW: WELCOME!

Thanks all! Great advice on the coil overs. I think I'll shop around. I'm really pumped to get started. Now all I need is some $$$.
