Ok, first off,please if you like muscle still, then.....GTFO lol. and second theres alot of things you can search, search is you frined. if you ask what can you do to your accord, then you aint gonna get alot of help. go to search and type what you wanna do to it bro. BTY what do you want to do with it? Any future mods? and welcome to the site

start with the basic stuff; bolt ons:
Intake, headers and a complete exhaust system.

[ilovemycb7]

What do you want from the Car?

Reliable DD?

"fast" (doubt it, as I'm assuming your muscle cars are always going to be quite a bit quicker)

Good handling?

Lips, foglights, interior stuff?

I mean... you can do anything you want to it. you tell us what you want to do.

Hey just cause you like muscle cars doesn't mean you can't like hondas. My dream is a 71 chevelle ss 454 but i love my CB. just like muscle, hondas see improvement with headers, a better intake, and a wider exhaust. if bolt-ons aren't enough you can go with either a engine swap or rebuild what you have. once again, like muscle cars, boring it out, higher compression, bigger cams, port and polish are the way to go (for NA).

200 RWHP atleast just enough pick up

[ilovemycb7]

200 RWHP atleast just enough pick up

Is that a serious statement?

You know Accords are front wheel drive, right?

200whp could be had by rebuilding your current engine, or swapping in an h22 and doing some work on that. NA I'm saying.

If you want to boost... just boost what you have. You'll hit 200whp.

yes it is possible to bore it out. i have my block .020" (0.5mm) over without new sleeves. i'm pretty sure it can be taken .040" (1mm) but don't bank on my word as i don't know personally.

Welcome to the site

Hopefully you'll find owning an import doesn't always carry with it the Rice stereotypes. If you look through the member rides section you'll get a feel for what mods your looking for.

Your already an auto enthusiast, so I'm sure you know about the bolt on options you can do (header,intake,exhaust). I'd start there and if your looking for a larger project, check into engine swaps.

Have fun

btw: Your Accord doesn't have Vtec. You have a "140"hp single cam motor (F22a6)
