Hello,
If you had 5 grand to spend what would you do to the Accord? Or would you sell the Accord and start working on something else?

Lets keep in mind im under 18 and I want to keep this on topic with cars.

buy a new motor , mags .. and shit loads of jdm stuff hehe

[WiKKeDV16]

hybrid motor
killer suspension
cosmetic mods.. (paint,lip,some jdm goodies)

[Conspiracy]

I'd say good suspension new motor...possibly hybrid and whatever you think looks good on the outside. Dont blow your money on ugly wheels just because they are JAYDEEEM.

first off, the condition of the car should be presented when asking this question, because if the accord is a total shit box or if in excellent condition that could help a lot with the answering to your question;

if the accord is a shitbox, then i would start by fixing the paint/rust, making sure the body is straight, getting rid of most of the flaws...i would try and fix all the stuff thats wrong with the accord (OEM wise), like if the ball joints, tierods etc needed to be replaced. I would then also check the interior, make sure thats pretty straight, make sure the car can pass inspection and all that. The most important thing that i believe is to make sure that the body is straight before doing most performance modificatinos.

if the accord is in excellent shape then skip this step.

Now, you don't mention whether or not your into performance or looks, but if your going performance wise and have that kind of money, then i would def. go engine swap, (the infamous h22 swap with lsd tranny, all can be found at hmotorsonline.com)..and then i would work on suspension (Omnipowers full-coilover setup about 650-700 found on ebay and other various online stores), and then tires and rims. If you want to go for looks, i would do maybe a new paint job, new rims and tires, sound system, tint, teins (full coilovers shipped off ebay for about 1150), and maybe a body kit and such.

It all depends WHAT YOU want, don't do what other people want you to do, its your hard earned money, so do what you think is right.

I think I'm going to fix the couple of things on the exterior then I'll start to go preformance wise once I get my stero for it.
Thanks guys,
Also is there anyone in the Virginia area that could help me with a engine swap?

why does everyone say this...if you have a car that has more chips/rust/bangs then a 70 year old why jump to an h22.

[T3aM 83rD]

h22 and a shitload maintenance so my car could last. maybe some extras like leather or different color interior and other thing to keep the car looking clean and fast

[Skunk138cb7]

well if it was my accord, i would do the bod work and paint, then suspension and H22, maybe a lip and some red clears

If I had $5,000 to spend I'd buy a '92 or '93 frost white 5-speed Accord EX sedan. Then I'd slam it to the ground with some nice suspension setup, and maybe get some decent looking 17-inch wheels on it. After that I'd probably start saving up for an H23 or H22 swap (dunno which I'd want).

G gs is a lot on money...
Option A:
I say fix the body first. Try and do it yourself or find a friend that can help. It wont be factory but you can save a boatload. Take the car to maaco and have them do a decent paint job on it.
Then go with the f22b dohc motor (loads cheaper than h22) Upgrade the internals maybe do a port polished head, some boring of the tb and intake manifold. Throw a set of 272 regrind cams in there with aem cam gears. And then turbo the bastard (of course putting in solid mounts first) your car will look clean and look stock but you will have a good amount of power. Prolly 250 at the wheel at least, but since you upgraded the internals you could run more boost. Then go to the junkyard and get a saab intercooler (side mounted in the engine bay), not as cool as a big thing up front but only you know its there. You will need to upgrade the fuel system a bit as well as having maybe an air fuel controller and stuff like that. But if you want the sleeper look than thats the way to go.
Option B:
If you want ricer than paint it orange with some black widow kit, drop it to much for the stock setup to handle and slap a big ass apc wing on it. Do not forget of course to color match the interior, but whatever you do do NOT put more than 100 bucks under the hood (apc intake and ebay generic exhaust, and I'll sell you a set of ractive wires for....uhmm 5 cents plus shipping!!)

I vote for option A, damnit I wish I had 5 grand, I barely have 5 bucks!
