What would you do if you had $10k to spend on the performance of your car?

[gloryaccordy]

I would never dump that much into a CB, with the BB1 chassis available.

I'd prob still do a light build though, for a daily driver.

Powertrain/Drivetrain
F22A6
H23 IM
H22 pistons (did anyone find out if the blocks can handle an 2mm overbore?)
Bisi Stg 1 cam
2.5" straight exhaust w/OEM style muffler
8# flywheel/OEM clutch
M2B4 LSD trans w/4.07 FD (if possible)

Suspension
Koni Yellow Supercup kit, Sport springs
Progress rear sway
BB1 VTEC front knuckles w/brakes
Brembo Blanks + Hawk HPS pads all around

Chassis
Underbody cross brace
Front & rear 3/4pt strut bars

Interior/Audio
Black Acura Vigor seats
Mild audio setup (in dash touchscreen HU, amped 6.5" comps & midbasses)

Exterior
DA9-R ABS lip
TSX retro

10K though, honestly I'd rather just get a high mileage TSX

Automatic? Lulz.

it would be the 5speed automatic tranny. better known as a paddle shift tranny.

A semi-automatic transmission (also known as clutchless manual transmission, automated manual transmission, flappy-paddle gearbox, or paddle shift gearbox) is a system which uses electronic sensors, processors and actuators to execute gear shifts on the command of the driver.

buy a better car. lol

probably a nice Porsche 944 turbo.

or, a bb1/4 with a H23vtec bluetop..boosted.
or, a 97 del sol and swap a K20.

Not to mention the advanced modern systems shift faster than any human could anyway, and most models boast faster trap times compared to their manual transmission counterparts.

It wouldnt suck in traffic, either

Give me back your man card, I'm only asking once.

Car enthusiasts savor a manual transmission, regardless to traffic or not. Besides, you want a performance car or do you want a commuter car?

Thank you!

-J32A2
-6 speed CL-S transmission with LSD
-CL-S ECU
-full engine harness
-innovative motor mounts, 85A
-shifter linkages

That should about cover it.

Why a j32a2? Why not a J37 from the 2011 TL?

I wouldn't try speaking for all "car enthusiasts" if I were you lol. While I in general agree (manual for me all day) many of the best enthusiasts, racers, and car magazine testers and editors would gladly take the afore mentioned tranny set up. There is a reason ferrari and lambo use such systems and it's their top sellers. Not to mention what they use in race cars.

Secondly, I'm not sure "performance car" and cb should even be used in the same sentence. Let alone the point of those same trannys actually "perform" better than a manual. If anything, that makes it a performance car.

Anyway, like I and some others have said, I'd rather not sink 10k into a cb when there are better chassis to work with, to make a "performance car". I'd keep the cb as that commuter.

Some, however, might prefer a performance based, well handling, fun and easy to drive commuter. More power to them. I'd love to see a cb with an advanced paddle shift system.

I'm not speaking for all enthusiasts, just for myself as an enthusiast.

I don't care how much faster an SMG/paddle shifter setup is around Nurburgring or some other silly magazine test. I know what's more enjoyable for driving.

Also any car can be a performance car, with the right amount of money -- so I think you're the wrong one there.

And lastly, this thread isn't about what people consider the Accord to be as far as I can see in the thread title, it is about what would you do with 10K if you were "performance first" modifying your car.

And I'm saying that the thread was about what you would do for "performance" not "enjoyability". Point is, those trannys perform better, so that guy posting WHAT HE WANTS shouldn't be ragged on. Like I said, it's not what I would do, I agree that manual is they way to go, I wouldn't want to drive a performance car otherwise. But the paddleshift system in my g35s is a beast, and is faster than a manual version any day of the week, and is nice in hour long bumper to bumper Atlanta traffic. Just sayin.

Enjoy it.

Still, in agreement with you, there is a reason I drove my 5 speed prelude on a daily vs the G.

If I had 10K to drop on a build i have a few options i would choose from:

1. Put the CB in the garage and buy a WRX. This would give me a more fun DD and allow me to actually put in the wrench time for the CB. I mean, DD my CB limits the things i can do to my car cause i have to drive it every day. Having a WRX for a DD means my CB can be totally unreliable but fun to drive. Ya know, basically a weekend warrior/dedicated track car. Plus, who doesn't love turbo AWD?

2. Build my CB the way i've wanted to since the day i first saw her almost 5 years ago.
H22
bored 2mm over
95mm forged F22a crank
Sleeved
12:1 Forged pistons
Bisi stage2 cams, cam gears, valve springs, retainers, Header
Maxbore TB
H22 LSD 5spd
Stage 2 Axles
stage 2 clutch
Spoon DC2 twin pot front calipers
(already have vtec/prelude setup and SS lines)
F&F II coilovers
ESP mounts, strut bars, traction bar

yeah i think that's about the 10K point. I know when i priced the engine build it was about 6K.


3.
same engine as above but, Bisi f-to-b converter, use a B series AWD tranny with custom mounts, a ford 9" rear end and have a RWD H24 powered beast. That would be my ultimate build aside from dropping in a SBC350.

[flcb7]

I would leave my cb7 stock then cover it with 10k worth of stickers and be the fastest on the streets yo! bwahahahaha

[drummersteve7]

if I had $10,000 well I'd....








I'd spend it all!

[megarock15]

i would buy a late ninties oddesy slam it to the ground and build a F22ax for boost and kill some mustangs lol
