What mod can i do for cheap?

[kahsperr]

I was wondering what can i do by hand to my 86 accord that cost little to nuthing..what i mean by this is, are there anythings i can do like adjustments or whatever that can make my car look better...such as clearing the lights myself or changing sumthing minor that makes a big difference....if someone can give me sum ideas that would be helpful,,,thanx

[maka_RTH]

advance your timing, clear your tails(or paint them red), gutter gaurd in the front grills, car wash, plugs/wires/cap/rotor, build yourself an intake, if you're carbed flip the lid, as far as BIG difference, that takes a little more money...

[LX-i prophet]

recline your seat...... :D

[hoho1217]

=D car wash is the best =D

[LX-i prophet]

naw, mines better. mines free ! :D

[hoho1217]

LOL, hey i've just did that mod to my car, haha it feels very comfy =D

[LX-i prophet]

also , another free mod, change the intesity of your dash lights. chicks dig it

[hoho1217]

LOL, or u can set the clock to wrong time to "trick" ur friends, lol

86 means carb most likely.....so u can spend 45 bucks to by a K&N filter---there really great, ad a few hp and are reusible. you just wash em in a sink and use this bottle of stuff that comes with it. worth it.

[3G Jester]

fancy boy!! wow..sounds ass kickin. take some pics and direction :rolleyes: i think im diggin ur n00b ideas :D

[rare_89lxi_coupe]

yeah, i'm with sticker guy- apc stickers add a good 15 horse each-oh and some tire flys and leds on your washer fluid squiters- maybe even a chrome tip with a light ring around it. if you want to go all out on CHEAP mods, i'd go for all of the above.
*this entire paragraph was a joke, please do not take the "rice advice" seriously-not even for one second.* wait untill you have money, then do your mods right. don't risk the rice look-it's too painful.

[3G Jester]

DOOD. 89accordnate has a +30 hp sticker. Also....

if its been a while since your emitions.....gut your cat. or get an old one..gut that one. and swtich em when ever u need to do emitions. that way u save on a high flow cat..and if u can weld....then well...u got a high(er) flow exhaust.

Yea when I do all my mods I take my time and do them right. Example: http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid43/p492de2ba89ebfc4b3bec21d5fd872ef4/fce67b3d.jpg .......that tach took over 100 hours to build and install, but you won't see any wires and it looks profesional, I had to go to power mirrors to do that I wish I had a pic of the door mounting.

[LX-i prophet]

i admire the amount of work that went into that "Tim" but the whole skull thing? naw.......

[3G Jester]

im still trying tofigure out what and where the skull is...:huh:

[maka_RTH]

Oh come on now, you know fast cars have always had skulls in them, like the one on the shifter in armegeddon, the one with the light up eyes? Thats what this does it's a shift light. I would put a shift knob like that but I'm too attached to my old race car shifter knob. I made the skull too out of resin.

[Tim Yoak]

Just for the record that whole mounting post is made out of aluminum, I spent weeks designing it so in an accident it would break away if you hit it, yet still not shake. I went to the power mirrors because I needed a flat mounting spot for the tach. When you close the door it sits right beside the instrument cluster. I thought I would maby get an ordinary shift light and then I thought how about a skull one? that would be cool as hell. A lot of people want to know where I bought it and then I tell them it's homemade they all want one, Too much work to be commercial.

[BLck89accord]

LOL....how could u not see the skull????....he he...j/k man.

R© Ok, well the point is you don't have to spend a lot of money to make it look good, just a lot of time and effort. It's the details that matter.:tongue:

i know it was a shift light, but i admire you MADE it out of resin, that musta taken some time, even with a mold i woulda fucked it up. so did you wire like 2 LEDS to the eys, or is it just a cover?
and i wasnt dissin on the skull, its just not for me. good stuff though, no doubt

I added a sytem, degreased the engine, tune-up, reset the ecu, washed and waxed, shampooed carpets and cleaned leather and made all the interior lights in my car blue with blue electrical tape, even the seatbelt warning lights. Total cost....... @ $40. bucks.

I'll have to find the thread on honda-tech but we went through an entire argument over my car.It is an 89 LX-i coupe and it's got leather interior (hence my name- RARE...) since I am a female, the guys completely degraded me and told me I didn't know what I drive so I posted my VIN and told them to run the damn thing through car fax and I posted pics, and sure enough...

[rare_89lxi_coupe]

Alright, it's http://www.honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=370885
At first, it was about the tranny in my car and then one guy started all the crap about my interior and it got ugly. LOL. I'm jules_89lxi_coupe on there by the way.
