This is the 3rd 3rd gen accord I've owned- the 2nd LXi 5 speed.

What is the best bang for the buck HP adder??????????????

Engine is totally stock- with 137k miles- and I do NOT want to do nitrous on it... yet... :D:smokin:

IMO, a reground camshaft is a real good bang for your buck. Check out the colt cams groupbuy in the marketplace for any info on this :)

I'd do intake and exhaust before the cam.

me too... but if you have 500 bucks, get a header, intake, exhaust and a cam

Header, exhaust, and cold air intake! Open the engine up and let it breathe.

If you let it breath it will thank you in the end. My car has a sweet purr to it now (V8 sounding purr)

where might one find these types of parts???? It doesn't seem like an easy feat to find upgrade stuff for this particular vehicle...

Thanks guys for your replies, I do appreciate it!

a 91 - 95 civic intake will work, just have to cut the length down a bit. Then just take it to an exhaust shop ang get 2 1/4 piping or 2 1/2 if ya want, from the cat back.
Start with that, you'll notice a big diff

Go to the "How To" section on the cold air intake and follow
instructions pretty straight foward.
