I recently got bored of my stock Accord and decided after driving it for three years that I should do something to make it more exciting. I bought, modified, and intalled an APC short ram intake from walmart. Then I bought and installed a Pacesetter adjustable shifter from NOPI.com. Finally I bought a set of silver 16X7 Proline wheels from PepBoys, attached them with a set of spline/key Ralleye lugs and bought some 205/45 Ventus HR-II for my driving pleasure. So far I love everything I have put on my car and it is a huge improvement from its stock 160k mi. form.

you know, i never liked those rims when i saw them just by themselves or actually on any other cars. but damn, the 3gee makes them look good. that was a good thing you did there with the rims, makes the car looks very clean and fresh. do you notice a nice difference with shorter throw and more firmness in the shift? good going man.

The next thing I plan on doing is replacing my plugs and coil. The wires are fairly new 7mm silicone KEM so I think they will do for a while yet.
Actually I plan on replacing the rest of my exhaust as soon as the many rust bubbles pop through. The one in front of the muffler did while I was 45 minutes away from my house and I had to drive all the way home mufflerless and then the next day too since I had to work in the morning, wow was that annoying.

The shifter...Since I couldn't lower the exhaust w/o snapping all of the bolts holding it on I had to only loosen the heat shield and work around that in my face on top of the Cat, so if you don't have alot of patience, I wouldn't recommend installing one. Other than that it wasn't a bad install. I defineatly notice shorter shifts but it really isn't any firmer since I still have the stock stabilizer bushings which are very worn out. Once I get the poly units to replace the rubber I am sure it will be alot better though. But either way if I could do it again and only had the money for the shifter, it would still be a worth while purchase.

Thanks for all the comments!

Rims set the car off really nicely... mind me asking what kind of fog lights you have in there, they look like they fit really nicely, and i've been looking for some yellow ones.

Please PM me the info.
