    new to the forum just wanted some help

    Okay here it goes...Ive owned two honda accords in the last year. the first one was a 1988 honda accord lx 4dr but this won was a POS. I still have it but the timing chain broke so i got another car. After the timing chain broke on my first honda i got another honda accord 1989 lxi 4dr. This one is way better. I love this car. I was just wanting to know where should i start wtih the mods and such, i just really want to make this car the bast i can.

    ah HAHAA, this will be my first post where I can help to guide someone on the basic mods to the car!!!! see i can be useful after all!

    alrighty, for starters most of us get the standard intake, headers, and exhuast done.

    another good plan would be a high flow cat, a reground cam. there are obviously several others, but these are a good starting point.

    oh also the msd and coil can help i belive. i am sure there are plenty bolt ons i overlooked, but those seem to be the main ones before you get into serious work!

    there is REALLY good info in the how/to and FAQ section, i have read those forums many times over!

    IS the stock cat high flow? i am not being a smartass, i really dont know!~

    Have you looked inside yours? I just staired into the inside of mine again not just 6 hours ago. Their ain't no way it can be called high flow, IMHO. My next mod was going to me a high flow cat.
