Accord

ive been reading through these and you guys talk about alot of poser stuff
im still looking at cars but if i were to get a honda accord coupe or something in the likes what should i do to it in the line of aftermarket stuff that is not totally stupid in the rest of the worlds eye ie people who know cars, or should i just keep it stock and drive it for what its worth

If you like the car, get it... Simple as that...
And as far as aftermarket goes? Haha, honestly you can do whatever your twisted little mind tells you to do with it, just don't come in here showing off your t1gh7 sh1t y0...

what should i do to it in the line of aftermarket stuff that is not totally stupid in the rest of the worlds eye

So you're getting a car to impress other people? Hmmm....I thought you're supposed to get a car for yourself :dunno:.


just don't come in here showing off your t1gh7 sh1t y0...

:rofl: but seriously, any car can be made fast. But if you really want a fast car, why start with an accord? If you're looking for decent performance and still a daily driver, then yea the accord is a good choice. Try to plan a little in advance...

lol im getting the car for me,
i do want something that can be a daily driver but is still quick and i want to add on to my car and im wondering how far i should go adding on to my car that doesnt turn into a poser rice burner type car

Honest response to your last post... Don't try to "upgrade" your Accord... Please, save yourself the trouble...
Keep the money and save up for a car worth making fast(er)... Accord is just ... not it...

Accord is just fine. Get the V6 model, I/H/E her, maybe some spray. It'll be decently wuick, and perfectly reliable as a daily driver.

Like KiillaKam said, the accord is not something you make into a street racer. I'm not into Hondas, but I dont think there is much (any?) after market support for it. It all depends on what you are looking for and how much $$ your willing to spend.

I'll tell you what I did. I saved up a little over $15k. I was looking at RX7's, 300ZX's, some Supras, I thought maybe even an older RS4 (2.7TT), E36 M3, previous gen Cobra, etc....

Then I realized I don't have a garage. That means I would have to park it on the street, and a few had been stolen or broken into over the past couple years. I wouldn't have a lot of money for after market/repairs (and german cars are crazy expensive to fix, just ask KillaKam) and the car would have to be very dependable as I drive it to school & work. A few of my friends had Maximas. I drove them and was pretty impressed. It came down to this: the maxima is no racer, but it really goes for a 4dr family sedan, its very dependable, on the rare occasion when something does break, its usually cheap to fix, Maximas are stolen, but not nearly as much as others around my neighborhood. I decided to spend 4500 and save for something more serious in the future. If I want there is the Stillen V2 Supercharger kit for my car which, with some other mods puts it around 380bhp.

I know I'm :screwy: to write all that, but the point is, take everything into account, and then make your choice.

and im wondering how far i should go adding on to my car that doesnt turn into a poser rice burner type car

wait, you mean accords aren't rice from the factory already? :eek:

just kidding, if you really want the accord and want that clean image look, get the v-6, rims, drop, tint, no after-market tail lights, you can get away with smoked lights. get HIDs, no fart cans. That, is pretty much a simple clean look.

you kind of sound like me when i first started, i went toyota instead of honda, that's a hint.

what toyota did you go with??

Do you want an accord or do you want a fast car?

Some of the poor kids that work with me, i.e. grew up in the ghetto without a dad and mom worked three jobs waiting to collect her government cheese, some of those guys look at accords and go "dayum son, now that be a car I wantz yo, shiz playa car be balling!"

so if you think an accord is a sweet ride and want one get it!

Now if you want a fast car then be smart and start out with a fast car and make it even faster.
if class and status is what you seek then get a bimmer or a merc or even an Infinity.
Accords are a dime a dozen and you see them everywhere. also with I/H/E and juice they run what? same times as a bone stock Stang GT?

to be honest i really dont really like the accord coupe that much it was just one of my better options and i was wondering if it was a good one.

what do you think about the mazdaspeed6 can you find v6 ones used easily?

ive found many bmw's that were well in my price range and only a couple years old, and still had more power than the accord, but im just afraid of the high cost of repairs

im still researching which car would be the best fit for me, im going to buy one by the end of the summer so i still have some time

To make it a little faster you could just add some run of the mill stuff like induction kit, super chip, performance exhaust system etc.

If you want a really fast car the Rx7, Skyline, and Supra are all good cars.

Forget the accord, get a bug eye WRX....mmm scoooobbsss...

what do you think about the mazdaspeed6 can you find v6 ones used easily?



The mazdaspeed 6 and the V6 mazda 6 are completely different cars, the MS6 will run you about 25g used and 28g new. you can find a mazda 6s which is the V6 at anywhere between 12g-18g used of course depending on the year and milage.

what do you guys think about the mazda 3, not speed, the second trim with 2.3 liters, it that a good option for me as a DD that will still keep up
it only has 154 HP??? isnt that underpowered but it is still a sportscar?

Sportscar? lol....

No.

It'll be a fine car... don't worry about racing with your first car. Just be glad you're not walking.

ive found many bmw's that were well in my price range and only a couple years old, and still had more power than the accord, but im just afraid of the high cost of repairs

You can buy mine for 21k.

Hey Hey no peddling! :lol:

LOL F**K no its not a sportscar i ment its called a sportsedan

im about 10% closer to what car im going to buy as i was when i started so i still have no idea what car i like

however between the two, mazda 3 (the highest trim) and the honda accord coupe what would be the best decision of the two

musashi-sama has a good point, but he's forgetting the fact that you're only 16. Most 16 yr olds with "fast" cars that mommy and daddy bought them usually drives like an ass, acts like an ass, and crashes trees like an ass. No offence to you because i don't even know you, but if you don't mind me asking, what is your situation? still in high school? do you have a job? is mommy and daddy loaded? etc etc.....

between the mazda and accord, it's a hard choice for me to decide. You're talking about the mazda mx-3? hatchback? if so, i believe they also had a v6 option. Meh, i'd get the mazda if it's running strong, low mileage and nothing wrong with it.

oh, and i went toyota corolla.

Just get a SRT-4 and leave it at that...
They shouldn't be too expensive nowdays... They're decent as a DD, fairly fast stock, and can be made to impress...

Just get a SRT-4 and leave it at that...

LOL coming from a guy who drives an M3. Yea yea some sure are lucky to drive one of the best cars ever made :rolleyes:.

A neon SRT-4 right

were do i find one i cant find it on autotrader, or am i just a retard haha

It is just an SRT-4. It is not a Neon.

ok cool ill look into it

you guys are doing a great job on this forum with helping myself and others find options they wouldnt have found straight up by themselfs THANX

how old do you want your car...
im only in high- school but i can still help because i do my homework when it comes to cars so jus tell us how old are you willing to go...

i dont really car how old buy my dad doesnt really want anything more than a couple years no more than 03ish

what options can you come up with with that ??

2003+ ? What price range?

2003 and up can be anything under the sun...

i dont know something around 25000 preferably because my parents will "donate" 10k
not too much more than 25k but it could be a little more... you know

your blessed my dad will only contribute up to 5g's but with that you are looking at great possibilities such as:o4 pontiac gto,03wrx(possibly sti),03+ toyota celica,any volkwagon(jetta or golf especially),miata, rx-8,eclipse (any year),civic(parts in abudance, great potential)... thats only a few do any of those choices "tickle your fancy?"

haha year i like them,
in a perfect world i would have the style and performence
+
my dad wants ABS, stability control, front side and curtain airbags
sooo...
something with all those will defently go over well with the donator haha

GTO would rape him on insurance.

true insurence is also an important factor

volkwagons would be great for the stipulations your dad put on you and the wrx is 4 wheel drive and i believe all the cars i listed are equiped with ABS

yeah i was also looking at the RX-8 or seven, they both have all the safety features but they have the rotary engine, is there any cons to one of those

lol i hate looking for cars it is so overwelming

lol i hate looking for cars it is so overwelming
i love looking for cars....
rotary engine are definetly not the greatest when it comes to longevity and they also compare to a lawn mower in the torque feild but i guess it would be a good choice they are very light and have perfect 50/50 weight distribution

yeah i figured that haha, its just there are soo many options

RX-8
VW jetta GLI
Mitsubishi Eclipse
honda accord
mazda 3,6
any amount of cars that are out of production (toyota celica and cars like that that im afraid i will miss)
and any amount of higher end cars that i could find used

i guess my biggest fear is missing a car that i would love

thats the gamble

yeah i hate it haha

so are there any other knockouts that you could add to that list
you dont have to say anything about them if you dont want to just list ANY you can think of so i can at least have a list to start out with

yeah i hate it haha

audi a4,audi s4,s2000,acura tl/tsx/rsx,saab 9-3,bmw 3-series,mitsubishi 3000gt,.....thats my second tier of cars that would be good to buy ,these are a little higher than the first cars i listed .these might strike your interest but if your intertested in domestics im not the person to ask because i hate american cars except for a select few

i love looking for cars....

Just for that comment Im gonna give you an internet smack.

Your comment falls under what the crowd says, "rotaries are not good for longevity" That's BS. The reason everyone says that is because of the problems the FD had (1993-1995 in US) And the problems were easily dealt with if you knew what you were doing. My step father had a 86 non-turbo FC and he got well over 200,000 miles out of it. He ended up getting rid of it cause he needed a bigger car cause my brother was born.

And what about the countless number of RX-7's with the 12A motor? (The first gen rx-7) Those are still running, probably stronger than alot of other cars.

Also the RX-8 motor is the strongest and most reliable rotary to date. People are clocking in over 70,000 miles now with no problems and the ones who mod the car can do it fairly easily, there are guys who are running about 400-450 whp with stock internals as a daily driver with no issues.

As long as you do routine maintenance on the car the engine will live for a very long time. But that can be said about any car.

i was jus going off of wat i hear about them and wat i always see in maintenance garages and on the side of the highway .....
everyone i see with one wants to sell it ..........
i would purchase one but i hear they are prone to require excessive maintenance

They don't require extra maintenance, they require different maintenance. It is sort of like when people think that cars with turbo-charged engines aren't reliable. It isn't the cars fault, it is the owner.

are there any other cars that you guys can think of or did the lists that you have provided give the majority of the good ones?

Those people who you see who always have their car in the garage are the people who dont know how to take care of them, they treat them like they are anyother car, they arent. As polygon said, different engine so different maintenance.

true but like i said i only hear negative things about rotarys when it comes lasting a long time

true but like i said i only hear negative things about rotarys when it comes lasting a long time

then you should do some research yourself and come to your own conclusions.

well the dude is only 16 he shouldnt have to deal with that hassle on his first car im 17 and i damn sure wouldnt..

yeah like i said i still have no idea im no closer to getting a RX-8 than getting a beatle
honestly i have done a TON of research on cars and i just want to get as many opinions as i can and look at as many cars as i can to find the best one for me, and these lists you guys are giving are really helping me look at cars i wouldnt have looked at before

o and i forgot to ask what cars you would/wouldn't put a CAI and a catback exaust on that have been listed, mainly

Accord
Mazda 3
RX-8
Jetta GLI
Mitsu. eclipse
Sentra SE-R
Civic si

Personally i like the sound of a deep sounding exaust, not like a jetplane, i think it adds to the car IMO

its too bad that im the only one really contributing anything other than some dunce that suggested you to buy a fuckin' skyline... as for everyone else they seem to be more interested in the reliability of the renesis rx-8 engine

Get off your high horse. This forum has survived without your 17 years of wisdom and I'm willing to bet it will be here long after your a faded memory...

All your offering is what you have heard. Thats just as helpful as the guy that suggested the Skyline, and why is it that he's a dunce for giving his opinion just like everyone else including yourself. I believe that your the dunce and the only thing your doing is chit-chatting online and getting your post count up. Thats it. You offer nothing unless one of us needs pointers on stealing our parents cars. Dipshit!..

I guess thats how you thugs roll in Cincy, huh...Go kill yourself....

haha.. ok ... no offence but can everyone that is yelling at people for being a dunce please prove eachother wrong by giving better adcive otherwise your just wasting time instead of contributing to the thread ... as much as i like a good fight lol

dont get anything that can move faster than the rx-8
get the sentra se-r, the mazda 6 is a good one too

let me tell ya, if i had a vr4 at the age of 16-17 i wouldnt be here right now...and i firmly beleive that..let your first car be something that isnt a slouch but not too fast, something that will hold its value pretty well and thats gonna last you a good while.....thats all you need to be worried about right now

haha.. ok ... no offence but can everyone that is yelling at people for being a dunce please prove eachother wrong by giving better adcive otherwise your just wasting time instead of contributing to the thread ... as much as i like a good fight lol

My advice to you is get something that gets you good gas mileage. If you have 25 grand to spend your options are unlimited. Most of us would have you get what we have. So, I suggest a 03-04 Comp G GTP. It would cost you around 15 grand at the most and with all that money you save you can mod it nicely to beat just about anything you will encounter, but the car would be plenty fast for you until you get a little more time behind the wheel....

Nothing is sweeter than looking into the face of the person that you just beat with your 4-door grocery getter. :smokin:

i guess ill have to kill myself cuz you aint got the balls to do it and the guy mentioned the skyline is a dunce because it is well out of the kid's budget and wat are the chances of it....
i dont think there is a big chance of any skyline owner givin up there car without a fat sack of chips.....
and lastly dont disrespect me dude cuz i didnt disrespect you or anyone else here and i bet you wouldn't say that to any nigga in my hood....
get on topic and help the kid with his question and stop tryin to punk out an adolescent on the internet...and leave the hyundai thing alone....

i agree with this guy to the fullest

^^ well said. since its your first car power is somewhat negligible. "learning" to drive and gaining experience is key right now. Personally i think the Mazda 3 is a great choice ( or the scion tC, if u dont mind driving a girls car haha). 160hp is more than enough for a beginner, fuel efficient and brand new its well under your 25k limit.

yeah my dad and i went to test drive one today and i really liked it, i havent tested an accord coupe (which my dad really likes) yet but we will see

do you think it would be a good choice to get a manual 1st becasue it is a grand cheaper and 2nd to learn how to drive one so i dont have to do it later??

do you think it would be a good choice to get a manual 1st becasue it is a grand cheaper and 2nd to learn how to drive one so i dont have to do it later??

Definitely, Im 22 and got my first manual in January, but I'm happy i did it now than later.

yeah i thought it would be a good idea

im going on vacation tomorrow so everyone if you have any more opinions on anything please continue to post them i may be able to read them but done stop posting just because i stop responding

i suck at making decisions i cant even go to blockbuster without taking forever to find something good so i need all the help i can haha

ill let you guys know how i like the accord when i get back from vactation and im able to test drive it
