Question novice experience

I am an 18 yr old server with money saved up and a hobby for suppin' up my 1994 Honda Accord Ex. I have alreadly installed an OBX cat-back exhaust, K&N Typhoon Intake, Forza tuning strut bar, Suspention Technique Sway bars(front and rear), Purple Vtec valve cover, OBX 10.3mm spark plug wires, Tenzo R 12" slotted/cross-drilled rotors and I am about to purchase and install a complete MSD ignition system (Mod. Dist. cap, blaster coil and hopefully ignition box). Can anyone give me ideas on "high bang-for-your-buck" upgrades?!?

Re: novice experience

The MSD ignition is a waste on a stock engine, Stock honda ingnition system are actually strong. The best bang for the buck is suspension - quality springs & struts or true coilovers.

Re: novice experience

What about all of these computer gismos that say add 25 hp for 25 dollars? Are they all hoaxes...?

Plus, coilovers were my next project immediatly following the ignition system so what else can I do for horsepower?

A properly used Nitrous kit will not require much more maintenance than a vehicle without one. Any vehicle with performance mods is going to require more maintanance than a stock vehicle. Just run it right and you should be fine.
