Car Forum / Honda Cars / August 2004POLL: What wouild you do to hop up a 2004 Accord 6 spd?
Just bought my Accord coupe 6spd 240hp. I read somewhere that this car has a few obscure features that gives it slightly more hp than the auto/4-dr. Anyway, I was wondering what, based on your knowledge of Honda V6's, what would be the first add-on to the car to increase power without draining my wallet. The Altimas have slightly better quarter mile performance, and I don't want to be embarrassed by one next time at the strip. Thanks. _________________________________ "Take a little 5FU, leucovorin and oxaliplatin for thy stomach's sake." -- 1 Timothy 5:23 (adapted) Not trying to slag ya here bud... but why would you be worried about 1/4mile times with an Accord? You'll have to watch out more for the '05 hybrid Accords more than the Altima's... > Just bought my Accord coupe 6spd 240hp.

Racing in a Honda is like running in the special olympics... even if you win youre still retarted! > Just bought my Accord coupe 6spd 240hp.

George, I take offense in that remark. I am a keynote speaker of two Special Olympics and a former Special Olympics athlete myself, over 23 years ago. The coaches and athletes who participate actually inspire us all. I challenge you to get up in front of 7,000 people and motivate them for 20 minutes, and also volunteer countless hours to helping others smile and feel good about themselves. There is no better feeling in the world.

If you didn't want to get beat by a Altima, you should have bought one of those. Somebody will always have a faster car. Big deal. >> Just bought my Accord coupe 6spd 240hp.

Big deal. Well, duh! What kinda logic is that? Maybe I can't afford a Viper and maybe the Altima comes only in a 4-dr model which I despise. Maybe I like the way 240 hp can be squeezed out of just 3.0L. Well of course somebody will always have a faster car... if we followed your reasoning there would be no Summit, no Jeggs _________________________________ "Take a little 5FU, leucovorin and oxaliplatin for thy stomach's sake." -- 1 Timothy 5:23 (adapted) > >So what, if you want a car that no one can beat get a Viper or > >something (although they're crap).

I can't afford a Viper at this point in my life either, but I wouldn't buy one if I could. I also couldn't bring myself to buy a 4 door car, that's why I bought an Accord 6 speed. For the record, yes, 240HP out of 3.0L. The Nissan is 0.5L more, BUT, has slightly more HP and more torque. > Well of course somebody will always have a faster car... if we > followed your reasoning there would be no Summit, no Jeggs If we all followed my reasoning, I guess no one would need Summit or Jeggs either. I think buying stuff from those magazines and modifying old muscle cars is cool. Modifying a new car is just dumb unless it's very subtle and doesn't void your warranty. I HATE it when punks put spoilers, big exaust, or even light covers on their cars. However I'm not saying this is what your doing. so why is it 'cool' to modify old cars and not new ones? because you dont like it? nice explaination, personally i dislike muscle cars, too old and too heavy to do anything other then a straight line. How many people do you see lurking their groups saying its stupid to restore and modify a junkyard classic? please click unsubsribe now > > >So what, if you want a car that no one can beat get a Viper or > > >something (although they're crap).

"Oooh, look at my modified Neon, it is so cool and I can pass everyone on the interstate". Or how about the big spoilers that look like they just came from a sheet-metal shop. I love the tailpipes that are 2 or 3 times larger than the engine pistons are, and make that nice Rice-boy sound. Yeah, that's really cool. > like it? nice explaination, personally i dislike muscle cars, too old and I don't like them either and would never buy or restore one. > too heavy to do anything other then a straight line.

I don't advise you to make any major changes to your car or engine as long as it is under warranty. All car companies including Honda don't really like to be the ones to pay for major repairs to your car. For that reason, they have a list of reasons to keep from repairing your car if it breaks down. One of the reasons is a customer that has made various major changes to the engine and related parts. On the other hand, if you want to race your Honda and you choice to take full responsibility for all repairs, I advise you to visit any bookstore and order the following book: "Honda and Acura Performance Handbook" by Mike Ancas published by Motorbooks International www.motorbooks.com phone 1-800-826-6600 also visit www.accordperformance.com  SignatureNEWSGROUP SUBSCRIBERS CREED We respect those subscribers that ask for advice or provide advice. We do NOT respect the subscribers that enjoy criticizing people. Which of the above three groups are you a member of?? I don't think the coupe has more horses. However it is 140 lbs lighter and has a manual tranny so it out runs the 4 door. As for quarter mile times....that depends on the driver when cars are so close in specs. Car And Driver did give the Accord a slight edge in those Q/T times. Accord 14.5 sec @ 98 mph Altima 14.8sec @ 96mph The other thing is the Altima has torque steer BIG TIME!! The thing tries to haul itself off the road when you stomp the gas from a stand still. > Just bought my Accord coupe 6spd 240hp.

Who cares? You people are a bunch of idiots. If you want a race car, buy a race car. If you want a passenger car, buy a passenger car. The bottom line is that to get any substantial, noticeable increase in performance, it will cost you lots of dollars in the aftermarket world. It's actually cheaper in most cases to buy factory horsepower (and as somebody else mentioned - to maintain the warranty). 1/4 mile times with Accords vs Altima's, who are you trying to kid??? > Just bought my Accord coupe 6spd 240hp.

Not true.Installing a cold air intake on a RSX-S gave 20 more HP and more torque,according to Honda Tuning Mazazine's dyno tests.(two different brands of CAI,both had comparable results)Less expensive short rams had lower power gains. When I installed a $60USD Bomz CAI on my Integra GSR,I got a VERY noticeable power increase. And it's not hard to make your own cold air intake,either. And there's a long history of auto enthusiasts modifying their cars for more power,better handling,better stopping,improving safety at the same time. It's just another hobby. What in the world are you doing on this NG if you're not interested in such things? SignatureJim Yanik jyanik-at-kua.net Yeeeeesss! Everyone can afford a race car !!!! (Sarcasm ON) You are the idiot. Some people like get the best performance out of their vehicles no matter what it is or how significant the increase is. I think its great when people want to learn more about their cars and not just use them as appliances. You must have some interest in cars or you would not be reading the posts. So don't bash people that have something in common with you. > Noyhing actually. Who cares? You people are a bunch of idiots. If you > want a race car, buy a race car.
