Just wanted to tell u guys how weight seriously effects the performace of the cd5 accord (exi), just me riding in the car it pulls impressivly well, but boy, today tugging along with a full load of passangers and the air on full made my little accord feel severly under powered, i knew the extra weight would blunt the preformace but, seriosuly, felt like there was a 1.4 litre under the bonnet


lol another story, same situation car and boot were full + full air con...was going up an extremly steep hill/winding road...it was victoria pass for those of you's nsw blue mountains way, anyway..trying to maintain an even speed of 60k's had to keep the little accord reving at over or near 4.1k rpm, was probably in 2nd gear (its an auto)...i wonder if the vti(s) with vtec would work better

What would you expect from a full loaded torqueless car with aircond on?

that's why you don't buy an accord unless it's a v6 :)

carby engine yeah?

By simply having your engine running at 100% it will go much better,without mods.

an uncomfortable ride? (: im just glad it can undergo so much stress and not overheat or breakdown, although it's impeccably maintained by me so that makes a difference
