mod ur car and u will become hondas bich for the next 3 years :)
my advice, DONT TOUCH THE CAR, if ur really bored just get a CAI for induction noise and put it back to stock when u sell the car.

More power but retain warranty 100%? Hard one. You could remove the spare wheel and tools, save yourself 15kg (keep a can of tyre inflator) lol. Hondata reflash is an option but I don't believe dealers will not be able to spot it upon driving the car. Mechanics are not complete idiots - they can tell when a car responds differently to others especially when they get Euros in for service every day.

change an air intake and header .. u should feel a little bit more power, and it costs less than $1k :)

[stephen8512]

possibly cold air intake/whiteline RSB/koni yellow/eibach springs
but all that is around 1.5-2K

this will lower ur car, (replacing shock and springs) and give it the intake growl when u punch the pedal at WOT

[sebatron]

springs increase power? :D

it's an accord euro. pimp it up - if you wanted a fast car, an s2k or a dc5r would've made more sense.

Search is your answer.....

Modifications ranging from el cheapo to high end bling bling prices have been talked about it here...

A reflash would be the go if hondatech get their shite together.

more power, shoulda bought a supra

cant pull much power out of the euro unless you go forced induction

the money you'll likely spend, you might as well buy a full race track car only.

[euro77]

how much is it you're talking when you say "without spending too much money"? some people say $5K is not much, some say $1K.

Anyway, like the people already says, make the car lighter (won't cost you a thing as you'll only taking out stuffs, except if you replace parts of the car with carbon fibre), change air filter, and/or go with CAI. also, fill with 98 ron fuel (although the increase would probably be so little you won't notice).

[Stambo]

btw the mods your talking about will it void warranty? lol if so ill just leave the car standard

[sports06]

CAI wont void yuor new car warrenty, all that will happen is if there is a problem with the car as a direct result of the mod that part wont be covered... same goes with exhaust and most mods

[aaronng]

If you have any engine problems, the dealer will blame your cai for sure. Do you want to risk it?
BTW, an air intake alone gives very little gain. It is all noise.

Power (no particular order):

1. Intake
2. Header &/Cat
3. Exhaust
4. ECU reflash
5. Pulleys

Handling (no particular order):

1. Coilovers
2. Strut bars and lower tie bars
3. Rear sway bar

He could use my secret method which I share now with the entire world as my car is almost out of warranty - get the Icebox and at every service put back in the OEM filter and OEM lid (takes about 5 min). Without removing the entire bumper it is difficult to spot any difference during routine service. Engine note inside the cabin is slightly different but only a pro would be able to tell. You will definately notice the difference in response with the icebox. As for whether it is little or a big gain - it is definately not big but it is something.

i personally have the INJEN cold air intake, though the K&N is another good one.
they all do the same thing. INJEN and K&N provide a louder growl at WOT whereas something like the comptech icebox isnt as noisy as it was meant to be more inconspicuous since it looks stock and all.
those prices i obtained while researching various sites for euro/TSX parts and from forums etc.

[aaronng]

*Hugs my intake* Power and sound.. ahhhh.. the best of both worlds.

[BiLL|z0r]
