Well put, you've really cut to the chase there and hit the nail on the head.
The Accord Euro is never going to be about straight line acceleration and modifying it is more about enjoying the process of improving and enhancing it, not substantially changing the underlying character of the car.

I still cant believe that the semi auto if shifted by itself doesnt make the car go faster!!! thats what i had expected when i bought the car. I really should have gona for that olibertty gt.
You still dont get it do you ? ok fair enough you stuck with a car ur parents brought you. My parents brouught me a lancer as well brand new and guess what it was Auto. Did i modify it > yes i did to a certain extent Hi-tech exahust and extractors, and a uni filter panel. got 16inch mags. Was going to put a body kit Evo style, turbo charge it put a mivec engine in it and so until i came to my sensors, whatever i do it won't come close to a turbo car from factory, eg WRX, 200sx etc.Quote:

So when i was shopping for a car of my OWN i promised myself no auto cause they suck slow crap shitty things no driver enjoyment, i love my driving as most here do.
I did lots of research into what i wanted, which was something fast from day one, most popular choice and bang for you bucks was and still is a WRX, didn't care what people say about too many around and all that stuff, it was what i wanted my own money, i do what i like with it.
After owning one for 14months and spending nearly 10g on mods i decided to sell it as it was getting a bit to expensive, i now have other priorties like house and stuff, so i have downgraded to a Jazz but with two incomes coming in i will either get a Euro, or a STI , or EVO a few years down the track but only drive it not modify it.
So after all my crap i have said, When you earn you own money you will make wiser decisions and not silly ones or ones influenced by your parents cause it not your money so they tell you what to get, some other people are lucky and parents get them what they want STI manual or EVO, BMW M3.
So if i was you, i would give up trying to make you EURO faster cause #1 you have stated you have no money #2 your a student. Two things that can make you Euro go faster Get more money or get a job , or ask you parents again.
I guess ill just have to play the waiting game and be patient. Im sure after all the time of waiting i would be able to buy a car and enjoy it to the max seeing i am gona wait for one to buy for a long time.

Be thankful you even have a car, your parents work hard to give you an easier life, think of all those that have to catch the bus and carry all there books, or drive in a old car that breaks down and they have to fix it all the time.
He's right you know...why don't you have a good think about it, I think you'll make less stupid decisions that you will regret in the long run if you do that. If your a student, do what most students do, find some part time work to pay off the mods.. like I have one friend who worked his butt off for a mth during his vac and bought some mods for his skyline. All that I am saying is that you need to calm down some and think...You've got the car already, if you sell it you lose big on first year dpreciation, and its a pretty good car too...Quote:

You might even negotiate with your parents to trade in your car for a new car if your so inclined....just get something cheaper, get rid of the euro get a skyline... but seriously, I think you should drive some more before you start thinking about going fast, a fresh P plater going on about mods the way you are is just the type I'd expect to see pull some stupid shit on the road. No offence tho...
I have so many things I want to say to this Faiz guy but I'll restrain myself and just say get a life.
Ok .. I think he gets it now.. Anyway let's not get this into a flame war..
Anyway, Faiz, we're all here advising you on your intention to mod the Euro...
To sum it up.. Suggest that you save some cash first since you mentioned your financial situation.. Practice driving more during this time.. Your dad gave u the car, auto it may be.. Heck.. Luxurious car dude :) If you want to modify it, do so after you save some cash and then whack the basic mods in... Bear in Mind, you won't get far with an auto but it will still be good enough to whack some Falcodores on the road..
Maybe like u said, think long term, drive the Euro and ya know, when you start working and saved enough, sell it for another faster car of your choice :)
Tip Number 1 : Changing the Exhaust and the Filter as a start will benefit alot. It makes the car breathe easier and fart easier... From there, you can then go further as your cash flow goes.
CHEERS
start learning to drive before you start learning to drive fast faiz. people like you who think that they are cool because they drive a car which goes fast end up killing themselves because of one thing- usually not because of their car don't have enough safety features, but because their skill level doesn't match the car's level. every one of us started not knowing how to drive at a point in time.
if i was your dad i would buy you a 1975 corolla for your first car. cheap, easy to repair, no technology to rely on. if you think you can rely on technology to save your ass- you can't. it only hides the truth of the danger of driving from you up to a certain point where it all lets go- and that is why so many people crash, because they start off driving a new car like you and never learn how to actually drive one properly. i have seen numerous newbies turn corners for example, and instead of turning their steering wheel gradually to produce a turn with less lateral g force, they drive right up to it almost till they are past it and then turn the steering wheel like they're cranking a old motor up. try doing that in an old car.
and if you bend it you can get another 40 or so corollas for the same price as a euro. ha ha
hehe... yeah! Just spend your money on a decent stereo system and cruize. No need to go fast. VIP style man!
