Suggestions - 3k to spend on euro performance

**jgerr000** · 12-11-2008 02:41 PM

This is my first post.

I've read a lot of other posts with the mods you guys have done to your euro's. I've set aside $3,000 to spend on making my stock 2005 auto Accord Euro Lux faster.

What should I get done and where (I'm in Sydney)?!?

I guess first up is whether you want more power or better handling...

Once you figure that out there are plenty of ppl who will give ideas and costs involved.

Power!!!!

TODA headers.

$3k, cause AUD sucks donkeys balls.
But cause of AUD being low --> no point on modding atm.

Depending on if you want power or handling.
If you want power you can start with an intake system e.g SRI or CAI or ICEBOX,
no $$ mod --> removal of the resonator, and feed a CAI pipe to it.

Handling - Whiteline Rear Swaybar.

Oh I should also have asked why for each suggestion in the original post? TODA headers sound cool it don't mean much to me!

TODA headers or any headers (TODA top end) - helps extract the exhaust fumes quicker from the exhaust but by changing that it's recommended to change the CAT which restricts air flow.

Intake increase fresh air flow into the head which depending on which system can increase torque and response in high or low end power.

just lower the damn thing on a set of buddyclub N+ n whoop a cold air intake in it. If you spend 3k on a toda header ull rip your own penis off cause when the dollar was up people were playing 2k for the header n cat.

If you did get Toda headers which are top end as people say....would it be a waste to get cheaper intake and exhaust for example comptech stuff?

Or will it be better to get top end gear for all parts?

3K can get you;

A nice set of TODA headers (Adrian @ Toda Racing here will be able to help you out)
A nice cat back system from Fujitsubo, Tanabe, Skunk2 etc etc
A CAI, SRI or hybrid from K&N, Injen, Comptech or Fujita (Whatever it's called)

And you probably won't have change left after all these....

im pretty sure all that would cost way more than 3k. the fujitsubo alone costs 1.7k at the moment.

comptech is considered midrange but i guess it doesnt matter too much what intake or exhaust you have as they both don't give you many kw's (header n cat gives you way more gains than the other two)
