help with modding Accord Euro '03

**chatersz** · 23-05-2011 07:34 PM

Hi

So, I just turned 18

and for my first car, Dad surprised me with an Accord Euro Luxury '03 model. Score?

ANYWAYS....

So it is every mans dream to mod his car, and make it his own. SO I wanna mod this baby up

Problem is, I don't know where to start under the hood....

I mean, exterior and interior I've already got covered (lowering, kits, sound etc), its just under the hood that I need some advice with.

1. Where should i start? Parts/Kits and that sort of stuff.
2. Where to get? I mean I've been browsing around a bit, and found parts are REALLY hard to find.

Thanks in advance

Amen to that.

Start with a service, then a recall (ps hose) so your car don't catch fire... Then check your brake rotors and pads. Check if all your central locking work (If not get a quote from Honda fir door actuator/s... Then slap your self for getting a quote from Honda).

Still got money left? Sorry to spoil your party but insurance is going to rape you hard if you modify. You can mod it but you'll be paying thru the nose on insurance.

If you realllly that full of cash, get a CAI... Ice box if it rains and floods where you are, injen If you live in the desert (edit: scratch that, exposed filter illegal in Vic)
