[CL9] Accord Euro Ozhonda Noob Intro + Qs

[Fredoops]

Secondly, being an auto & 5speed, I find the car to be quite gutless (factory exhaust). Are there any common choke points like the factory cat?

The reason I ask, is the low end torque is quite poor (to the point using AC is annoyingly slower). Yes, I know it's a Honda motor (not exactly a torque boat), but I'm sure it's capable of more & I get the impression it's restricted @ the moment. Just after a more pleasurable Mon-Fri commute (my weekender is a 330rwkw MR2 turbo). Currently has 155k km & otherwise running like new.

Cheers,

1st thing to start is engine oil lol....
the factory catback is actually very free flowing, the choke points are intake/header/cat.

Your heavy 19inch wheel probably don't help either, since 1kg of rotating mass = 6-10kg static mass... 19 inch wheels are usually 10kg each or more, thats 2kg per wheel more than the stock 16x6 rims x 6-10kg rotating to static mass conversion....
it's like an extra 70-100 odd kgs the car has to pull...

OEM cat pre facelift has 900 cells... go figure
