Your Accord's weakest point?
Well the title pretty much breaks it down.
I'd have to say the weight fo the car (in relation to the power output..) !! Thinking of it makes me want to  But thats pretty much the only weak point on my ride! :p :p

My Accords weak point? Hmmm. I would have to agree, the weight is pretty bad at just under 3000lbs.

I will have to say, i love white accords, even though I prefer 4th gens... 5th's arent so bad
 not a fan of body kits, but thats so subtle it looks GOOD, not a fan of nitrous either.... but if thats your thing, go for it, I actually like the hood... thats one thing i dont think i'd ever do to a 4th gen... a carbon fiber hood. and the H22a4... I had to change my pants... good work man. Eric |

1300lbs, man that would be awesome.. though our rides would have to be stripped butt naked. Since we cant really loose weight (& feel great!), we just need to up the power.. Hummm, easier said than done. But we simply complain about this like if it were a terrible mistake made by Honda. When the truth is that those 3000 lbs actually are there for a reason. Anyways, I still love my ride.

These numbers arent 100% accurate (faulty equipment, actually poorly installed). So do not try to flame me! 1/4 mile in 15.5 @ around 90 mph. top speed, no idea, since my speedometer stops @ 220km/h. but i've rolled faster than that. A friend was following me on her bike & at a certain point (before the end of the freeway), she read almost 250 km/h. The sad part was that I wasnt really close to the end of the drive on my 5th gear.. Just had no more pavement!! but anyways, at least 250 km/h. Satisfied?

Yeah, I have been lucky enough to never have to walk around at Nopi. We know a guy who owns a golf cart sales business. He brings carts for us getting him in. Works out great.
Yeah, I got the new tranny in. Got it done 4 days before the show. I had no time to redo the trunk, or no money left to put on the turbo. That really sucks. Oh well. How long until your baby is back on the road? |
