The chrome wheels give it a pimp look. And pimp screams out low center of gravity! It's begging for a drop!

Nice car, same color as mine. Well, as Accord Man said, the wheels beg, I mean BEG for a drop. Well, since you have the chrome rims, I'd more or less slam it if you're going for the pimp look. Maybe some neuspeed race w/ koni yellows would do the trick. The springs are up to you, but make sure you get good struts. Sportlines are also very nice.

As for performance, you will need to start with intake, headers, and exhaust. For an intake, I would stick with an AEM CAI (cold air intake). I have one and like it a lot. It sounds very nice. Headers I'd go with DC sports, your choice of ceramic or SS. There is a wide variety of exhausts, you can go custom and save money, or purchase a name brand cat back. I'd go with the latter if you have the dough.

If you think that you might want serious power, and you have ~$4000+, they tell us, because that opens up MANY more options (*cough* H22 )

After you finish with intake, headers, and exhaust (I/H/E), you can move to other things, such as pulleys, ignition, cams, NOS, etc.

Write back and tell us your approx. budget and maybe we could help more. The VERY first thing I'd do is buy an AEM CAI.

Good luck!

Exclamation 96 Accord Lx

Hey Guys thanks for the imput, I am planning on giving it a 2 inch drop in about the next 3-4 weeks and I'm also changing my rims to possibly some Konig Tantrums. I Have gotten a lot of compliments on the rims from a whole lot of people but my thing with the rims on my car now are that they are bit heavy. I am also putting on a rear wing spoiler that my car comes with. I think that will give it a bit more flava. Anyway I will put a updated pic when I get those things done. Oh yeh I was also thinking of putting on a jackson Supercharger to get that speed I was looking for I already have the exhaust and air filter done.

Well, that all sounds good, but they don't make a JR SC for our Accords yet I don't think.

I thought they had them by now for the accords, well if they dont I'll would still prefer a superharger for my accord rather than a Turbo. Turbo's are to much maintenance and they are easily messed up. By the way what kind of supercharger would you suggest for my accord?

Actually, as of now, I don't believe that there are ANY SCs for our cars. That sucks, but JR was saying for awhile that they were going to make one, but I think they ditched the idea... don't take my word for that though.

If you want FI, you will need to go turbo or NOS. A MUCH more reliable thing to do is to swap an H22A from a prelude into your car ::. Gives you a MUCH stronger platform to build from.

If you don't mind me asking, what kind of money are you willing to spend? That will help us help you a little better.

IMHO an SC just isnt worth the trouble & money.
