It's possible once I get my driving priveliges back i may have to keep driving my '03 accord EX (automatic LOL) instead of my dad's 3000gt (not vr4! >_<) and was wondering if that's even worth upgrading...

No.

You can add exhaust and ****, but all that does is call attention to yourself and doesn't add any HP.

If you add stickers and ****, apparently girls love you so you might want to go that route.

i was actually referring to the idiot that posted after you. But doing a manual conversion on a car is usually more work and money than it needs to be and the 3000GT is a heavy thing. There are better people to tell you about that car than me but i would sell it for something else. Like a 4cyl manual Honda :)

lol i know you were =P, but selling one isn't really an option... i already own the honda and my dad owns the 3000gt so i could keep the honda or possibly trade the honda for the 3000gt

it really isnt that hard to convert it to manual and its not expensive (relitivley) if you do it yourself so I'd convert it to manual, give it a limited slip differential, and put a little boost to it. the f23 (I believe that's what your car has) handles boost very well.

one of the best ways to upgrade a honda is to get something different.

You won't like my advice, but it's good advice.


Consider not doing ANYTHING to the Honda. Consider taking the money you would have spent on it and saving it. BB&T offers a great eSavings account that gives a pretty good return. Take the money, save it up and get your OWN car that's a little more moddable. Maybe a first gen Miata, an EJ Hatch, an S13 240sx, a B13 Sentra, and God knows what else you can find for just 2-3 grand.

You'll be alot happier with yourself in the long run.

Don't spend any of your hard earned money on a automatic accord ex, spend it on a automatic toyota supra would be more wise! aha But to be honest, you could prob drop a Honda prelude(H23A,H22A) motor in it if you're really stuck with that car for a long time. But you'd also be stuck with a automatic....If you really have that much paper to BURN..Just get something more dependable and cheaper to mod; it'll save you some headache in the long run. B13Sentra's are the best budgeted route to go and their the cheapest, quickest to start from. Other then that, Honda's get stolen easily once it draws attention, get a bad ass alarm 1st. The best choice for someone in your situation if you're really stuck with that car and wanted some attention is to just go for SHOW. Trust me, we've all been through what you're going through back in the dayyyy...:2cents:

Is the accord a v6 or a 4? If i had an 03 accord, I would do rims and suspension. Then boost the k24.

i'm gonna sound like a douche but it is how it is. Why do you want to make a car fast and such when you don't even have 'driving privledges' to begin with? how did you lose them?

Being a ricer is all a state of mind and has nothing to do with what kind of car you drive. You can rice out any car, and from your statement I'm sure you would .:D

I got the honda (parents choice) a couple months after my 16th birthday... so I had driving privledges when I got the car... but then I got arrested for curfew violation and MIP of alcohol :doh: so my parents got pissed and took my car away.. I'm also expecting to be able to drive again in a couple months :cheers: so I'm wanting to make a fast car while I have nothing else to do

it would be dumb to convert it to manual. You would come into many problems if you did that. that involves more than you think.
