    Before y'all go telling this guy to do everything so that he looks like the average ricer (minus what Simon said. lol) lets see what his goal is with the car. Don't take off power steering, a/c, etc unless it's a track car. Take it from someone that has gutted a few street cars, the performance gain isn't worth it... just makes you look like you're trying too hard and don't know much. A rule of thumb is for every 100 pounds you take out, you gain one tenth in the quarter mile. That's not a lot of time and that's a lot of stuff to equal 100 pounds. Anyways, look up a good forum for your generation accord and see what mods react the best to your motor/car. If full exhaust adds 5hp, is the $400+ bill for that worth it to you? I'd go with what Simon said unless you're never gonna track it and want a really smooth ride... but that goes back to us needing to know your goal.

    my two cents.

    my goal isnt really to gain a lot of sped, just a little bit... i dont not want to take off pars, cause i am not going to take it to the tracks. my intentions are mainly for looks and just a little bit more quickness.
    I have the girl, now i need the car.
