Wow... I haven't kept my profile up to date. Will edit it later, for now, just some pics.

Most of you have seen these pics over in our Picture Thread forum and/or my profile over on v6p.
Just wanting to upload them here in my ECM Profile.

I am very happy on how my ECM is turning out. Still room to make it better, have a couple of plans of my sleeve to make it an aggressive looking yet clean Accord.

Hope you guys like my progress so far.

Welcome Ariel.  We're here to help.  What sort of direction are you going in for your car?  Performance?  Looks? Stereo?

hey tim, I'm looking at performance and looks. Would like looks first, if its cheaper to do stuff here and there. And I would love ideas on performance

[timot_one]

It depends on what kind of power you want and how you want to get it.  You can just get bolt ons, you can build it n/a or boost it.  It all depends on how much you're willing to pay and what you want to do.  As far as looks go, check out what looks good to you and go for it.  My car has gone through different phases over the years.  I'm fairly happy with the current look, but there's a few changes down the road.

I would suggest you read through the threads and research as much as you can, posting in existing threads with any questions you may have.

Well for now, I just want to beat civic si's. . I know there's turbo, nos, and superchargers. I would like to just basically learn about cars, especially mine. I'll keep it real and say I'm a newb to the game and just want to learn. Tim, your car is fresh, the silver and black go nicely together. I want ideas on what looks I can add to my car. And yes, ill def browse around plenty of threads and do my research

Those are some options.  I guess it depends on whether the Si is stock or modified and what gen Civic we're talking about.  It really depends on how far you're willing to go with this.  I'd recommend choosing a power goal, how you want your engine to be built, and then work towards that goal.  Spanking Si's is pretty easy to do if you build your car properly.  I'm sure I can take a few of them if I wanted to.

Thanks for the compliment.

Thanks mike and slipkord
And tim, I'm talking abt the 2008 models I think. 5he new civic bodies. The ones that have 197HP and 130torque
What would be the basic first steps to build up my engine?

[Mike]

Start with the basics. Intake, and Exhaust then go from there. Just make sure your choices leave you open to your ultimate goal. For example if you want to go with a turbo application it's not worth buying a header because your probably going to have to change it again later.

Yeah I understand. Would a 2 1/2 ft straight pipe be good for a little more power? B.c. I'm told the catty converter holds you back.

[Mike]

i don't think I would do a straight pipe. You could get a high flow cat.

How much would a good one be? And mike read my last pm

[timot_one]

The exhausts on our cars are fairly free flowing, so just a test pipe or a high flow cat won't make a huge difference.  Honestly, if it were me, I'd probably start off with the good old basic bolt ons.  Intake, intake manifold, header, exhaust, underdrive pulleys.  The major downfall with your car is the slushbox tranny.  That's your weak point.  I know a tranny swap isn't exactly a practical thing to do though, so take that with a grain of salt.

Realistically, it all depends on how much you're willing to spend and far you're willing to go.  There's a guy on here that has an AT coupe with a Comptech supercharger and he's making 250 whp on a Dynapack.  He did a lot of research, got good parts, and didn't cut corners.

Well time, I just want decent hp,like 200+. I would spend a bit if its worth it,I just want ideas and numbers on how much they would cost. I just want to broaden my choices.
