The reason it's part 2 is because I've been on the site for awhile, but never did anything worth mentioning (plus I was paying off the car). Now that that's settled, I want to make a "sleeper car". I want all work done on the engine, trans and suspension without doing anything to the exterior.

I should also mention that I know nothing about cars (forshame), so everything will be done professionally, unless there are some XD enthusiasts in the Detroit area. Then we can talk. But down to the nitty...

What should I get done first? I was thinking about picking up a CAI (Accord, as referred to by the group) and some lowering springs and shocks (since the car doesn't come with it IMO). Can I get some assistance, please? thankx

well if you want real performance don't do the headers because turbo will give you the most and you won't need the headers

MR313. If you ever venture over to the west side of michigan, i'm in grand rapids and i'm pretty handy with paint and ripping things apart and installing. I also have family in detroit i can crash with. If you have a big project let me know and i can probably get some time off
