Default Want to tune?

I just bought a 2005 honda accord dx/vp model and I was wondering if you guys had any ideas about where to get cold air intake parts, brake, turbo kits, throttle bodies, and exhuast systems, and others for a 2005 accord dx model. A lot of places don't seem to have stuff for a 2005 accord model. Names of websites and tips would be very helpful. Also does anyone know where I can get cheap wheels and tires? Thanks a lot for your help.

You can buy most of the parts on Ebay for reasonable prices but make sure to stay with the name brands.
Intakes: AEM, INJEN or K&N
Exhaust System: GREDDY, APEX WS etc
Iam not so sure about the brands for turbo and brake kits but you can search the forums and will probably get the answers.
Wheels: I got ADR 17" Gunmetals for $300(shipped) on Ebay and I will buy the tires from either www.tirerack.com or local discount tire.

Welcome to HAN btw. I have a 2003 Accord, check out my car at the link below and ask me if you have any questions about anything.

Welcome to HAN. Don't worry about the big brake until you get more power. Tirerack is good with tires/wheels, Steve @ evolution was helpful to me- they have a wide selection of Volk rims.

Make sure if you do go on ebay to read it carefully, lots of things out there that say like Greddy or like AEM. Almost screwed myself once but I caught it before I bought it.

Very nice ride. My girl is a 2000 Accord EX V6 Coupe. I have a magnaflow catback exhaust, like it very much. I have an AEM cold air intake, like it very much. I have an "ebay" special header, Topgun, not CARB legal but I like it very much. I bought one of those voltage stabilizer things...sucks! I have KYB GR2 sticks and Tein H spec springs, slightly over one inch drop, love it (cheap too). I have Falkan tires on MSR rims, 17 inch, weigh 19lbs, tires are so so, rims are nice for the price. Have Magnum cross drilled rotors, AEM pads, Goodrich SS brake lines, I like it a lot. Have 3M Scotchtint Ceramic tint, 20% back, 50% doors....sick! And, now that I am divorcing the wife hello supercharger! She can have the stinkin beamer, I'm a honda cat! Oh, do be careful on ebay, and good luck.

I was checking out some of the voltage stabilizers on eBay, they almost got me convinced but I searched for threads in HAN and I found your comment. Does "sucks" mean it's useless? Does it help anything or the eBay guys were just bluffing? Any inputs would be appreciated, thanks man

ebay is a nice place to look for cheap parts, but like everyone else said, make sure you get name brands and read the fine print. also make sure you look at shipping prices and etc. someone might only ask for $150 for an AEM intake but then make the shipping like $70. i got everything on my car on ebay for hella good prices. i bought a voltage stabilizer too from ebay, a Greddy trust unit and it made my stereo put out more bass and my headlights were slightly brighter but i didnt see any increase in torque.
