A score of Qs for 6th gen V6ers
Browsing the forum got my curious on a lot of topics regarding how fellow 6th gen V6 Accord owners have modified their rides, and how they maintain them. So fill out my little survey if you get a chance.
What oil do you typically put in your car?
What oil filter?
What tires and, if non-stock, rims do you currently have on your car?
What mods do you have under your hood?
What's your favourite mod under the hood? (whether it's due to value or performance is up to you)
What mods do you have to the exterior styling of your car?
What mods do you have to the interior styling of your car?
If non-stock, what's your audio(/video) system comprised of?
What do you love about your Accord the most?
What was the victim in your most fabled kill story? (lets try to stick to kill stories that actually happened boys and girls)
And finally, give some details on your ride. ie. year, trim, coupe/ sedan, mileage, anything you wish to include.

And now for my answers:
Oil - Mobil 1 usually, currently Castrol Syntec (ugh!)
Filter - Honda OEM
Tires - Stock Michelin MXV4 Plus
Under the hood - Bone stock, different filter
Fave Mod - none to speak of, but I like my remote starter
Exterior Mods - Super fancy Accord licence plate holder, factory installed options
Interior Mods - Pine tree air freshener, and I keep it clean
Audio - nothing yet, changing head unit in a couple months
Love most - 3500 - 6200 rpm in 2nd gear. it's the sweet spot.
Best victim - A couple of punks in a Contour SVT. I should have been smoked, but I wasn't.
Details - 1999, EX V6, Sedan, 69K kms (nice n low), Heather Mist.
It's not the best thing out there, but damn I love my car.

What mods do you have under your hood? DIY intake, comptech headers, TL-S exhaust, UR pullies
What's your favourite mod under the hood? (whether it's due to value or performance is up to you) --Comptech headers, best power gain

If non-stock, what's your audio(/video) system comprised of? Stock head unit, PPI amp powering MB quart speakers, no subs
What do you love about your Accord the most? Drives nice, looks pretty okay, reliable.
What was the victim in your most fabled kill story? (lets try to stick to kill stories that actually happened boys and girls) I don't race usually, but I have enjoyed taking out a few riceboys in civics and other misc. riced out vehicles
And finally, give some details on your ride. ie. year, trim, coupe/ sedan, mileage, anything you wish to include. 2002 EX V6 sedan, about 7000 miles.....mostly suspension work done (comptech springs, tokico illuminas, TL-S strut bar, comptech sways)---bottom line, I like the "understated" look, I hate cars that scream "look at me", they are usually distasteful and have teenagers driving them, I like to keep it simple and elegant.
