seriously tho, to the creator, if you want to go fast, save money, grow up, get a good job, and buy a porsche/ferrari/whatever.

if you want to know more about cars/how they work, modding and working on your car is a great way to learn - start with the basics and work your way up. what 2gr84u said, basically.

Best advice ever :thumbup:

Either save your pennies for a real car or buy a Helms manual and some books about how cars work. There's nothing worse than a 20 year old kid with all the time in the world paying a shop to have them install stuff on their car.

Take off your mirrors, wipers and antenna. Weight Reduction + More Aero Dynamic = Winnar!

Oh, and get a few of those 50 lbs sand bags, like 5 or 6 of them, and put them over the rear tires. It will help you get traction.

Ehh...granted the 98 is a fucking tank I wouldn't say that about all Accords. The fifth gen is decent and the 4th gen is the jackpot for weight and swap options.
