"strictly street driven all highway in cali!", I don't get this... How can it be "strictly" and say both street and highway driven?

new carpet! the previous owner used as a daily driver , and spilled coffee all down the side of the center console , and seats , and he owned a short haired dog that left some hair in places you wouldn't imagine! after vacuuming , using heavy duty tape to get up like 95% of the hair, & shampooing the carpet you wouldn't even tell, but i own a dog and i don't want her freaky in the car, it looks great after cleaning, but still worn in spots, a couple of small holes here and there, so i am putting in new carpet. you just buy the mold and carpet for your car, plus you can add sound dampening, firewall, pretty inexpensive DIY! motul ingunel expert coolant, and some redline water wetter!

Welcome to Accord ownership. I'd take out those ik20 plugs quick. They'll kill your gas and are made for FI apps like s/c, turbo. I had those and the car ran rich as hell. It's too cold for your NA setup. Check out www.v6performance.net for good Accord forums.

Congrats ! Comptech has a supercharger for your car BEWARE as you will find out on v6performance.net , there has been some tranny issues ( and I've had them with my 98 v6 ) with this car so be careful. But congrats and enjoy

Weird thing is that the s/c guys haven't blown a tranny yet.
