My Accord
How do you like the 6th gen Accord? Like as far as handling/acceleration is concerned.
I have a 7th gen 6MT coupe and I've been really pleased with it. I know the 6th gen's acceleration isn't as quick, but if you've driven the 7th is the handling similar? I've never ever driven a 6th gen.
I really like the back end of yours (ahh the baby NSX back end of the 6th gen), and I like what's been done with the wheels.

I like the looks of the 6th gen a lot but from a performance stand point it blows asshole. I made it handle way better though. Since I've got the car I've gotten some coilovers (on the stiffest setting) and a front strut bar plus some pretty meaty tires. My understeer isn't bad at all. I'm still not completely satisfied with how my car rides. I have Tein SS coilovers and they are too soft for my taste. I'm hoping to get some Apex'i coilovers or Megan coilovers sometime. I'm working on the looks though too. Today I did a DIY M3 spoiler mod where I placed it above the rear window. It looks pretty sick, I have to get some daytime pics. I'm going to get a Mugen replica front lip painted silver, new exhuast (Tanabe Hyper Medallion), some Mugen sedan sideskirts custom fitted painted silver, and a rear lip of some sort, tint... just stuff like that for looks.
I appreciate the comments you guys
Here's some exhaust pics for you Time For Sleeep





They sound like shit, I want to get rid of them so fast.

Have you heard of anyone who's done an automatic to manual conversion on one of the 6th gens? There must be someone out there who has.

That's cool that people have done it though.
If you want more info, youngTL, you can go to a certain Accord site but I can't post it here. PM me for more info. Oh and I'd trade for your car in a heart beat. 
Very clean car. A nice exhaust that I saw was the Magnaflow full catback. I heard it was pretty quiet but I don't post much anymore on Accords so I don't know long term reviews. I've had my 2000 since 2000 and haven't done much to it lately. I have the Comptech mufflers and they drone at around 2000rpm but are fine for everyday use.
Sup Agranado. :hello:

How come you can't post the names of another forum on here?
Just came back to the thread just now =P. I love your set up; I think you should paint the spoiler it looks alil' weird sittin' there unpainted.
Soundclips of the exhaust plz. They look so clean on the car; they look like Apex'i N1 (and from the looks of the Y-pipe) is full catback.
I'll bet they're loud as hell; I haven't seen that set up on an accord before. Usually Apex'i makes real good stuff =/.
