the more things change
for all those waiting i decide to go with the enkei LF-10's
even tho i like the red stripe it just had an i don't know factor..
so they have no pricing problem. so rims and tires
it's a little over $1200. tires ware to fast, so no reason to
buy the really good ones. and they are not all season jedi.

are you going to get your TPMS taken out of your current wheels and put into those?

i'm debating on getting my car lowered. i'd LOVE to buy another rx8, but the cost of buying a new car vs. the cost of fixing my car up is just so great, i think i'd rather go with the fix up my car route.
like, i want to lower it, so i need to know about springs, shocks, and i'm also interested in front and rear strut bars. do i need a caster/camber kit? and, lights because one of them has pretty bad sun damage and it's got that yellow crusty film over it. i've cleaned it off pretty well with 2000 grit sand paper and some special lens wax and it's not 100% like the other one. and i know it'll just come back eventually. intake and exhaust....but, i want it to sound kinda deepish like i mean business and not that typical annoying rice-rocket fart-can sound. i also joined a honda forum, but those guys over there are total douche bags and don't like to help, so eff them.
or....just do nothing at all and keep my car status quo...but that's boring, lol.
zoi....

tough call xrider:
- if you drop your car very agressively (which makes no sense on your model) then you MIGHT need a camber kit. Other then that, you should be fine.
- yeah, all headlights will turn yellow eventually, it sucks but you can probably find some nice ones on ebay. I know that sounds retarded but there's so many accord's out there that tons of companies make parts for them. When my GF's truck headlights turned yellow'ish, I got a replacement from ebay and they work great
- intake / exhaust: no clue on that one
- I would think finding a forum for your car would be the best move, just not sure how helpful that would be since some honda forums are full of young immature kids. (no offense intended)

- i'm actually interested in OEM style lights, but with black housing. i'll look into some from eBay, but i'm more comfortable selling than buying on eBay though. also, my other concern with aftermarket lights is if they will fog up after it rains. but, i guess i can just ad some kind of sealer around the headlight housing to prevent that from happening, lol.
- the v6 Accords like mine come in a dual exhaust (it's just a Y pipe at the very end, so not true dual exhaust), but i'd be interested in getting a single exhaust pipe to make it look like i have a 4cyl. accord....especially since i debaged my "Accord v6" logo from my accord, lol. but yea. not looking into that 5h!77y rice-rocket sound. i'd like something with a bit of a purr if possible

- i did join a honda forum like i said in my previous post. and just like you said, most of them are immature brats. they're not helpful at all for the most part. but, the ones that are helpful, they are extremely helpful. those are few and far between though =\

my advice jonathan...
leave the honda accord alone, work hard, save up, and then buy another 8 or a sports car that you will really enjoy...
spending money souping up an accord is (a) ricey (b) kind of a waste of your money... and (c) not going to satisfy you anyways...
good things come to those who wait my friend...
just my 0.02...
