Accords

Squints · 04-18-2008, 05:01 PM

anyone else drive one? i've got an '03 EX. 4DR, 5SPD, 2.4 iVTEC YO!!

it's stock and staying that way. well, it has a throttle body spacer on it, (adds 15-20 HP, right?

) but that was there when i bought it. i'm gonna take it off. i don't like the stupid little whitsle it makes and need a paper weight for my desk at work.

i'm not really interested in modding my car. it would be pointless for me to turn my 4DR Accord into a Medium performance machine. i love the car though. great gas mileage, and it doesn't do to bad for 165 hp. i think that's what stock rating is. if anyone knows what it actually is, don't worry about telling me, i don't really care.

later,
Skwintz.

good stuff. what kind of mileage does it get?

Squints · 04-18-2008, 05:07 PM

i get close to 30, city. but i drive like an old lady most of the time. i figured it up the last time i drove home. all highway, i got right at 35.

It'd cost me $11 in gas to drive 30 miles... Eh. Gonna get something with better gas mileage for everday driving. Those hybrid Civics are looking awfully good about now.

dude, i fill up every 2 1/2 weeks, and it's running me about 43-45 bucks for a tank.
but i'm sure i'm gonna be spending much more than that on gas when i get the 86 GT fixed up and kickin.

my wife had a 94 ex with 130,000 miles on it and it still runs like the day it was made. we gave it to her dad when we bought the Pilot.

Im thinking about getting an old pos accord for a dd.

Not bad, I would personally get an older BMW. Late 80s.

I'd drive an new Accord before I drove an 80s Bimmer. More reliable, safer, and it has a warranty.
