If you want that money to make you faster, the best results by far will come if you spend it at a driving school. Unless you're just looking for bragging rights.

**** you're one step ahead of me at least you have a limited slip rear end! Use that 400 to tune it up, maybe put some decent tires on it. Get the car driveable first before you try to make it fast, I know my 85 needed some work before I even thought about tryin to make it fast so I imagine yours will probably need the same. If thats not what you want to do with it than save it and turbo that 12A, it will cost ya some money but thats the way Im headed. Nothin better than a turbo SA or FB https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683473.gif

well if all youre looking for is a few extra horses (regardless of if you want them for actual speed or just some bragging rights) i'd check out this Racing Beat exhaust. here go to high-perf exhaust, and the first 82 one on there. You're not gonna get it for under $400, but its a decent horsepower boost. besides, if its all about bragging rights, it'll make your car louder.

If you have to stay emission friendly, start with a Bonez high flow cat (RX7.com), many out there but these are all stainless steel and wont come out the tailpipe after 3 months use, gets rid of the 3 stock cats and you replace it with one. Saves weight, engine breathes better, and about 250. If not worried about emmission you could go for a header & straight pipe removing the rats nest and smog pump, but youll need the block of plates for that which Racing Beat sells also. You could probably find the cat on ebay or The partstrader or on our forums parts section for less. Hit your local wrecking yards for a 2nd gen aluminum jack and tire iron for a small weight saving and probably only 10 bucks or so. If the a/c dont work and you dont plan on fixing it remove it along with all the under dash components and front radiator for a bigger weight savings and one less belt for your engine to have to turn. Less weight and freed up some hp's. Look into the underdrive pulleys from Racing beat.com roughly 75 bucks, free up a bit more hp's. If not worried about the heater, bypass it and remove the heater core and underdash vents. Tune the baby up, NGK wires and plugs would be the best for it. And last longer than the cheaper versions out there. Just some suggestions from one budget minded rotor-head to another.

Maybe I'm mistaken, but I think you mean the AC condenser, not the front radiator. Getting rid of your radiator wouldnt be a good idea....

Otherwise sounds like good advice, might use some of those ideas myself.

I just want to beat my ricer cousin which he drives a 94 accord 4 door and says rx7s are slow and im like woow ur gay U drive a freaken honda lol https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683785.gif he has a intake full exhaust and milled head

You wanna shut him up? Throw some decent rubber underneath that car and tighten up any worn out suspension bushings you have, you can get poly replacements. Take him out to some curvy road and stretch a few car lengths on him. My car is not all that fast but try and take me down in the curves and its not gonna happen, our cars handle EXTREMELY well for a stock setup. You're probably not gonna change his mind even if you DO beat him, most ricers have it set in the head that if they make 65000 body kits for a econo box it MUST be fast. At least you got a GSL, that limited slip is good for hard launches.

Oh man! i hate when friends talk crap, most of mine dont even have there own car!! Anyways goodluck on your car, im right where you are.. but with less cash https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

You have a gsl and you can't beat a 4 door accord? Take him on a straigh away, and then take him in the turns. It does not take much work to go in a straight line on the street. Then proceed to the curves.

I havent raced him yet but he claims it runs 15.5s but it doesnt cause a stock 92 integra ls 4 door that was all jacked up beat him and it runs like 17s

it is different at the track then on the street. gotta figure how sticky a drag strip is compared to a normal street. sure, the normal street gets more use, but you don't see everyone doing burnouts in suv's and minivans.

yeah im sorry his integra doesnt run in the mid 15s, track or street

I wouldnt be so sure about that, I see some fast Honda's down here in FL. Heres a link to a gallery, look for the vid of a GSR pullin an 11 second run.

I gurantee if you put any performance part on your car you will be able to beat that rice pos because come on its an accord. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683473.gif You really don't even have to do much to your car to make it faster than his accord honestly.

He was saying his friends integra is stock and beat up

Oh boy, ricers. Always fun to deal with around here. Some guy in a Civic tried to tailgate me going over to my house so I just dropped it. I was later told he looked at his passenger and said "I just got left." (This was with the 8.)

Tune it up and you should be able to beat him stock! But if you must ask whats the best bang for the buck MOD that you can do to your rotary it would have to be a header. I pull on my bros SIR Civic all the day long even with with him being a car length or 2 ahead when we start. But then again.........Thats another story! Anyways you cant beat a header!

I couldnt remember the name of the a/c condenser...........yeah that be crazy if someone would take the engine radiator off and expect the car to run longer than a few minutes. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683664.gif

as painful as it is to admit, a relatively stock Gen I is not going to crush any half-decent driver in an Accord (1990 to present) without some serious modifications. you may beat him, but it won't be by much, just as he probably wouldn't be able to catch you once you get ahead.



$400 will get you started. i'd start with a header, presilencer and some decent pipes. you won't be able to get a Racing Beat muffler after all of that, but if you don't mind the noise you can try a steel-packed after-market unit (Magnaflow or Dynomax or something) - not sure on pricing, but you shold be able to eek by on your budget.



remove the Rat's Nest and get the Nikki tuned - that shouldn't cost much, if you don't know how to do it yourself. Use these forums that's what they are here for.
