Im 16 and I recieved a pretty new 2000 Accord 2dr V6
I put 18" Torque 5's on it and found no change in performance other than turning...It still tops off at 115mp's (governor???)

Should I get some huge rotors? (More Surface Area = More brake power)
Short Ram intake or cold air intake
Is there a cat-back I can get that won't make my car sound ricey like a lawnmower? ;) or does the dual exhaust sound better?
Coil-overs or lower springs, I was told that the coil-overs make your ride handle horribly and I was told to get a "Tien Flex" Kit that costs $1100.?!?
Tooo much money for me right now...

Anyway, any help is appreciated...Thanks
Lastly, Im getting this Bodykit...

To be honest man, tuning a AV6 is gonna cost money. Headers are gonna run you around $1000, plus a good exhaust like Greddy or Apex WS is gonna run you almost the same as well. If you aren't planning to spend a good amount of money, then i suggest just getting a cold air intake, lowering it, and calling it a day.

He must have a LX that it tops out at 115

You might be right, cuz i have the EX V6 and I take mine past 120mph every now and then.

You're right. Why is the EX faster?? I thought it just had the Leather seats and all that fancy stuff. I didnt know there was a performance difference.

My car does have 146,000 miles... LOL - It's broken in enough

EX has the same engine specs pretty much, it just doesnt have the speed limiter.

So, can I take that out or is that something I have to do when I hack the ECU?
