改車新手，尋高見

ACC-HE

seems like everyone knows already.. but i'm driving TSX '05 AT.

4 yrs warranty will be gone soon, so I'm thinking maybe I can try fiddling around.. keke...

What are your comments on...

• Hondata refresh - dyno speaks for themselves? [url=http://www.garagefive.net/ ]They [/url] seems to be the local dealer..
  
• Pulley Set (Underdrive) - improves low end torque
  
• lighter rim...?
  

things I considers
- price
- better power
- keep about the same noise
- not super bad effect on durability.

really? but i thought the dyno on that page is from a tsx with everything stock as well.

intake and exhaust... will they make my car noisier?

what will I gain?

If I need to upgrade my brake, what kind of pads are good?

ACC-HE

你地自己改定俾人改？去邊改？

I thought the ECU flash is the easiest, seems like only a phone firmware flash... anyone tried flashing their car?  What's the experience?  How is it done?

Thank you all,

what kind of suspension?  Sporty suspension? Wouldn't that make the ride rough?  Why do i need an upgrade?  I thought the original suspension is quite good already. or.. do i need something different to handle the additional power?

Lighter wheel

any recommendation?  how do lighter wheels help?  acceleration?

Where do you get them?  It is hard to tell from a picture... anywhere I can look at them physically?

What's considered 'light' for a 17x7?

Great, thanks Hyde & philip!

I gave it some thoughts...  I don't drive aggressively all the time like some of you guys.  I'm not planning to go on track.

So after all, I just want better straight line acceleration, low end torque, and better overall dry and wet traction.

So I guess i should focus on tires and wheel first... but I still think the hondata flash is cool
