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.

大左torque 加速快左
但你廠用緊o既break 同suspension 應唔應付得到?

not 高手 but know some comments...

Didn't have time to go thru all the stuff said in the reflash.  Does it change vtec kick in?

Flashing ECU gains a lot BUT it will definitely cause more wear and tear on your engine/tranny/drivelines.  If that's OK with you, then go ahead; it's the best method for power.  Otherwise, just do intake and exhaust will gain you a few extra hp.

Lighter wheels will help if you go track day but for "street fun", some difference but not huge.

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?

Best thing to do is to go sign up at a good North America-based 1st gen TSX forum, and see what other people are doing. Read a lot of old posts, find out what works, what doesn't, what is popular, etc., and then ask some intelligent questions.

But honestly, if you really want to mod, start out by getting yourself a good set of tires. At the very least, go for some UHP all season. Better yet, get a set of lightweight rims (while keeping the same rim diameter) and mount some (high / ultra high / max / extreme) performance summer tires on the car. Power is useless when you can't lay it on the ground, and braking will improve from the tire change as well.

a pulley and a flash add like what? 5HP on a honda K24???
i'm sure brakes and suspension wont even feel a difference.

how does an ecu upgrade cause more wear and tear?  your engine is running regardless, its just running more efficient timing, more like it won't pass emission with the more aggressive air fuel timing.
