While only adding 76.7816749 more HP, getting a "Type-R" sticker is a better deal. :thmsup:

You guys don't get it - the SPOILER adds 140 hp.... though, if you have the V6, you add over 300!!!!

Yep - my EX-V6 now has 571 hp. I leave Corvettes in the dust and can go toe to toe with any Ferrari.

i was just showing you guys what you can gain for 25 bucks on ebay.
i paid almost $2000 CAD for my exhuast and intake and i gain probably max 20 hp
now you can spend $25 and gain 140 hp lol

im just trying to save you guys money..why spend thousands of dollars for 20 or 30 hp
when you can gain ONLY 125 as some claim for $25

Here is a video of an Accord racing an altima WITHOUT the chip. At the end you will hear a really loud exhaust (almost like a drag race car), but that is my Accord. It was stock until I added this HP chip and it made my car sound and perform like a drag racer. Enjoy!

I love a good joke, but this has gone far enough.

It isn't actually a "microchip" which re-programs your car's computer. It's a resistor (although it looks like a microchip). The resistor changes the way electricity flows thru your your car. At some point the change in electricity will cause dyno tests to register erratic changes in HP. And they're just exaggerating the difference (in their favor, of course).

They'll make the anaolgy that it's like taking steroids for greater strength...

a better anaolgy is that it's like taking PCP for greater strength.


Put that thing in your car and you'll eventually trash your electrical system.

actually it changes the reading on the MAF, and it doesnt do squat. additionally, WTF are u talking about with dynos?

Man, I'm so pissed off right now. I bought my M3 for nothing. For just $25, I'd have almost gotten the same HP (411 vs 414) with my coupe, and the fuel mileage of a Civic. Honda needs to hire these geniuses :lmao:.

Seriously, I don't think ANYBODY on this board would be so stupid to try that crap. Plus with the super professional connectors supplied (alligator clips), you'd leave a trace of what f***ed up your car. Welcome to Ebay. Good day.

09-15-2009, 01:21 PM
okay guys..seriously
the only reason i put this thread to show you whats going on in the ebay world for our accords.. i know its useless,...... just by looking at the price.
most of you guys know sprint booster which cost 300 and it only amplify a the signal, you dont even gain hp.
and a no name chip for $25 can give you 140 hp.
it was nice to have lil jokes here and there but plz dont be rude and offensive to each other.

thx

My red "H" JDM emblems add 24.5 more horse power and make the car more aerodynamic. Also invisible to speed traps. They are special though, and I can't tell you where I purchased them from.

i got them from ebay and they work perfectly.

I am looking into the Honda bluetooth right now from CHH, I called them up and they said it can improve my overall performance. They said it adds as much HP as a drop in K&N air filter! Its a win-win!

hey elp_jc, i just wanted to apologize to you for saying screw you and the M3 you rode in on. osiris sent me a warning that i apparently insulted you. i didnt know teasing other members about their sick ass cars was against the rules man, and for that i sincerely apologize and have decided to post this to humble myself before your greatness lol.

just wanted to let everyone know that apparently the noob who started this thread, and others according to osiris, reported my comment in which i said to elp_jc:

"screw you and the M3 you rode in on"

what a bunch of bologna

to make matters worse, apparently osiris doesnt take the time to read the thread and try to understand the situation, which is what he PM'ed me

interesting how the idea was not to start anything in here, when clearly i was kidding, and now something gets started because some cry babies have to go behind my back and report my post to the moderator.

09-16-2009, 09:52 AM
hmm my bad to osiris. it looks like elp_jc reported me too, and edited a comment he made at me. wow man, i was surprised when i found that out. maybe u ought to go check out the thread in which u came on here braggin about ur new car, and where i said how awesome it was and congratulated u. ur a punk.

sorry for being a PITA osiris, and i wont edit my posts, report people and hide like a coward.

get a sense of humor elp_jc, and quit braggin about ur car, it's not cute.

This thread should have died pages ago.

What we seem to have here is a breakdown of communication. I believe that lldsandsll was making an attempt at humor that didn't roll over well to some of the others here, because it was seen as a personal attack rather than light-hearted friendly teasing. He has been warned by a moderator and he also apologized.

Perhaps we all can learn from this incident in hopes of being more tactful and clear when attempting humor online, where words are often not accompanied by facial expressions or tone of voice.

Last but not least, I just want to say props to elp_jc for everything (house, cars) he has worked hard to earn. I have read some of his previous posts and he has offered sound financial advice in terms of avoiding unnecessary debt, in order to achieve one's dreams.

while i agree with most of what you said, i still dont see how "screw you and the M3 you rode in on" would be mistaken for a personal attack. it's a play on the expression "screw you and the horse you rode in on." he thought it was funny to brag about how much power his car makes in a joking way, so i thought it was funny to knock him down a peg in a joking way.

besides, who reports someone's post over something like that? if u have a problem with me, deal with it like a man.

the other stupid thing about this is that a moderator would choose to get involved over something like this. clearly this was not something that i needed to be reprimanded over. maybe if the thread was scrutinized, which is what the moderator is supposed to do, this would have never happened. if i go pressing the report post button at will, you'll all get warnings. osiris even told me he doesnt read the threads. how does this make sense?

Here's a thought from another Moderator here who have read through the entire thread, I consider it poor mannersim and down right rudeness when someone says "screw you and *********", your "humour" is lost by people here, just because you thought it was funny doesn't mean everyone else should also agree with you that it is funny, I certainly do not.

You were on the right track when you initially apologized to elp_jc, but why did you have to come back with other ramblings as above, why not quit while you WERE ahead?

i didnt ever apologize to elp, it was to osiris, though technically it wouldve been helpful if he informed me that elp was the tool who cant take a joke. and changing the noun in the sentence from horse to M3 wasnt obviously a joke related to an age old expression. at least i didnt pop in to say "what damn i shouldnt have bought a crappy M3 since i could get 125 HP from a chip." i cant be the only one who thinks that he strokes his ego a bit too much.

btw, chinese are known in the news lately for putting out bad products (milk, toys, etc...), and nigerians are known for scams, hence the nigerian scam. i wasnt stereotyping, i was speaking relevantly.

the issue here is that you're all way too high strung. i'm a doctor, i'm prepared to prescribe you all chill pills.

I sure hope you were joking THIS time about being a doctor........, http://www.driveaccord.net/forums/showthread.php?t=17967 post #7 onwards shows very questionable ethics, let alone being a doctor.

In any case, recent discussions amongest the Moderators identified the need to "clean house" on unacceptable user behaviors, such as continued display of unwillingness to comply and respect both the DA rules and other DA members as demonstrated here.
