Just had to sell my s2000 (overall the best car i have ever driven, and i have driven lots) as our baby is due soon..

So i decided to stick with honda, reliability cheap to run etc etc and got a 03 Accord Type-S with 20K on the clock.. Its fairly nippy and handles ok, but obviouly not a s2000.

question is, i cannot find any tuning parts for this car.. most google searches end up with the US accord.
Anyone got any links? as i would like some more power.. (even though i know its a vtec).

Notoriously difficult to get good results from vtec engines without adding forced induction. I'd look at manifold, sports cat and induction kit to start with. Then you could go for a quiet cat back exhaust, bearing babs in mind. A chip or unit that lowers the cam change-over rpm can be added after the exhaust is done to make the most of the mods. You could check out www.honda-tech.com or www.hondarevolutions.com for more info.

Our Accord (03 shape) is the US's Acura TSX (06, I think - not sure about 04-05 version).
Plenty of bits and bobs - take a look at
acurazine.com and honda-tech.com

Were you not tempted for a late ATR?

You have my sympathies - we had to sell our's in June for the same reason weeping

We wanted to stick with Honda but the Accord was too ugly, so looked at the Mazda 5 and 6 - plumped for the 5

Funny how I see more S2000s now we've sold it...
