In my view - 3 most underrated mods for any car: (1) LSD (2) Uprated clutch (3) Uprated engine mounts. No matter the car and whilst not "power mods" will change any car you put them. Would love to see the LSD on this thing. Great video's by the way - enjoying tuning in from the UK 👍

What exactly is A LSD? and what doesnit do after changing it to lsd? I know its a limited slip differential just mot sure what the improvement on adding it would be

[@troyjones5422]

@@Mizsteakz An LSD connects both the front wheels when flooring it, giving the car much more grip.

[@chrismichaelyoung]

Honestly yeah I feel like an LSD would take off at least half a second on his 0-60 with both wheels putting power down, might be the next mod he really needs to do. Not to mention it would probably make the launch much more consistent

[@AK88onCars]

@@Mizsteakz I think a few others have said it, but on a FWD car it will reduce torque steer and improve 0-60 massive. On a rear wheel drive car, it does much the same but stabilises the rear so much more. Confidence will improve greatly. On a FWD car of anything over 300bhp, really needs one - otherwise you'll be getting 1/4 mile times less then a RWD car with half the horsepower.

[@MiguelLopez-xx7li]

I just bought this car myself for $300 off my relative and horrible condition. I love this series cause now I can have step-by-step guide on everything I wanna do it.

[@Redbullet242]

For all the young car guys/gals watching, $25k sounds insane. BUT, if you're building a car you love then you'll be doing this over years time. The time spent wrenching on the car builds a bond that you cannot buy off the lot.

[@shiftymiata]

I've said it before, but ny favorite part of every Sunday is watching gingium after I get out of the shower lol. Legit the only content creator that I feel is worth the Patreon subscription 👍

[@Fhwgads11]

Personally, I think you're going about trying to justify the total invested cost all wrong. IMO, the trick is to just NEVER do the math, then you never feel bad about spending more in mods than the car originally cost! If you do end up doing the math though, the trick is to compare it to more expensive hobbies. For example, when I felt bad about spending as much as I did on the wheels on my Fit, I told myself, "This is still cheaper than owning a horse" and didn't feel so guilty :) Great vid BTW, would love to see the accord at a prepped track someday

[@RagingBullNuts]

Hobbyists spend way more for things they hold with one hand lol

[@dancearoundtheworld5360]

and it be cheaper if you didnt run so much fluff

[@future62]

It's always worth doing the math. Value is subjective so even if he spent more than the car is worth it can still be worth it to him. But he should keep track of the spend and manage costs. Not doing so is a great way to go broke. When I look back at what I spent on cars/bikes I regret a lot of it. It's def worth interrogating every purchase and having some kind of long term plan, with flexibility to pivot when you change your mind and want to move on.

[@RollieBeatz]

Yea bro i always use that horse excuse too, always works ✅✅

[@Astrothunder_]

only issue is being into cars, whether its for tuning or just visual mods, its prob one of the most expensive normal hobbies a guy can have. I cant wait til I have enough money to ACTUALLY do half the shit I want to 😂😂

Enjoyed this series. I'm glad the algorithm suggested your channel!

[@JamesYoung61]

You should put a Quaife ATB in that, it not only helps you put the traction down when you accelerate but has the same effect on the front brakes, you can feel it share the load when one wheel tries to stop all the braking transfers to the other wheel with grip before the ABS kicks in, the steering wheel gives a little kick to let you know what is going on. I have had one in my Golf for 15 years.

[@TheEvilTwinCG2]

Yea, our boosted J’s are a pain to get traction. The best 1/4 time on the draggy was a 12.8 and 112 on Toyo RR at 10psi. I’ve broken 3-4 gear like 8x now. Since I’ve up the boost, I’ve put in synchrotech synchros, 3-4 straight cut gears, and 6th gear cuff.. with a Spec 2+ clutch kit and flywheel setup. It drives great now even with double the boost. When I was n/a with fbo in my j35 98 accord sedan I’ve managed a 13.3@108 on street tires. But your car looks and sounds very good.

Hi, I have 2 cm8/6mt's Accords . One I modified and one I left oem. I wanted to be able to see my modifications in contrast.

Can you stiffen the rear shocks a bit? Usually helps with front-wheel traction as the rear wants to squat and take weight off the front wheels. Rear squat is ideal for RWD as that's where the traction is, but you want to avoid it for FWD.
