Hey, i was just wondering what i should to my car to get more of the good look and power. I have the 2.2L VTEC Engine, but i dont know what series the engine is. How can i check this? Also, i have an aftermarket exhaust and air intake. Should i go for new headers next? or should i contemplate an engine swap? Im pretty novice at the car scene so if their are any resources where i could learn to do things myself, please hook me up.

Welcome to the world of Honda and Accords. You can find your engine code on the block. Just lift your hood and look down on the engine where the tranny and engine meet up. I'm going to take a guess here and say you still have the factory F22, SOHC(single over head cam). A good starter for what you can do or what can be done with Honda motors is the book "Honda/Acura Performance". It goes over all the basics and what you can expect from them realistically. It won't teach you how to do the job but will make you understand whats involved and put you in the right direction. By the way it would be a header not headers; the latter would mean two seperate exhaust ports such as a V engine configuration. You'll learn. As to looks, thats entirely up to you. There are several bodykits available for the 5th generation Accord as well as lip kits. If you would like to see examples of practically all of them stop by Accordracing.com, or Accordinglydone. Both site are dedicated to only Accords so both are filled with the knowledge you seek right now. I can be found regularly at the first one, same screen name. Good luck.
