How do you build up any Auto Trans. for upped power?
** "Swap to stick" doesn't solve the problem, so leave that cat in its bag. **
Anyways, I drive a 03 V6 Accord coupe, and I can't particularly claim that I am proud of the power it puts out.
I enjoy driving auto. I don't miss clutching at all. I'm not a racer, and my Accord will never be a track car. And, even though it may sound like it, I'm ~not~ an -------! :P
I glanced over LevelTen.com, didn't get much of a hardon.
Magnus Motorsports only mentions transmissions in the same sentence as clutch, so I don't even need to email them.
I remember a while ago, I stumbled on a thread about Turbo auto vs standard, and someone linked to a site, really exciting, and said something in his post along the lines of "so to me, auto > stick, forget about manual" but, after roughly two hours of searching, I've given up.
So any advice other than "swap it," "buy a new torque convertor," "add a cooler," or "shift kit?"
Or at least some in-depth explinations on mods for autos. I've got plans for my Accord, but I don't need an 11 second track car. But this isn't about the motor or increasing its output, its about the Automatic, which I have no knowledge on.
Thanks folks.

Destined for failure? Approaching 80,000 miles, and the car runs as perfect as I can tell.
What's with the hate for anything non-Civic or Integra pre 1992?
Anyone can point me to the learn all of modding autos for power?

honda auto transes are gay, dno' ttry and make it better it wont work, if you don't want to swap it then enjoy your 17 second car. you could put a body kit on it, that would be cool
