"3. A cheap modification is the a racing chip. Get a good one! This will adjust your fuel / air mixture for different speeds, optimizing performance."
This doesn't usually do a whole lot until you have other mods for the chip to work with.
Regarding the PVC intake melting, that's one reason you specify CPVC. That's the stuff that's meant for hot water delivery. Gives you several advantages. First, it won't melt. Second, it won't leech chlorates like regular PVC will - chlorate fumes aren't great for your engine, and they take up space that could be filled with oxygen and fuel!. Third, since it's meant for water flow, the interior will be perfectly smooth. Get a 45 degree radius curve (the guy in the plumbing department will know what that is) and you basically have a REALLY cheap mandrel bent intake. And as I said, if you paint it black - especially gloss black - it's very doubtful anyone will even know it's PVC.
I'll second the Jackson Racing recommendation. Those guys are excellent.
another good one is kingmotorsports.com. They have a lot of Accord stuff and they're one of the best Honda tuners on the planet. They're the only dealer authorized to sell Mugen's stuff. Mugen is THE manufacturer of go-fast goodies for Hondas/Acuras. Anyone authorized to sell their stuff is required to be VERY good. They're a great bunch of guys at that shop - strike up an email conversation with them and they'll give you ideas for whatever you want to do with the car. If you want, you can have the quickest Accord on the planet through them (hope you have a lot of money if you go that route though!).
