is a 200k Acura cl 2.3 1998 worth moding?
I've got a Acura Cl 2.3 1998 that's got everything but speed in my opinion. My only issue is it's got alot of mileage. Do you think it'd be worth it to drop in intake, short shifter, headers etc? or should I just crunch down for a bit and buy a diff ride?

new engine or new car,

you decide.

intake and all that would be useless IMHO if you are looking to "go fast"

headers= header(only a 4banger)

anyhow, sell it and get another with lower mileage
or
swap the motor and tranny

cheaper if you sell it and get another one bc all the tuneup and swap...you can get a lower mileage CL
