New Member looking for ideas

I just brought a 1996 3.2 TL with 50k . It really gets up and goes, but while driving it gave me a slight urge to be faster any ideas fellas? Im used to driving my e55 so anything to make it faster would be excellent. Its also a pretty ugly car so anything to make it look nicer would also be appreciated. If you any point try to insult me or my integrity you WILL BE BRUISED! I didnt get this name in Pre-school for no reason!

Ha douche! Seriously, you supposedly have an e55 but you buy an "ugly" 13 year old car and want to make it go faster and look better. Then you say that you don't want to be insulted? Give me a fuckin' break and grow the fuck up. And by the way, what are you gonna do - drive to MTL to "bruise" me?!

Um, drive your e55.

BTW Just in case you were temporarily blind when you purchased the car: Its 13 years old. It weighs nearly 4000lbs and has 200bhp. This is not a "go fast" vehicle. One would think that you would have done some research before purchasing it - but apparently you did not, otherwise you wouldn't have posed such a ridiculous series of questions.

So I pose a slightly less ridiculous question: What would posess some one to buy a car they thought was ugly and slow?

Also, please try to refrain from e-thugging. As funny yet particularly pointless as I may find it, other members may be offended by your empty threats.

Not a great way to start posting on any forum. Personally I'll never buy a car which I think is ugly, let alone making it faster... On a second note, its suppose to be a luxury cruiser not some hot rod or sport sedan. You can do a type 2 IM which doesn't really add that much power but enough to have some fun OR 3.5 swap...

Welcome to the boards!

We will help you if you are nice to us. We do not appreciate people that don't want to help other and that call people out. We do not need that nonsense and garbage to spam our forum.

Anyway...

You have a beautiful car. You just need to mod it to look nice.

You have a 3.2 so you can get a SRI or custom make a CAI. You can also add the Legend Type-II intake manifold which will give you ~ 8 more hp. You can put Legend Type-II calipers on to increase the brake system and also add drilled/slotted rotors.

You can drop it. Put some wheels on it. You have many options since the 3.2 is a 5-lug.

You can debadge it, remove the pinstripe if you have one, LEDs, add clear bumpers and Inspire tails. You can also check out the DIY section for DIY that will completely change the look the of the car.

GL with it.

you can badge your car amg, that will add like 50 hp. You almost sound like "kipchonge" from the W210 amg section on benzworld.

is this kid serious? if you are used to driving your E55, then drive the E55... or did it break down on the side of the road and won't start anymore and that is why you bought a reliable 13 almost 14 year old Acura???

Welcome to the forums for what its worth.

If you actually DO want to make your car go faster, then let us know how much money and time you're willing to put into it.

I guess he's just some idiot going around forums saying how he bought a better car than us (50k miles) yet insulting it at the same time (slow and ugly) and how he is far superior than us (e55) so if we mess with him he'll beat everyone up (bruise) because he's gangster (nickname from pre-school).

I almost got an E55 years ago, but it was too ugly and slow, so I got a Carrera GT instead. I recently picked up an E55 guys, any ideas how to make it faster and look better?
