$800 lying around..

So lets say you had 800-900 dollars just sitting around, waiting to be spent on your car. What would you do?..

Since your an 06 at hondata shouldnt be a problem, and an intake.

If you want to keep things stock in performance, than go with aspec suspenion for handling or
aspec body kit.

Go for a wet nitrous set-up if you want serious power. A 50 shot should be fine on the TSX with no ECU modifications.

Why do you have a problem with nitrous on a TSX? Tampa TSX Girl was running a Zex wet kit 50 shot on her car just fine. Its a great way to get some extra horsepower on demand.

Define how you say her car was "just fine". Sure, it hadn't blown up yet, but no one with nitrous can do the proper tuning on the car yet. That's a risk I'm not willing to take on my $30k daily driver.

A-spec body kit and rear sway bar.

OR

suspension upgrade with sway bar

OR

Help your parents pay your insurance for 6-12 months to show how grateful you are for the TSX.

I would invest it or save it until you have enough to get all the parts you want in one fail swoop, because let's face it all of the parts listed do better when used together.

DC header
Comptech or Progress RSB

Those 2 items are easy to install, so you can save some cash on labor as well.

After that, put rest in savings. Start teaching yourself that everytime you get a good bit of money, enjoy it a little and put some of it away.

If your looking into appearance get the A-Spec kit which will run u about 850 from what I hear from other members. I paid much more than that for my kit... definitely worth it

As other memebers have pointed out, Intake and reflash for performance

Tein Basics if you want some looks and better handling. I think this is the choice I would go with, I regret not going coilovers
