Overall performance modifications

Hey everyone,
I am brand new to this forum and fairly new to the TSX; I will be getting one pretty soon and I have just one question.
I really love the balance and subtlety of the engine, suspension, and transmission but i would like some more power. How can I do this without messing up the balance/charachter of the car?
Thanks

with that sort of question that has been asked 1k times since 2004, the typical response is going to be use the Search Function, especially if it is your FIRST post.
| Search | is just below the Acurazine Logo on the left side.... https://acurazine.com/forums/search.php
to find the threads about mods, modifications, etc. start off with a search using keyword: mods

one thread is a good starter:
Rank your mods

Welcome!

To avoid upsetting the balance of the car, focus on items that complement what you believe the nature of the car is. If you like the performance nature of the car, focus on products that will provide a solid performance gain. If you like luxury, focus on products that will add to the luxury nature of the car. If you like balance, look at products like the Hondata reflash, A-Spec suspension, and other very balanced products that enhance the car's performance but do not detract from the luxury nature of the car.

No, you're not. But, I bet you're not the only one who likes the economy and reliability compared to those german cars either.

Precicely, I love the reliability. but not keeping up with a 330 is a little demoralizing.
If only Acura made a V-6 version...........

and why should we be comparing the TSX with a 6cyl 2.8l car?
and I am quite sure that I can fully keep up with a 328i.

a comparible bmw should be the 325i. and a 325i is not in any way faster then the TSX!
