I'm a newbie (seeking advice)

I'm new to this and I just purchased an 02' CL Type - S with 100k miles. Car is completely stock and is in great condition. I was thinking about adding a few performance mods. What would you guys recommend as my first few mods. Put into consideration that I'm only looking to spend 3k or less right now only because I just got this baby.

I would start saving up for a transmission. You'll soon find out that Hnda was very innovative in the late 90s and early 00s by inventing a way to make their transmission internals out of glass.

from what i have read install headers, remove resonator, insert gas, have fun.

with 100k, your coming up on plugs and a timing belt/water pump, misc etc... might want to make sure the maintenance is caught up. change brake fluid and oils.

Best mod you can do is 6 speed swap.

Headers, Intake, Exhaust, Pulley.

Just plan ahead for transmission failure. You need to dump car before it fails or have funds to replace when needed.
