short ram is gonna hurt your car more than help it at this point..

and i'd rather stick to doing maintenance on the car before doing any performance...

why waste money on the car when you don't kno what its been through and what maintenance it hasn't gone through when you can rather use the money to make it live longer and then mod it.

Was the full 100k service done? How stringent are you with your maintance? I have 180K on mine with an AEM V2 and a few other "little" things done and it runs flawless. I also drive it like a baby and am a FREAK about maintaining it. These cars truely are as great as you want them to be provided you take care of them.

What's your budget?
Define "performance"? - go fast or handling

power or handling..

i'd do a mix of both...

F2 coilovers type I cuz they're cheap and good for its price..
rear sway bar.. Front Strut bar.


headers if you can find some in the black market...


CAI, Pulley, Custom 2.5 to 2.25 to 2.25 inlet mufflers to 3.75 or watever outlet exhaust... IM/TB spacers.. RandomTech High flow cat...

Tell 'em Josh... convince him. SUPERCHARGER If you were interested in it, know that your TL-P has 9.8:1 compression so it would handle it well

OT...but I just now..after YEARS of being here, noticed that NSXNEXT has a TL I Deserve Ban.
