Pushing the Envelope
Out of my own morbid curiosity -- If you could do anything to your TSX, what would you do?
some things that just popped into my head were:
awd conversion
lambo doors
turbo/supercharger
even hondata would be nice for me
extensive weight reduction via carbon/kevlar
I'm not sure how expansive our car's capabilities are, but it never hurts to brainstorm.

Im with you...well not the lambo, but the AWD.
I would buy a subie STI crate engine and go to town, that 300HP/300fpt with awd would be sick on the tsx. I would also swap out the interior with the A-spec concept cars interior.
Then I would rally it

My vote is for AWD, but if I was gonna add that, I'd also want another 50 or 60 hp to go with it. But I have a feeling we may come close to this with the next TSX.

I'd swap in a new 6th gear so I can get >35 mpg on the highway. I know we don't have a lot of torque down low, but couldn't I do 2k or 2.5k rpms at 70 mph instead of 3k?
At least it's not as bad as my girlfriend's Jetta...
If anything were possible, I would like to significantly decrease the weight without sacrificing the luxurious interior.

Definite +1 on the LSD...
A DC5 Quaife LSD (along with a few other transmission mods) could be a possibility for me in the future...

Me ... I'd like Hondata reflash (without the wait), tighter suspension, a better stereo, and a defector screen/force field that prevents the NC yellow spring pollen cloud from touching my car.

lets see, RWD conversion, Manual, Custom Turbo, better suspension, More power...Nice stereo,
James Bond "Vanish" stealth technology, custom trunk that have hidden drawer for a nice tightly sealed suits, gadgets and more lol.

I'd want a much quieter cabin, and for possibly a first to say out loud: TSX-hybrid. Low end torque galore, better MPG.

Since I have a 2005 TSX, the only thing I'd ask for is BT and MP3 capability. But that's all going to be solved, since I've ordered the Alpine eX-10

^^ I really like the paint on that Ferrari.
For the TSX:
RWD or SH-AWD options.
4 or 6 cylinder option.
Turbo option.
A stiffer chassis.
Higher quality interior.
LSD. hehe
Major soundproofing.
Better quality paint.
More gizmos so I don't have to buy all these modules.
Camera, etc.

Reality:
LSD
Forced Induction
Sound Proofing
Navi retrofit
Carputer
BBK with a bigger MC
Dream:
Drop the S2K drivetrain in it and then turbo charge it
Reclining back seat like the G35
A 7-speed manual
