I am looking for my next mod. I will have two or three track days this year, and do not drive this car a lot. Maybe 5k a year. My list is below with current mods, and I will post at the bottom the parts I have been looking into.

PRL 5" Catted Downpipe
PRL HVI Intake
PRL Titanium Inlet Pipe
PRL Intercooler
PRL Charge Pipes
PRL Front Pipe

Hasport Rear Engine Mount
Chasing J's Titanium Oil Cap
Chasing J's Titanium Dip Stick
Chasing J's Titanium Dress Up Bolts
Radium Engineering Dual Catch Cans
Radium Engineering Radiator Overflow Tank
Acuity Reverse Flow Radiator Hoses

Transmission:
Acuity Full Shifter
Acuity Shift Bushings

PRL Clutch Line

Exterior / Aero:

HEL Performance Brake Lines

1. RV6 ALK (put power to the ground better), and Spoon Rigid Collars F&R
2. J's Racing Grill (to help cool things off)
3. Coilovers
4. Steering Wheel with Works Bell GTC Pop-up, NSX Horn Button, and Hub (from a member here)

change to cae shifter, a racebred splitter because you have a wing in the back and need downforce in the front to match, and possibly get some coilovers

The Racebred Splitter is installed, just no pictures yet. Tell me what is better about the CAE shifter..

The more I think about coilovers, the more I think that might be my route, but I will have to save up a little more.

XDI fuel pump if you're on Hondata. It doesn't show tuning software on your list. Maybe a vented hood or a C&R/PWR radiator to help keep temps down?

I do have Hondata, just forgot to add it. Thanks for the suggestions.

You've done it all very well.

Maybe stop spending so much money on a depreciating assest and assess the fact that more parts don't necessarily equate to increased road performance.

Or at the very least quantify cost versus return.

For example: spoon bumpers are nice and all but is it worth spending 5 figures to make the front end of a buzy looking car look like it got its face squashed in a door?
