Remove airbox lid..
According to Billman, removing the airbox lid reduces HP. If I'm not mistaken I think he said 12-15hp? My S came without the lid. Once I read that from Billman, I bought a lid ASAP.

The Basic mods just like any other Honda but a lil bit more expensive

Intake
Header
Exhaust

if you have a 06 and up ap2 get a flashpro and tune it

Good tires and a nice suspencion is always good

Ummmm yea, you should eventually drop that shit. Just dont buy Ebay no name springs for your oem struts. a nice set of coilovers <$1500 will provide you better handeling. But only as much as ur tires will allow

probably just start out with a K&N and a flashpro, i will look into the testpipe vs. header/exhaust in the future. Seems to be some varying opinions about the Flashpro so i will need to do some research on it before buying. It is a very nice car so i don't want to blindly hack into it. Will need to slap a nice set of tires on it soon also.

Dont waste money on an intake especially if you're going boost down the road. The Oem box is an awesome piece.

The car stock is much better than most of us drivers (myself included); why not spend your money improving the likely weakest link: the driver? AutoCross schools; track days with instructors; track days driving solo for practice after the instructors sign off on you.

You'll likely get the biggest bang for you buck now. The best part: the improvement transfers to every car you own for the rest of you life.
