What parts would you use? Meaning, make a dream list of all the goodies you would buy to create your ultimate ride.

 

everything gold pated

 

supercharger, coil-overs, a bit wider rims in back....the car would rock with that stuff alone

have opera do their thing to the frame of the car ($30k+)

APR widebody w/ ASM front/rear bumpers

all motor hytech build

and i'd be pretty happy

 

Its called swiss cheese, you can do it yourself if you're feeling adventurous.

 

I'd use a V6 out of an NSX if it would fit. I'd also yank the A/C, use billet aluminium A-arms instead of the cast iron ones along other suspension mods, stiffen the chassis and probably more if I thought about it for a while.

Stock Base model 08. It's just fine as is. Screwing with forced induction may upset the great balance of the car. The straight line gains wouldn't be worth it. Suspension? Why would you think a backyard tuner with no real education or training could buy a bunch of random aftermarket bolt on parts and improve on what some of the best automotive engineers on the planet have designed? Again, I'd be worried that you'd upset the great balance between performance and driveability that Honda has achieved.
