A higher reving K23..

 

Either a slightly longer wheel base with same weight ish or an inline 6 cylinder 3.0L vtec engine reving to 9k and shitting all over the E46 M3 motor.

 

Flared fenders from the factory >:]

 

somewhere to stick more girls

 

all CF 1750lbs wet.0-60 in under 4 sec. stock.

 

Coupe/hatch.

More realistically: sunvisors that rotate to the sides!

 

Another vote for torque!

 

I got one. I would like an exhaust note. This is a gripe I have with a lot of the cars on the road today. It's OK to hear a little bit of exhaust.

 

One thing? I love the car, but I can easily make a list....
1. The most cost effective change would have been a taller 6th gear. (No change in cost to the factory, reduced noise & engine wear. Better mpg on highway.)
2. I love the stiff car, but a 2850# 4 cyl? The chief engineer clearly did not understand that the 1st thing you add to a car for fun/performance is lightness. Didn't he ever drive a Lotus?
3. Should have offered a coupe. The OEM hardtop helps, but a hatchback is so much better.
4. Manually adjustable seats- height, rake of bottom, lumbar support. My 01-06 Elantras had this, in a car costing less than half as much. Would have cost pennies.
5. Side air bags, & head curtain on coupe. Worth every penny & ounce if needed.
6. When developing the AP2, Honda should have lowered the start of VTEC. AP2's get only 6k-8k. I think aftermarket mods have proven more power can be had from near 5500 rpm. A smoother entry into VTEC would be safer also.
7. I'm less interested in more power than almost all of you, but less weight I am. I've driven a ~ 1100# SCCA Lotus Seven & a ~ 1400# Lotus Europa. Light weight rules!
Please excuse the rantings of an old man....

 

More motor options. A 6 cyl 330hp would be plenty.
