i was wondering what kind of n/a upgrades i can get for the j32a1

ive been trying to google things but i cant seem to find anything?

 

Before spending a dime on any mods, I'd be sure to put away $3000 in safekeeping to replace the transmission when it grenades.

 

luckily the car has already had the transmission swapped.

is the transmission from the factory faulty or something?

 

That doesn't guarantee it from not happening again. Some owners have had their tranny replaced 2-3 times.

Bad design on Honda's part.

 

What they said! x1000!!! Make sure you can't even feel the slightest tremble in that trans. When it goes your looking at atleast $3k, more if you go to the dealer. We prob do 2-3 99-03 TL transmissions a week at my dealership, I'm actually the one that bill them out in parts, so I know. Not to scare you away from getting it, if that's what you really want. Just really pay attention to the shifting, normally between 1st-2nd and reverse.

It's funny because "grenades" is a term we use quite often here in our shop.

 

Couple of suggestions if you're still intent on buying one.

1. CarFax/Autocheck report.
2. Check out the service records (if any)
3. Have your mechanic check the car out.
3. The tranny might still have a warranty on it.

I bought my low mileage 39K, excellent condition CL-S about 3 months ago and the original owner had complete service records, transmission warranty to 130K miles and no accidents.
