What sounds absolutely retarded is when you get on it... people know its automatic.

Its not really worth the effort to buy "go fast parts for the car"

eventually the auto tranny will start slipping, the honda auto trans are designed for daily driving... not racing around.

Save the money you were going to waste on it.
and put that into your NEXT vehicle which is more performance oriented.

you've got to be kidding, an exhaust might give you 2-5 hp max. Youd have for go forced induction to get 35 hp out of a R18... please, just save your money.

Well your adding a Cai...exhaust etc etc to be "pushing the car"

not for the ultra cool droning sound....

hence the transmission reference.
