Super excited that my Acura is about to hit 300k miles. I want to celebrate it in a good way. My ideas are taking it to a meet and racing, taking a long road trip out to Tahoe, doing a top speed run as it hits 300k (though obviously illegal, complicated, dangerous, and I feel like a pic of me doing a top speed run isn't a wise idea if I'm going to be sharing on facebook...)

Let's hear some good suggestions.

It has weaponR header, high flow cats, hondata reflash, 9lb aluminum flywheel. I absolutely beat on this car every day and it still loves to hit the limited top speed of 142. Love this car!

Or shove birthday cake up the intake?

I get what you're saying but the only way I'm intentionally killing it is a 150shot of nitrous

Re-enact Back to the Future by hitting 88mph exactly at 300,000.

It's a TSX. It's an 04 though so I need an 07-08 ECU for flashpro to be able to give it a proper dyno tune (reflash was before headers and cat--not sure if it even matters), but if I got my hands on one I'd do the K20/K24 frankbuild with RSX cams.

I'd love to do forced induction but I met a guy at a meet--500hp turbo TSX and it was sexy AF (blue too--my favorite) but I was disappointed to hear that his top speed was still limited at 142. So I will admire, but if I'm gonna spend the money on forced induction I'd much rather put twin turbos on the G37 and turn it into even more of a drift monster

There has to be a way to get around the limited top speed.

my suggestion is to get something else because your daily driver is about to become a yard car

You live in Denver? Take it out to Bandimere and do some racing. They have street legal racing several times a year and I've heard the payout is decent.
