If you're happy with the stock power for now, just upgrade your handling and stiffen it up a bit and get better tires. Code in some comfort features (mirror dip, windows down with key fob) aesthetic upgrades or add a JB4 to start if you're worried.

This is sound advice, OP. I’ve been running a JB1 Flawlessly on my R since 2017. It gives it some much needed spunk for the type of driving I do.

But after 3 years, I’m brining my car in to HPA today (9am PT) for my full Stage 2 project.

And since, you mentioned warranty. My car is a 2016, bought CPO in 2017. I spent almost $5000CAD on an extended warranty (5 additional years) thinking I’d keep it stock (thanks Petrolicious). Turns out, money just comes out my ass randomly.

Good luck!
