Dave's advice to the read the thread is a good one. I would also suggest that you don't do anything for a while. Drive it and live with it a bit first and then see where you want to go.

Welcome to the forum. She should have a lot more miles left in her, if you take care of her.

No need for a new engine. Just build it. Do a detailed search in the FI section and you will get most of your answers

I have a 03..70k miles..no problems.A CAI..JMT POPCHARGER IS GOOD.I also run a BERK Z tube with mine.Rims...you ask 10 guys,you'll get 12 opinions.
Personally,I THINK 19'S are the best balance of looks and handling.Of course,the tires you put on e'm is a factor.I'm running Hankook EVO V-12'S.
They are great.The original Bridgestones were terrible.You'll probably be looking into exhaust systems.Again...opinions.Unless you change out your cats and do other mods,aftermarket exhausts are not gonna give you a big
HP BOOST.Cat back to true dual..7-12 hp.Really,its about sound.You want bassy or more of a snarl.I like the snarl/mean sound.Many sound clips online.
I went with the NISMO cat back.Fits like glove.Great quality...A bit pricey.
Sounds&looks great!
