aldouse Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 easiest mods: - shortshifter / bushings - washers in the exhuast flanges (search it) - intake/panel filter - pulleys - AP (if applicable) most people i've noticed on the forums tended to go route of: - AP - suspension - UP/DP - etc. -- yay for the sig! -- my garage!

kanoswrx Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 I would say the easiest mod for the most performance would be Access Port. You don't have to get your hands dirty at all. Then the next best bang for the buck would be a downpipe, doesn't take long to do, plus since you already have a AP you will then be able to go to stage 2 Then the next thing, new wheels and tires, very simple as well, may even want to do this before the access port. And if you want better handling even more, buy a take off JDM GT or Spec B suspension, easy bolt on mod if it comes pre-assembled like mine did with tops hats and everything.

Beanboy Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 Easiest and by far the most fun is a driver upgrade! How about hitting up a track or autocross school? -B http://www.standardshift.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NutBucket Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 easiest mods: - washers in the exhuast flanges (search it) - pulleys Washers in the exhaust flanges are a Rice mod. There is zero performance gain. Pulleys aren't exactly easy simply because the crank pulley can be (is usually) a pain to remove. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xenonk Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 Easiest and by far the most fun is a driver upgrade! How about hitting up a track or autocross school? +1 but if you want to spend money on the car itself, the Access Port.. next would be swapping out the tires and brakes.. nothing is more fun than actually putting all that power down to ground and make the car go.

Waxiboy Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 +1 for AP...I think this mod will give you the most HP gain for every penny. Plus the capability to adjust for future mods is already there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
