What are the first mods everyone did? What gives you the most power?
 

Ok, My R is stock and I want to do some fairly inexpensive mods to make her a little faster. What did you guys do and what gave you the mosr power?

AEM or any other kind of Cold Air Intake.

Tightened the throttle cable...

i 2nd that.

I third that.

Its free, but no power is gained. Advance your timeing to 18 or remove your powersteering for free power.

It's all about power-to-weight ratio: remove the spare and jack and buy puncture seal.

Tightening the cable removes the play for better throttle response.

how do you tighten the cable?

Adjust the two nuts on the throttle linkage. If you look at it it's obvious. Be careful not to make it too tight, it will effect your idle if you do.

How do you know how tight it is? Torque specs?

The basics Intake / Header / Exhaust

Re: What are the first mods everyone did? What gives you the most power? (CW-ITR-329)
 

My first mod was a AEM cold air intake. There are many other choices such as the Comptech Icebox and the Injen coil air intake. After that you can get a header and exhaust.

If you want a free mod take off the power steering belt, good for 2 hp.

I changed the shift knob and pedels for better control. more control more speed

Yeah just take the belt off so you still push the fluid through the pump and the wheel is hard as hell to turn. If you wanna remove your power steering do it right and remove everything.

aem cai 9hp

Re: What are the first mods everyone did? What gives you the most power? (Unlimited)
 

do you have the dyno? I was thinking more around the lines of ~3-5 whp for a CAI. I have the injen CAI and I can barely feel the difference, and trust me it's no 9whp.

CW-ITR-329, I would take off the power steering if I were you. I just did it a couple of days ago and you get a better feel for the road along w/increased power(also it's free). The best mods that I have done so far are 1st- toda flywheel/clutch JDM final drive, 2nd- JDM Mugen 4-1 header, 3rd- PS removal, and last Injen CAI
