Default Cheap upgrades?

I would like to see what other kinds of low cost upgrades people have done to thier car. I/H/E does not count. I would like to hear of things I could spend around or under 100 bucks and spend the night working on. A good example would be the thread on the grounding kit.

I bought a generic teg sized rad for $99 and installed it (in my 5g civic) in less than a day. That's an easy one. I just could'nt stand that little rad.

You can get a B&M FPR and FP guage from summit racing for under 100 shipped. I noticed that vtec pulled a weeee bit harder while i had the FP turned up to 42 psi @ idle. any higher than that i think would just cause the mix to be too rich.

but yeah its easy to do and under 100. yup.

drill holes in the bottom half of your intake box and remove the snorkle/resonator.

then just do a k&n drop in filter... that ought to help out a little...

I did the 15/16ths m/c upgrade, too. Only takes about 15 mins to do, but the part is a little more than $100.
