Default Quick Mods

Hey I don't want to spend a lot of money since I am selling my Del Sol soon. I am taking it to the track on Friday and I wanted to know if you all had any suggestions for me such as things to do for performance or how to launch. It has an intake and its the DOHC vtec engine.

nothing really to spend money on since you are selling it soon. Maybe tune up.

New spark plugs, cap & rotor, etc. Basic stuff like that.

I've seen VTECs run anywhere from low-15s stock to high-15s with I/H/E. It all depends on driver, track conditions, etc. If you're running slower than 15s you need some practice probably. As for quick mods, you can take out any interior bits, take out the spare, remove the rear bumper, stuff like that.

Weight reduction is gonna probably be your best "quick" mod.
