i got a type-r which is pretty much stock with only a custom air filter and vtec/fuel controller. i am in need of mods but i only have a budget of $800AUS. what mods can i buy that can gain serious power

 

Is this for real? Who is this? Is this Opie fooling around?

You know, I'll never forgive you aussies for exporting this crap to the US:




I really think Fosters is Austrailian for urine.

For $800AUS (US$580) nothing you could buy is going to give serious power gains....for serious power gains you'd need to add a '0' to the end of that Get an exhaust and up your budget and get a header (extractor) and get your car on a dyno and use your vtec/air/fuel controller to have it set up properly.

Blasphemy!!!! I'd give my right nut if I could find a way to get my hands on Castlemaine XXXX here in the states. That's my favorite beer, period!

P.s. Sorry to get off topic, but finding XXXX has been something of a life quest for me.

 

After careful thought, I don't feel so bad.

I mean ****, we export Budweiser and MGD.

But does anyone buy it more than once?

None. Serious power is about the right combination of parts.

 

Keep it stock and save your money

THIS cracked me up...

 

Australia is Sailor Heaven!!

 

Get a fresh set of brake pads and fluid, then head to a few track days. Mod yourself into a better driver, then worry about the ITR later...

Oh, and throw away that vtec controller. Those things are damn near useless with the OBD-II ecu your R has.

 

Brake Pads = $100 USD
Brake Fluid = $15 USD
Vinyl Magnetic Numbers = $30 USD
Track Club Membership = $50 USD

Meeting experienced drivers who can help you learn your car = $priceless


Go get some experience driving the car, with whatever reputable clubs there might be over there. Learning techniques from people who are advanced drivers is worth more than adding 5-8whp from a header.

If you really want to get parts to make you go faster in a straight line, go with a K&N drop-in filter, and some type of used header.

Agreed

Invest in the driver and seat time. "Serious Power" mods usually cost Serious Money when done correctly.

 

you could prolly get a decent header for that $.....

and a final drive...

Not together, for $800? Regardless, neither are "serious power" as he originally stated. But what really is for that kind of money, Nitrous for the straight line runs?
