Default Cheap mods (New to this forum)

Hey everyone
I have a 92 accord dx. I only have an intake on it so far. I was going to get an exhaust but ran out of money. What do you guys recommend for exhaust? Also I need some ideas of cheap mods. I would like to get into autocross by next year. Thanks for any help.

if you want
a cheap and fast car it won't be reliable
a cheap and reliable car it won't be fast
a fast and reliable car it won't be cheap

that's the saying for car modification. for autocross, get a TL rear sway bar. a good set of shocks and struts and springs. reduce the parasitic drag weight of your car by removing the rear seat panels, the trunk carpet, the spare tire, possibly any speakers. Carbon Fiber hood. get yourself some UR racing pulleys for a quick lift. i hope you have MT.

i don't think he's asking for what you asnwering.

TL rear sway isn't availble for his generation of accord

removal of rear seat panel, trunk carpet and spare tire will remove some weight but what the hell it have to do with parasitic drag?

at autocross, high speed wouldn't be a big factor, people roll in with downtop or open front window and they are doing fine.

remove rear panel without punching hole in the trunk=same effect

that's many thing you could do but if you ask me do this..

stickier tires/R compound

staggered front tires

wider wheel/lightweight wheel

rear sway bar
