here's a good link. has DIY's on alot of mods. rules for trial users, etc.

not really gonna get alot of gains out of the R18 motor. i/h/e will make you noisier, but probably not get you the "maximum performance" you're looking for.

Well for one you will only be able to do I/E. The header cannot be modified. Not really much to be had with the R18 as IT stated

yup. header built into head like cutler2start said. There is an aftermarket "downpipe" for the R18 though.

here's a parts guide for the R18:

Yeah and put limo tint and painted white wheels on it?

He didn't ask what he could trade it in for, he asked for mods. Learn to read people.
