DC Sports ceramic headers, Hondata (if you can afford it), and suspension upgrades (springs, camber kit, strut bars, Type-S rear sway).

 

hondata.

If you want turbo, I have a kit for sale in my sig.

Hondata is fun too.

 

I was told that with hondata, if you go on mountain runs and such and you keep your car at high rpms in V-TEC range and you keep it there, its actually reeaall bad for the car due to the mapping or some crap. Is this true?

I would worry more about sliding off of a cliff on a 'mountain run' than I would about the Hondata harming your motor.

Not the way I would go about making power, but whatever floats your boat. Used parts, mybe spending the extra cash would be a better way. When concerning your engine.

 

nitrous is completely safe when used properly, no diff then any other power adder. It is usually the greedy that pay for new motors, someone hits a stock block with 100 or hp and burned rods are coming yer way, no diff then turning up the boost too much. The most common cause of failure is a part malfunctioning, such as a solenoid, so rebuild them often and no worries, also a hobbes switch is a must, it turns off the nitrous if it detects fuel pressure below a set level.

Yeah, I know. I did alot of research on it before. Good cheap way for power, just don't like having to go and refill the tank. Also to have to endure all the jokes and comments from others. Damn movie, that movie has given us all a bad name (image).

 

Who says you tell anyone about it!

stop watching the fast and the furious!! j/k

 

Other than bolt ons learn how to drive the car to its potential. It is free and the best way to make your car go faster.

 

Actually that is really good advice!

 

Take your car to the autocross or drag strip depending on what you're interested in doing to your car. When you've got to the point where you're comfortable doing it, you will find out what you DO need and go from there. Try new stuff out, see what works and truly build up your car they way you want it to behave.
