I am new to thie forum and to being a ralliart owner. I love my car! And had a few direct questions. Im plannin gon getting the ams fmic and upper piping. Bc it doesnt require a retune. Im not sure if im ready to start with changing everything. After all i went from owning a 03 civic and this car is a lot faster.

So basically where is a good place to start that will be better off for the car and preparing for a tune without doing so? If that makes sence.


Any imput is good imput. Minus spelling corrections and s**t lol

thanks a lot!

Michelle

also id post pics but im still 100% stock!

Most people are doing the free GST basemap + boost pill as their first "mod". All you need is a Tactrix cable and a laptop and the GST tune will add a bit more power.

Nothing wrong with being stock. Though changing the stock tires is a good first mod.

Do you do your own service work? and pay for everything out of pocket? If not check with your dealer to make sure that mods are ok.

FMIC, and UICP is a good start. A CBE and a drop-in intake filter wouldn't require a custom tune either, so that's always available. With those mods, you'll have some better top end gains on the stock tune. You can always run the GST basemap too.

Nothing wrong with being stock and showing pictures, take some pictures!

Yes the stock tires are a cruel joke.

With winter coming up your could put snow tires on the stockers.

Next year when summer comes around get a new pair of rims with extreme performance summer tires.

Welcome to the forum, and good start go for things that will prove beneficial to the cars life and help improve overall performance, ie the fmic and piping, Exhaust, tires, maybe a drop in air filter or injen cai. No heavy modding required or tune for any of that and the gains from simple things like this are phenomenal
