Acutally now that I think about it, it may not look like that on the left. But you can tell when you look under your hood. Its comon sense really. You just have to look at it in person and you will get it.

Yeah, it's a cold start up thing that they did. Just helps to warm things up a bit quicker.

It's there to ensure that the throttle plate doesn't stick. If such a situation should occur, you're stuck at, say, at WOT and cant do anything about it. That == Bad. That should only occur in climates where freezing temperatures are common. For us SoCal ppl, that's nothin to worry about :3. Good luck and happy modding XD

For free or cheap mods, there's always debadging (if you like that look), painting interior or engine pieces. On painting the valve cover, I learned that when you take it off, you break the gasket seal and need a new one because it will leak when you put it back on, a new gasket costs like $79. Not cheap I found out. If you have the tools, you can take your intake manifold off and port it yourself. Everyone says that's a lot easier than it looks. Lot's of how-tos on here and yo get more gains than paint lol.

maybe at the end of summer. I have no money, want to buy cams, and need to buy a laptop. Slamming it isn't a top priority. The ride height is OK now, BUT it would look a lot better lowered.

Cheap fun mod. Find the local quarter mile and bracket race. Lots of fun and you learn how to launch properly plus if you get good you can make a couple bucks. Its easy with an auto.

Modding the driver=best mod for money
