Alright, 3 days until summer vacation. I will have a lot of time on my hands. There are a couple junk yards here in the Ville to maybe get lancer/mirage parts for. I just need ideas for CHEAP things I can do.

What is done to my car:
Mods in my sig
4 Enkei 16's in Hankook Ventus tires
OEM OZ rally spoiler
Pioneer Premier 470 MP
Kicker 250.2
Infinity Kappa 6.5" components.

What are some REALLY cheap stuff to do to the car? Thinking of spray painting the front grill, valve cover, brake calipers, etc. I can do certain engine mods myself. Such as intake's, TB's, headers, etc. but no internal work.

Would there be any benefit in getting a lancer or mirage downpipe off of a wrecked car and modding that to improve airflow and then bolt straight on?

I NEED SUGGESTIONS! I am bored and broke.

Here is a picture of my car just to see what might look good.

 

black out your headlights. paint or buy clear reflectors to get rid of the ugly orange ones. couple ideas you didnt mention that would make the car look better.

 

appreciate it. Keep them coming!

 

you could allways do window tint. mabey try doing it yourself if your dareing. if not, tint isnt to pricey.

 

ya, I have thought about that. Can you just get those clear reflectors on ebay? I fond em for like $5. Also, I might try to find a ralliart grill and paint it.

 

< has clear reflectors 4 sale.

Try the throttle body bypass mod. Its really easy.

 

How much for reflectors out of curiosity ( although I might not have money for a while) and I have read up on the TB bypass ( which I would love to do ) but am uncertain. Someone said you can do it with existing hoses but I am unsure how. Can anyone put it in simple words?

 

let me do a quick ms paint for you. Its really easy.

 

I am hopefully going to go to the track this summer. Going to try to break into the VERY upper 9's. That would be a huge accomplishment for me. I might need the help of a very aggresive tune, cams, and I might even run a little race gas and mess with timing etc.

 

have that diagram yet?

 

Upper 9's? In the quarter? Thats impossible you know.

Oh here is my weak *** ms paint of the throttle body mod. Just take the long hose from where you remove the short one. Then let the 2nd one complete the loop on the tb so nothing gets inside.

Sorry, I meant to say 1/8 mile

 

what is in the bottom left of each picture?

 

oh ok.

Its a coolant hose. With it set up like this the hot coolant never goes though the throttle body.

 

thanks. I will check that out tomorrow and do it. Will post up on results. What did you notice from it?
