Default What to do?

Hey i just had a new stage 2 clutch put in... wow what a difference from stock, haha. I was just wondering what the next thing would be to do to bump up my acceleration a little, i dont really need/want to go any faster, i just want to give it a lil more "umph". Can u gear up the tranny a bit, or not. Im not that great with the transmission stuff, so any advise would be great. Thx

Realize that red lights on the front of a car are not street-legal (anywhere in the USA anyway.)

Yea i am aware of that, i already got the drl s, and the side marker lights hooked to a on/off switch. They just look badass with the red in the front lights, i saw a pic on another forum and it was bitchin' haha

O yea i slightly disagree with u mk, you can have red in the front as long as the bulb isnt flashing, and if u cant actually see the bulb... I had a neon bar in my front grill(red) awhile ago and i got a cop gave me a warning cause u could see the bulb, so i just went home and slapped some electrical tape on the bar and i havent been botherd since haha.

get an A2 head and make some power. a "stage 2 " clutch doesnt make your car faster.

I didnt say it was any faster i jast said there was a big difference, currently i have the following mod: Cold air intake, skunk2 exhaust, stage 2 clutch, throttle body spacer, Hi-Flow cat, and skunk2 headers, and soon to be Reflashed ECU. What would be the next thing to do? I was thinkin mabe 750cc injectors, or a LSD. what do u think...? Any advise would be great. thx

750cc injectors would support around 400whp, maybe more. i suspect that your k20a3 is making around 125whp. injectors is not the way to go. if you want to get some usable power, and a head swap isnt in your budget, try hondata kpro.

Illegal lights that are merely switched off are still technically illegal. They have to be covered up with opaque covers while on the road so even if switched on no light will come out. Any sort of red light flashing or not visible from the front is only allowed on ambulances, fire trucks, and police cars.

Well i got pulled over last night(speeding haha) and i asked the cop about the lights and he said as far as he knows u can have any solid color in the front, just as long as it ISNT 1. More than one color, 2. Flashing or blinking, and 3. projecting outwards, but he said he didnt know about anywhere else.
