Hi everybody,
I just bought a 98 EX as my daily driver. I plan on putting most of my money into my other car, but this thing sure could use some help. Which inexpensive mods will give me the most bang for the buck as far performance. I tried doing a search prior to posting, but if i missed something already posted I appologize in advance.

welcome to the forum. two of the cheapst mods are a short ram or a cold air kit and exhaust

 

Whats your other car? a civic can run real fast but it does need some money put into it.

 

Beside the CAI or SRI, look into a new set of headers and exhaust.

 

i would go with a new exhaust first and then a good cold air intake

welcome

 

Thanks for the welcome everyone,

My other car is an '05 Lotus Elise that I just added an LSD to. So that's my money pit at the moment. Will the CAI or exhaust actually gain hp or torque? Or will it just make it sound better? Not trying to sound smart, but the Lotus ECU recalibrates after about 100 miles and you end up with zero gain.

Thanks again,
Knucklehead

 

It wont do much if at all... but it will make it sound like it has somewhat bigger *****.

 

Yeah I'm not really looking to make any kind of statement with this car. The less attention the better actually. I just want it to go faster without spending too much $$$. I would like this to be more of a sleeper car.

Thanks,
Knucklehead

 

Well as long as you dotn put a huge wing on it and make it a bright color, it will look nice.
