There are NO cheap mods to increase power. To increase power costs money.
How cheap do you mean?

refering to the intake mod
i wouldn't waste you time i got that thingy...its still in my car...seems to run a bit richer but i don't notice any power....also my fuel aconomy has got better but i think thats because of resetting the ecu after getting a few mods |

how about a basic service if you havn't done one for a while.. new oil, oil filter, spark plugs, leads, air filter, fuel filter, coolant... that should make your car go better if its been a decent amount of time

Remember: MONEY = POWER and vice versa. The e-bay thing, will not work, its a load of s***t. Sort of cheapest mods to do now - exhaust, extractors, headwork and cam.

Well if you fancy yourself as a handyman there is always this option:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Elect...spagenameZWDVW Or if you'd just like to bolt it straight on, i'd go for this little beauty... and u still have $35 left over: http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Electric-Supe...QQcmdZViewItem Last edited by FordFan86; 13-09-2005 at 04:02 PM. Reason: spelling |

BWhahhah you're a classic James. Pure Classic.
/me hands James a FUIC. $300 to spend? Service your car and install a Wade 1004/114.

As for the sticky on mods that are proven, that would be a huge ask! Because one mod for one car might not necessarily work on another car (due to the different combos possible). It is a good idea in theory though. -Dave- |

Before somone makes a BIG MISTAKE.
The refrences to the electric superchargers and "intake resistors" from Ebay are a JOKE. DO NOT GO WITHIN 300feet OF THEM
