Easy question for ya...
Okay, so my mate has just got his em2 coupe. 01 model. He wants a list of simple mods he can do to add some BHP. He doesnt want to spend too much $$$$'s. Parts are rare for the car in the UK anyway.
So what engine mods should he do?
Cheers peeps

ok i guess ill be the 1st to not be a dick lol
your going to get alot of the d17 doesnt respond well to bolt ons, and well they are right. if your friend really honestly wants to put some money into the car go with an intake header exhaust. with those mods you will maybe net 4-5 wheel horsepower. but in my opinion where the em2 really shines is its capabilty to handle. tell your friend to look into upgrading his rear sway bar with an rsx type s 19 mm rear sway. look into upgrading the front pads and as for suspension i recomend tein super streets. but for a beginner set up go for some eibach sportlines and some tockio blues.

Woohoo, another UK member!! The first thing your friend can do is sell his OEM tail lights to someone from here. PM me and I can help get them shipped for cheap (US forces, stationed in the UK).
No kidding parts for that car are rare over here.
Anyway, muge' covered the easy stuff.
