tighten your throttle cable

if you don't care about cosmetics, i'd say gut the damn thing! i swear it would be such a different car afterwords. alot of people on here don't truly comprehend the difference weight makes on a car. taking out pounds increases your acceleration breaking performance and weight distribution... or just put in a pair of 15" subs in the trunk with fifty plasmas plastered across the entire interior.lol...that will get you from point a to point b faster.lol

HAHA

Cleared headlights, throttle cable, both free. If you nave a TINY bit of cash, spend $20 and you have enough primer, sandpaper, and paint to do the center console, gauge bezel trim, door handle trim, and vents. Probably have enough to paint some engine bay parts too. Oh and if you're feelin gutsy, LED console conversion parts (LED's and resistors) aren't that expensive either, probably $20 as well (soldering iron extra). Want more? Take apart the intake and remove the resonator for a throatier sound - no power gains though.

If hes gonna spend 20.00 he could get a grounding kit. It's kinda noticeable especially in shifting.

how do i take the resonator out? i've had the big black pos out of the car before but i put it back on cause i got yelled at by the cops. if i could gut it i would be safe but it looks like its molded together.

 
Rep Power: 368

I dunno, I yanked the whole thing cause I have a CAI. But if I recall correctly the tubes are merely joined by friction.

i understand how to take it out, but is there a way to take the stuff on the inside out?

oh yeah thats what im talkin about that would be like 60 hp, or 20 hp per dollar thanks alot!!!

whatever you do, don't take out the resonator. if you do, at least run a heatproof tube to a cool spot. just taking it out will make you lose a very good amount of low end power. i took it out but i ran a tube which cost me 10 bucks. check out my gallery pics. the bottom line is don't experiment with the intake. either leave it stock or get an intake. i just got a K&N FIPK II.

Replace the stock filter. That costs what, $14?

gutting it sounds like a good idea.... but the girlies in college might not dig it...

does tightening the throttle cable feel better when acceleratinG?

adjusting pressure in your tires will give you the most performance effect, and its free, wait, you have to invest in a pressure guage though

isnt there also an exhaust resonator you can remove?
