you can try advancing your timing, but remember 1) this should be done with the proper equipment (ie timing tight), by someone who knows what they are doing and 2) this has its trade offs.

its not wirth it IMO, if your stock/near stock.

Get a spoiler....that will get you at least 20 HP as well......[IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]

But no, seriously, you have to upgrade parts to get the performance out of your engine. ie: I/H/E

adjusting your throttle cable gives you a slightly faster start when you floor it. see the DIY...

Actually it does a little bit, but not too much...I noticed after adjusting mine that I don't have to push the
pedal down as fast or as hard to open the throttle, this in return, gets my car moving faster off the line.....but
Yeh, not by much, but it's worth doing I think...

Is your car a daily driver? If it is, then it wouldn't be practical to remove wieght by removing your back seat, or your passenger seats, door pannels, interior pannels, etc. Pretty much if its a daily driver, you have to get some mods in it...even once you get the mods, you aren't looking at too much power since our cars are soooooo tight in terms of power output...


Need some more info? I'm sure we can give you the specifics on the basic bolt on mods if you want them...

take off your honda emblems, and put on..oh lets say ford emblems. then shave the model emblem and put on a jetta emblem. im sure that'll give you 200+hp easily. oh, and take off your rims also, since our cars got the new "hovercraft" technology no one knows about, it'll glide like a ****. that should be about 5000+hp. have fun!
