Ok i just went out and bought a $20 Ebay intake for my GS so i don't feel bad about strapping this cheap intake into my car...and so i can find some more economic upgrades

I want to know what was the cheapest mod you did to your car!!

CHEAPEST: Good cleaning, inside and out. Painted the writing on my tires white- looks badass.

MOST EXPENSIVE: Motor swap- upwards of $4500, all said and done. (and counting). It was worth it. Drove it the first time this weekend.

cheaper mods you can do without ricing out the car:

- insulated manifold gasket
- tb coolant bypass
- weight reduction as far as comfort will allow you
- simple green and hose down your engine bay
- seafoam
- replace sway bar bushings

i can't think of any more.. i know there's a ton.

Dang, how was that?! Must have felt awesome... I remember when I first got the cams set up right and had 24whp and 16wtq more and it felt like a new car. So for you it must have been.... :eek

FREE:

-Weight reduction including (but not limited to) removal of A/C, cruise control, sound deadening, rear wiper, etc. Seats, spare tire, etc. also removed for autocrosses.
-Coilover corner-weighting (well, it was free for me )
-Some little cosmetic details given to me by friends incl. red A badge, polished oil cap, S2000 antenna, Spoon reservoir socks, PIAA Hyperwhite bulbs (damn my friends rock!)

CHEAP (not including parts I got from friends for free):

-Hondata IM Gasket - $60, cheaper now I think
-Rear trunk brace - $5 (DIY)
-'93-94 Prelude VTEC front calipers and 11.1" rotors - $100 from friends
-Power steering loop/breather kit - $70
-Black-housing "halo" headlights with black-housing bumper lights - $50 + stock exchange (friend)
-Painted side skirts - $25
-Painted brake calipers and hub - $10
-Chrome instrument rings - $20
-Hawker Genesis 13lb battery - $80
-Lamin-X yellow headlight film for high-beams - $15
-Magnetic race numbers DIY from Home Depot heat vent covers - $8
-Autocross race fee - $25-30 (best "mod" ever)
