cheap/free mods?
 

im broke nd i get bored easy so i need some free or reeeally cheap mods to do on my s13. anybody got ideas? i already did the vertical hood mod, took my spoiler off, painted my wheels, made a new shift boot so im looking for anything else free or really cheap. let me know what u guys have done.

maintenance is a good place to start. clean everything, change the sparkplugs, gut your cat (if your not from california), delete some emissions stuff.

"mods" and "cheap" shouldn't go in the same sentence... unless you finish off your sentence with "unreliable."

^^^^ not true led guages, door inserts, stuff like that

you can sell it to me for cheap. lolololol

or free if you want. thats a mod. makes it invisible. :P

I would say stop by pep boys and get some chrome parts. They are cheap, and look cheap. Hahaha

haha thanks guys. im doing plugs wires cap nd rotor this weekend. can u just change out the gauge bulbs with led ones? nd deleting emissions stuff nd gutting the cat may work cuz i just got it inspected recently so im good for 2 years. wire tucking nd stripping the engine bay of some stuff is cheap nd kinda easy if i dont get a kit right?

wait, you removed an aero piece, so you are making your car less stable.. venting the hood is totally useless on a stock engine, if anything, it will make the engine even less efficient..

First, put your spoiler back on, and seal the hood back up.

you can advance your timing at the distributor, just make sure you run the lowest octane, so you get the hottest burn.. heat makes powa.

take out your thermostat, so you dont have to worry about your engine overheating.

take your knock sensor, and re-locate it to the throttle cable with a zip-tie, that way your engine will run perfectly without any false knock sensor readings from the engine.

a REALLY common mod is to remove the rear brake calipers, lines, rotors, hard piping, and just seal up the master cylinders rear port with a plug, costs like 87 cents from the parts store. Hell i have an extra plug ill send you for the cost of a stamp! this will free up about 100 lbs.. and then remove the front passenger brake caliper and rotor and all associated piping, its another 55 lbs.. you want to make sure that you keep the stock drivers side brake so you can still slow down! We all know 240 stock brakes are so freaking large its ridiculous.

last free or ez thing i can think of, get your sawzall, and remove the roof, rear fenders, trunk, front end, rear end, side pillars, doors, all interor and misc electronics... the more weight you shave the better..

Mike needs to jump on this ;)

here is a free mod, gut your interior, you will loose some weight so u can go faster!!!! YAY!!!! MMOOOARRR HHOORRSEPOWa!!!

gtfo my thread no one needs ur sarcasm. all im trying to do is get some ideas of stuff to keep me occupied while i save up for parts. the stock spoiler ads barely any stability if any nd it doesnt matter anyway cuz im not gonna be doing 130 on straight aways cuz 1) the motor is stock nd 2) its gonna be a drift car. nd i said vertical hood not vented, meaning when u open the hood it goes straight up learn to read. go somewhere else with your shit

you can always, since your already gutting the car, you can dry ice the sound deading gross black tarry stuff and get that out of the car, that will havea HUGE weight load off the car.

thats true. anything else?

do you even have a job??

yea i have a job. i work at a pizza/hoagie place. thats why i said im saving up for parts

haha, best mod you could do is to lay off the pizza. :drama: Those super pro drivers are like 160lb range at most.

You can always drive it off a cliff...itll go 200mph if you can make it go nose first. If it stays flat, well too much drag, you'll only do 120mph or so.

LMAO! Haha

what about gittin jr. that dudes gotta be close to 200 haha nd he drives like a monster. sure his car does have like 800hp but still haha

don't take anything we say to heart.. this is how zilvia is. half our members cars are being held by zipties.. welcome aboard!

good tip thanks

Good cheap mod is running a Relay to your Ignition coil.

care to explain?

There was a website I had found showing some early s13's that were part of a race series. They modded the KADE by taking every extra line out that you dont need. As well as the Intake runners and some other items.

I cant find the website right now but you only need one vacuum line and thats for the fuel pressure regulator. You will have to take off the intake to get access to all the crap underneath. While the Intake is off be sure to completely remove the studs so if and when you do have problems you have ez access. I blew a fuel line 2 months later and had easily replaced it by removing the intake.

So I have a CAT delete. A fidanza flywheel with a stage 2 clutch and of course a vlsd. My cars pulls extremely hard and does really well against v-6 and some v-8's due to the weight factor...
