Thumbs up

ok I have been driving my car for about 2 weeks now. It’s a 1988 n/a. it has a mild street port, ebay filter, and race beat exhaust mufflers. What should be my next mod? I was thinking a ignition, headers, or pulleys. But im not to sure what do all of you think?

thanks

scot

The header would prolly be best performance wise.

header and presilencer, ditch the cats and go presilencer. i ran the mazdatrix header, presilencer with an hks 60mm cat back and loved every minute i drove it and it made a sound like no other on the road. it was deep and quiet untill load was put to it and wow what a sound. as a side note the 5th and 6th port switched like an on off switch at 5800 rpm felt a real kick in the pants with that set up.

What do you want to do with the car? If you're just looking for a loud *** lawnmower that doesn't really perform very well, just get a fart can from eBay and staright pipe it.



If you are looking for a more peformance oriented vehicle, you may want to start with brakes and suspension. Upgrade to T2 brakes, rotors, SS brake lines, and good brake pads. Suspension upgrades could be strut bars, bushings, rear steer eliminators, sway bars, struts/coilovers, etc.



You may never be able to out HP your competition, but you will be able to outperform them.



BTW - Fart cans and uncorked rotary motors draw a lot of attention from sources you may not want attention from, like cops.
