Post up any mods you can think of that are cheap to do. this could be a good resource if it works out and people are posting.
I;ll start with the old polyurethane motor mount inserts. make a huge difference, no wheel hop, alot of vibrations but there kinda cool.

B&M Shift + for us auto guys.

 

Nawwwwzzz

 

airbox mod is not always the best thing to do just spend the money and get a intake

 

yea i never said any of those are the best thing to do, but if your not willing to spend more that $100 at a time modding your car your not gonna get the best.

 

The motor mount is more than a 100.

 

actualy it says right there, $79,99 for the pair.

 

that would be transmission mounts. the motor mount is somewhere between $150-$200 depending upon vendor

no one mentioned pulleys? lol

 

im interested, whats the hatrickstu mod???

Airbox mod is just as effective as a $250 filter attached to a shiny metal pipe.

 

about $30 in supplies and you can make your own SS insert doors
