I pretty did as much as you can to this car to get power out of it without spending thousands of dollars. Next would be extractors, headers, port and polish, enlarged throttle body and computer.

What are you looking to do with it? Drag or track?

Drivetrain components! I took half a sec off my 1/4 and still only have an air filter and exhaust

The cheapest things i think are a filter, a muffler, spark plugs and a general service...

Lsd is a big bang for your buck... a race compound tyres (hard not soft if you use them a lot)

You can go lightweight flywheel but that requires taking off the gearbox, lightweight crank pulley + alt pulley, lighter wheels, tyres, nuts... something to reduce front lift... front caster kit, rear spring height/stiffness via coilovers or spring/damper...

You can do intake insulator gaskets which keep the air cooler in the intake chambers...

yeah AJ im planning to do drag, since im only on my P's im planning to mod the car so when i get my fulls ill be able to take it drag racing.

ill probably try get hold of a haltech.

is there something i need before getting a haltech?

yeah when i opened the cover since its just aluminum with bolts, i touched the pod since its foam and it was greasy/oily and i wasnt sure if thats how it was meant to be. hence why im deciding to change it
im guessing its not normal .

someone correct me if I'm wrong, but arent these supposed to be greased? or are you talking about engine oil on it?

ohhh maybe its grease? i dno its just some form of oil or grease? i don't think its oil then. theres no way oil is able to get there since its covered.

omg christ sake, dude it has a foam pod filter on it, its supposed to be oiled man. Dont change it. It has a UAS intake pipe on it, the best you can get. ALL you need to do is make up a box to surround the podfilter.

Why hasnt anyone else picked up on this...

do you share my pain bennoz.

thats why im asking.. if it was normal.. lol. ive never had a car before lmao hence why i ddnt know anything about it.
i just assumed that it had to be clean, not like i new it had to be oiled lol.
yeah im planning just to box it now. i browsed through the forum took time to look for what i needed.

you were such great help silverGPX

Search button dude. Its one of those things thats been covered a bazillion times.

yeah i did. i did research on it already. i looked at a few DIY's already.
just figuring out how im going to do it now. like without doing major changes.

actually... (i know i'll get flamed for this now, but) I dont actually remember many (if any) mentions that foam filters are supposed to be greased on here (I only knew because my lawn mower has one lol)

yeah another member was helpful and told me the use of having grease on it. i just thought it was dirty
thanks for your help
