More Power?

I just bought a 97 LX. What kind of upgrades could I do to improve performance? The car has had nothing done to it.I have around $300 Cdn.
Any input would be really appreciated.
 
Re: More Power?

cheapest mod u can do is take out the air silencer!
 
Re: More Power?

if you are racing at mission buy a $3 bag of ice to ice the intake.
 
Re: More Power?

mike u should head out to Port kells this friday night, u will get lots of input form the gang and we talk shop!
 
Re: More Power

Would like to come out tonight but having family from outta town over. Maybe next Friday...

Oh, BTW, I found out about this site from a business card stuck on the windshield.
 
?

Just curious, are you the owner of the blue/green LX that goes to UCFV?
 
Re: ?

yeah, tell us where your car was when u got this card, then we will know who it was that gave it to you!!
 
Re: ?

We can see that these cards are very effective now.
 
Re: More Power

Got it at Silver City Coq. 'bout a month ago. It's silver.
 
Re: More Power

i put one on a car there, did it have US plates on it

and do u have msn or icq or something, makes it a bit easier to chat
 
Re: ?

Yeah it had US plates, I bought it from my parents for $6000 Cdn.
Unfortunately I cant use IM at work.
 
Re: ?

do u have IM at home

and that was me who left the card on your car then, it looked pretty darn good to!!
 
Re: More Power?

to the question at hand again..

What's size engine in it.. 4.6L V8? 3.8L V6???

what are you looking for? Cheap or expensive?

Cheap..
K&N panel
Removed Air silencer
Exhuast (Mostly mufflers to start)
Jerry mod the tranny

Expensive.. <dealing with mostly the 4.6L's here>
'99 GT 'stang heads
Vortech Supercharger
Cobra or Mark 8 motor :)

just check out TCCoA.com they catier more towards the 4.6L (if you have one)
 
Re: More Power?

ahh it's a shift improver thing for the 4r70W.. basiclly you take OEM parts off the shelf, toss it into said tranny, and you got a tire shreading tranny, and is SAFE, compared to those shift kits for the 4R70W/AODE's out there...

more info on that on TCCoA's tech articles section under `trannies' or whatever..

Separate from the rest of this dialogue: Am I
reading this correctly, that we have stumbled onto
a "tax loophole" way to bring an SC across the
border??? Hey, sounds too good to be true:
Say it ain't so! (As a song goes...lol!)
 
Re: Use your head: It's the little things that count (!)

Its not an 89-93 sc, so it is exempt anyways
 
Re: Use your head: It's the little things that count (!)

89-93 MN12s.. Thunderbirds, Cougars.. 3.8L NA, 3.8l S/Ced or 5.0l can change hands over the boarder `saftey' thing..

but all '94+ could change hands over the boarder..

All i can see why is the '89-93's had passive seatbelts int he states, where as cdn cars didn't <even thou they are wired for it, least mine is>
 
Re: Use your head: It's the little things that count (!)

Can't remember the specifics, but I was lead to
believe by Jerome who actually tried it, that by
definition we can't do...

I know when I relocated to Vancouver, the
immigration "process" by definition let's u bring
whatever u want. But u need to immigrate...lol!
Other than that, no hope in hell !(!)
 
Re: Use your head: It's the little things that count (!)

OK, you want a fast SC, just add a couple of turbo impeller jet engines. I'll let you all know what my 1/4 mile time is once I complete this little diddy. :rollin:
