Want to improve performance
Want to improve performance
I'm looking for any way I can make performance improvements on my MX-3. If you have done any and know of ways that I can, please let me know. I don't know much about cars but I got an excellent mechanic that does.
Re: Want to improve performance
Cheaper options:<BR>PRM Jetstream cold air intake, feed it fresh air.<BR>8.5mm Magnacore spark wires.<BR>Buru Silverstone Sparkplugs.<BR>Change muffler from single to double out. Standard GS muffler will fit perfectly.<P>more expensive options:<BR>catback exhaust system or full free flow exhaust system which includes header, highflow cat and catback system.<BR>1.6 B6T swap or 1.8 BPTurbo swap.<P>other stuff:<BR>front and rear strut bars.<BR>15",16" or 17" rims with wider width.<BR>etc.<P>Other peeps may be able to add more

Re: Want to improve performance
performance as in what? engine, suspension, braking??<P>Simple stuff would be to add a 2.0" cat-back exhaust, PRM intake, eibach springs and tokicos, a rear sway bar, and better brake pads.

Re: Want to improve performance
I would also add the Unorthodox Racing lightened pulley to the list of performance mods for a MX-3. <P>It really improves the low end and proves a hp/torque gain throughout the entire rpm power band.
