yeah i just bought my 240 and need to know what are some good mods to do to it first and that dont cost all to much

thanks

 

Awesome! Congratulations on your buy!

I have a 96 se as well (about a month and a half ago). How much did you get it for? How many miles on it? auto or 5 spd?

For cheaper starter mods, theres always the intake and exhaust. For me, I decided not to spend the 150 or so on an Injen intake so I just removed the stock airbox and filter and bought a K&N cone filter and and MAF adapter and stuck it on the stock pipe.

Theres a lot of options for the exhaust, I havent put one on yet, but I plan to. A cat-back exhaust can run you anywhere from 350-700 dollars. Other members here could probably help you with that.

For handling you could get a front strut bar (about 120 dollars depending on what kind you get) and new springs. I plan to get a strut bar within the next couple months.

Other things you could do are change your spark plugs and wires. Use NGK or Bosch. They don't give you much in terms of performance though.

Those are some relatively "inexpensive" mods you could do. I learned in the past few months that there isnt really anything "cheap" in the car world and that you get what you pay for. One thing a lot of people like to do is build their own cold air intake with stuff you get from the hardware store. It'll save you a lot of money. It's an option if you like to do stuff yourself.

Good luck with everything. Glad to have you on the boards!

 

well thanks for the reply

its a 5spd, and i gave 5568 for it...

i already have the exhaust, it will be here tomorrow....

looking into some sort of intake that is better than the stock one.......

 

Stock=so restrictive so basically any intake is better then stock.
