I just bought a k&n cold air intake from advanced auto parts for about 124$ i have heard they are ok but i don't hve time till this weekend to put it on. if you decide to get that one make sure it is the FIPK(Fuel Injection Performance Kit) other than that i am pretty new here also so i don't really know what i can mod easily other than that.

intake exhaust headers is about all you can do without a lot of cash, before turbo.

Lets see....If you don't replace your timing belt :nono: ........BOOM!!! Sooner or later the timing belt will break. When that happens there is a very good chance that the pistons will contact the valves...VERY BAD and VERY EXPENSIVE. It is recommended that when you replace the timing belt you also do the balancer belt, tensioner, and water pump. These are all cheap parts but the labor to get to them (if you aren't doing the work yourself) is very expensive.
