i personally think you should invest into some motor work or a new moor b/c if ur car looks hot than people will want to race you and if you get smoked they will think ur a ricer

yeah thats what i was gonna do get a new engine headers intake exaust and that tornado shit that gives some more hp and mpg

my only prob is i dunno what engine to get i was thinking b16a b/c its semi cheap and puts out a lot of horses and mabye an lsd tranny

also whats the difference between a short shifter and the stock one

and i also never got wtf the gear ratio's were =\

dont waste ur money on that stuff on your dx motor, it aint worth it, just swap it for a b16 from www.hmotorsonline.com then swap it in, with you other 1500bux, get a nice kit, and maybe some headers and intakes for the motor.

Dude, don't waste your money on that tornado SH*T - it's not worth $5. I would put the money into a new motor and/or kit, wheels, and stuff.

Ya thoes tornado things do work my friend got a extra 7mpg and then we did some 0-60 times he had a stock 86 maximum and it did without the tornado a 10.5-10.6 like 10 times then wiht the tornado he ran a 9.4-9.5 like 10 times same day and same road. So if had to have done somthing to have thoes results.
