Hello

I just bought my brand new 2006 Lancer ES. It is my first car and so far I love it. I don't want to make any major modifications at this point but I was planning on doing some small things to slightly improve Gas Mileage and horsepower. I know there are several thigns out there I could do but I really don't know anything about what those things are or how to go about them so I was hoping for some advice and suggestions

Re: Hello

Not many things out there will improve gas mileage AND increase horsepower. It's really one or the other. But things like an cold air intake bump up horswepower by 2 or 3 HP, yet only take away about 1 or 2 mpg total, so it's really not too bad of a trade off.

Hmmmm basicly now that I own my own car I wanna start taking a look into things I can do to either add Horse power or gas mileage and start working on it. I know its kind of a comprehensive thing to ask but I really don't know where else to start.
