Cheap and Easy Performance Upgrades

[pssrojas]

Hey guys! Merry Christmas!

I was wondering if there are any cheap mods/upgrades I can do to my '08 Yaris?
Well, I already took out the catalytic converter (legal in my country) and installed an aftermarket muffler/silencer. I was wondering if there are any more simple mods that i can have done to my car?

Well, it's cause I'm still a student and I don't have any solid income yet. So i was wondering if there are any mods i can do to my car for as little cost as possible :P

intake/pulleys/header/exhaust/TB swap/remove weight

this is the basic bolt-on setup. after that you get into more expensive projects to make power.

how much will this increase power ? what about mpg?

I don't think it gives any HP, but if ur car is running extremely lean(fuel cut off sets in) it might help. But more fuel doesn't mean more HP

+1 on the pulleys. The underdrive pulley made good bit of difference on my stock engine. Suspension mods make it lots of fun to drive too.

Read my signature. . . but seriously, a good mod is learning to use the search button. It will net you more results. Also try looking for this mystical thing called a "sway bar."

what do you mean by pulleys and TB swap? I'm kinda noob when it comes with these things.

Between the seat and steering wheel... hmmm

seatbelts? :P


Cheap and easy? Sway bar definitely(rear of course). That and losing weight will make the car more fun than 120 bucks spent any other way. Springs and shocks/struts next but that's not exactly cheap or easy.

Yes, search button! But sway bar is the best bang for the buck!
