simple tune up should do it.

Major tune up = about 160 dollars.

Replace CV Joint, flush and fill radiator, new sparkplugs, new sparkplug wires, replace cap and rotor, new ignition coil. People please continue from where I left off.

My car doesn't take too long to get to 100+ anymore, after gutting interior/coil upgrade/spark plug upgrade gapped to .52/flipped lid/removing all ac components/removing ps belt (you don't need this, you can work out while driving)/punched cat with a 1"bar/straight muffler custom welded on. It gets to 100+ pretty much faster than it did before all that. Takes me about 16-18 sec. to get there. yes, this is legitimate, my friend timed me from 0 to 100+.

I am able to beat all 3g's in my area. about 10 of them in my area. its funny, one time 5 out of those 10 guys actually followed me to the store and asked me what I got in the car. told them I still have the original motor in it with a few modifications, as listed above. he couldn't believe it. he tried getting more stuff to increase his speed. a few weeks to a month later I met up with him and he had alot of new stuff (that he thought that will help him) and he still lost. so I asked him to let me ride with him, and show me how he is racing his car, he is as good as me, mabey a little better, but he still lost. Anyone in the San Jose/Sunnyvale area in California, drop me a line and we will meet up and race it out.
