    advance your timing, clear your tails(or paint them red), gutter gaurd in the front grills, car wash, plugs/wires/cap/rotor, build yourself an intake, if you're carbed flip the lid, as far as BIG difference, that takes a little more money...

    86 means carb most likely.....so u can spend 45 bucks to by a K&N filter---there really great, ad a few hp and are reusible. you just wash em in a sink and use this bottle of stuff that comes with it. worth it.

    right now I am building a cold air box that goes over the carb, it will have an open element air cleaner, but be in an aluminum box with a plexi top, that way I can duct air into it and it still looks good. plus I'm building an air door so I can keep my carb heat.

    yeah, i'm with sticker guy- apc stickers add a good 15 horse each-oh and some tire flys and leds on your washer fluid squiters- maybe even a chrome tip with a light ring around it. if you want to go all out on CHEAP mods, i'd go for all of the above.
    *this entire paragraph was a joke, please do not take the "rice advice" seriously-not even for one second.* wait untill you have money, then do your mods right. don't risk the rice look-it's too painful.

    Yea when I do all my mods I take my time and do them right. Example: .......that tach took over 100 hours to build and install, but you won't see any wires and it looks profesional, I had to go to power mirrors to do that I wish I had a pic of the door mounting.

    Oh come on now, you know fast cars have always had skulls in them, like the one on the shifter in armegeddon, the one with the light up eyes? Thats what this does it's a shift light. I would put a shift knob like that but I'm too attached to my old race car shifter knob. I made the skull too out of resin.

    Just for the record that whole mounting post is made out of aluminum, I spent weeks designing it so in an accident it would break away if you hit it, yet still not shake. I went to the power mirrors because I needed a flat mounting spot for the tach. When you close the door it sits right beside the instrument cluster. I thought I would maby get an ordinary shift light and then I thought how about a skull one? that would be cool as hell. A lot of people want to know where I bought it and then I tell them it's homemade they all want one, Too much work to be commercial.
