Post anything for free (or very little money) that will help keep Celi's performing theyre best. To get it started, how do I take the slack out of the acceleration cable to insure im getting WOT when i floor it?

Poor Rocky can't get any straight answers.
 The answer is methodical oil changes, regular tune-ups, not overly beating on your car, and addressing problems before they become big. -------------------- QUOTE(lagos @ Jul 10, 2006 - 1:55 PM) [snapback]454118[/snapback] i know your trying to do the right thing for your motor, but this is one of those times where you should just trust the guys who have had their swaps for a while and have done a ton of research into this. |

Weight reduction is free...you could take out your sub, but I'm not sure if you'd want to do that.
There really aren't too many free or very cheap ways to get more power out of our cars... -------------------- New Toyota project coming soon...

Find the the biggest fan in your house. Strap it to the top of your car and wire it to the battery. That should at least look like you tried to be cheap on performance. Just Kidding.
Oh and when someone asks what the hell it is. Tell them it is a custom turbo! ..................HaHa! This post has been edited by scorpian3243: Aug 27, 2004 - 1:40 AM |

relocate your air filter to the front of your car (in the front bumper)(don't make the tubing bigger than the throttle body)
take out the back seat smaller 14"-15" wheels take off your muffler entirely (HAHALOL *cough def at sport compact*) remove the excess systems-radio is easy, door panels are easy, short shifter(for manual applications) spark lugs, wires, cap and rotor, sythetic oil, 2 bottles of octance boost that are a boost in 10 points each(equivelnt to 1pnt=.1octance number so 2 bottles equals 93 octane is now 95)LOL get rid of your girl the passenger seat ect |
