So whats your favorite low cost mod youve done to your car

[SketchyRollin564]

Just thought it would be an interesting thread, maybe for sombody who just got their paycheck and wants to spend it on somthing, but somthing worth the money, and not somthing that theyd drop $200 on and barley notice like an intake

I got my j30 vlsd (and engine and transmission mounts and some old hks turbo timer) as a trade for my xbox, but the j30 is usually $100-150, and ive got to say, for only spending that much, it makes a HELL of a difference coming from open diff, especially if you have the stock ka

Way better traction, off the line, and in the turns, and its fun being able to slide spinning both wheels. best investment

next time i have $200 saved up, im probably gonna go with swaybars (i got tein springs for $75, so im going with struts and springs for now till i feel the need to upgrade to coils), and ive heard swaybars will make your car handle like a go kart, so im really looking forward to that

anyone else wannt throw in some sub $200 mods theyve done that were WELL worth the money?

i know s13 owners fall inlove again when they upgrade to their s14 seats for only like $110

[S13hatch91]

so far id say my lowering springs they gave my car a good drop and it handles so much better

[slyedog240sx]

z32 steering rack bushings, and sway bar bushings.

[positron1]

My R32 seat...costs me $250 with shipping but it was well worth it and being in the car with it was like night and day compared to the stock seat. That was almost two years ago and this is still one of my favorite mods.

[SR20DET.240]

B&M short shifter, under 200 and one of my favorite mods.

Nismo/Jonnie Fraz brace is so good it makes my head explode.

[rsmithdrift]

wiring in the A/C fan as the only fan that's always on when the fuel pump is on to replace that stupid clutch fan.... FREE!

Drift/turn knob to replace the one I made lol.... $15

new hi performance tires up front and crappy used ones in the back... cost of tires?? lol (makes a huge difference in handling though, totally fixes S13 understeer and makes drifting easy as pie)

[SirSilvia]

Mine was updating the stereo from the 4x6's in the doors and the 6" rounds in the back, and the shotty OEM headunit to 4 pioneer 6x9's and cd player. turned out pretty nice and wasn't all that much prolly $260 and a little grinding of the parcel shelf.

or my tein springs for 181 shipped...probably the best

[livinglegend2100]
