Where to start? ... i"m assuming you car is all stock.
Engine wise, the cheapest and easiest is getting an aftermarket short ram/cold air intake (small gain) . It'll only set you back a coupe of hundred.
Also pretty cheap would be an aftermarket exhaust (extractors/hi flow cat converter/cat-back exhaust. U can do all three, but your greatest gains will come from your extractors. About 1200 fitted all up.
Those are the basics. Next step: cams/machined head etc... skys the limit... turbo/supercharged will cost you thousands.
And then theres suspension and brakes... but thats another story.
Yeah, He did say mods.
Just wanted to point out better saving the money and getting a new motor =D
btw mike why do u have a ej8 on ur dp when ur car says 99 em1?
I agree about getting a new motor. Depends on ur performance needs though.
Wait a minute: What do u mean by dp? u mean my avatar? ... it has ej8 tail lights. The em1 came with crap aftermarket tail lights so i swapped them with my ej8. Thats why ive got an em1 with ej8 tailies.

Do simple mods to increase the torque output of the D16Y8. You can achieve this by adding:
1) J's Racing Intake or Simota Equivalent
2) Custom 2.25" Mandrel Bent Exhaust System with 2.25" High Flow Cat
3) X-Force 4-2-1 Headers
4) AFC Neo Tune
These mods should make the car more responsive and more drivable day to day.
While we are on the topic of mods, what do u guys recommend for an intake upgrade (b16a2)?
gonna get rid of that terrible factory airbox, once i get on my feet cash wize!!!
I would probably wanna get cold air intake ( as opposed to short ram) to make it more worth my while. If someone can gimme product/prices (any ideas!) would be appreciated.
I havent searched any threads yet, so if u have any links, please point me in the right direction.
