#5201, "Next?"


          

First off, I am new to the world of modifying cars. I've just started working on my Eclipse GS and wanted some suggestions on where I should go next. So far, I have replaced the plugs, put an AEM intake on it, and opened up the throttle all the way. These few mods have resulted in a drastic increase in my cars performance, but I want more! I don't have a lot of money, but what you recommend I invest in next?

Your link isn't working...

I checked on eBay. Jeez. Is $120 a decent price? Anyone know where I could pick one up for cheaper?

you could try pulling off your engine mounts one at a time and then filling in the recess where the rubber is with polyurathane caulking. Its not too tough all you need is the caulk, a caulk gun, and a jack to support the engine while you have each engine mount off. Do them one at a time and let the car sit over night (the stuff will ooze out if you don't). When your done you'll notice a small increase in torque, better shifting, and a little more engine vibration.
