Hey here is another newbi question what kind of sparkplugs , oil filtures, and sparkplugs wires should i use to increase performance.

ice1cube · 05-16-2002, 10:26 PM

save that for later...if you're going to do any upgardes go with the basic i/h/e first

otherwise i woudl say probably nology hotwires and denso plugs

whats that i have a 97 model with 75000 miles on there so its time for a tuneup and i just got it so i'm ready for some stuff

WAIT WAIT WAIT A MINUTE! Guesstimating, i would have to say that 7 out of 10 people like the 99-01 grille better.

axion68 · 05-16-2002, 11:14 PM

I like the newer grill, but I kinda like mine too. oh well, I'm going to rice it with mesh and see if I like it. Ahh... let the flames begin

I/H/E = Intake Exhaust Headers... AIrzjordans POV.. = pointless..

you wont see much gains except for the fact that you can say i have I/H/E and get some bling bling in the engine...

if your into performance/looks i suggest NOS.... but DO NOT ABUSE IT... its worth every penny

I guess, exhaust though, for looks and sound!

I'm willing to trade my 97 grill for a 99-01

Most certainly agree with this statement! All I/H/E did for me was make my bottom end worse, top end better, and made it pretty. Wish I had gone a different route.

no way ... I like the prelude logo, but I don't like that mesh ****. Granted it's better than the Home Depot mesh some people put on their cars ...

I will add the ECU Swich from the website so it wont detune the i/h/e

I'm just the opposite. I like the 99+ mesh grills, but hate the prelude logo on it...

I agree with this statement too. If you spend that $1000 on a nice nitrous SETUP (ignition, plugs, bottle warmer, etc.) you will see alot more gains. Check out the Nitrous Forum for more info.

I plan to replace the exhaust when needed, but with something custom locally (2.25" piping & universal muffler) for half the price of the name brands. IMO there just isn't enough gain to justify the money spent. I did however buy a used AEM CAI for $125, in the long run it's cheaper than continually replacing the filter, and it sounds a little better.

True, but with the amount of over-revving, rev-limiter bouncing, and mis-shifting that goes on, nitrous isn't for everyone.

nothing says bling-bling like stainless steel nitrous lines
