cheap effective mods? - Honda Prelude Forum

BosHaus · 02-27-2002, 02:05 PM

since i got practically no money.. know any mods under like $100 that'll either make my prelude look nicer or give it a noticable speed boost?

K&N air filter. Just drop it in.

Remove the resonator--Free!

Clear corners--pretty cheap

Emblems-cheap

AEM pulleys run around $110 I think, but then you've gotta install them yourself or pay $50-$75 to get it done.

Good suggestions Pete!

Especially the K&N!

U could also try a generic cold air intake setup, that would probably give u the most gains!

But IMHO, don't do the Lude injustice by putting "cheap" mods to it. The Lude is a nice car and it should be treated the same way.

Always remember, "DO IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME"!!!

Clear out everything: $50 tops for sidemarkers, and fronts
tails: free (u could do the fronts but i just decided to spend $20)

Window tint
shift knob & pedals
plug wires...but without any other mods you wouldn't really need them

thanks,

if I clear out the lights, do the blinkers just flash white, or do I need to put amber bulbs in?

get a hondata intake manifold spacer. its like $60, but hard ass hell to install

Hyojiggy · 02-27-2002, 03:23 PM

cheap ass mods?? SPRAY PAINT!

yea.. get your corners cleared if you can...just makes everyrthing "clean" only takes about hour top to clear it yourself... hey...free = happy~

They are clear so u will need some orange bulbs (#7440 single filament or 7443 double filament works too)

The side markers aren't really important but if u want any color bulb they are 194/168
