I just bought a 2002 P5 and I want to make some mods to the engine. I have about $600 and I would like to know the best way to spend it. Any ideas?

Zirguy

cold air intake, paint the brake calipers for looks, NGK iridium plugs, peformance wires, and an exhaust.
Is that $600?

It might be $600, but it isn't the best bang for the buck. Painting brake calipers will not give the engine any more power, sorry if this is a let down, and the plugs and wires won't do much either.

exhaust, real tires and a suspension....who needs horsepower when you dont have to brake for corners?

uclaP5

ARW headers: $450

thats the most gain you will get for your money. spend the remaining $150 on a used injen or a new ebay CAI, or some axelback exhast.

EXACTLY! It's about time some one said it

corners are the best place for a protege....usually smoking much more expensive cars...

Injen intake
J-spec cams (still think best bang for buck around)

theres your $600 gone but you will feel it

Tint. Intake.

Topher

i didn't know tint was considered an engine mod...how much hp do you gain?

Redfyre

Oops, my bad. Guess I need to pay attention to the original question.

Topher

lol...i thought it was funny

Phantom Cruiser

and my vote goes to:

ebay intake
cat-back exhaust
lowering springs

you'll get a little hp gain & and a nicer 'stance'
