Mods Review

There are many people that would love to know if the performance parts they are looking to buy are worth the money. Please list the part, manufacturer and the cost of your mod and a brief review.... This would help me and many others.....

Also If you would like a review please list the item!!

Are cheap ebay part almost as good as the high dollar ones?????

Ebay cold air intake
Cost under $100
performance ... I lost some low end torque but gained high end HP... When the air temp is good outside This mod really helped... When it is hot and muggy outside the low end torque is really bad.... Also any cold air intake becomes a hot air intake after the temp. under the hood raises... The metal tubing conducts and stores heat a lot better than plastic... If someone made a plastic cold air intake I would buy it!!!! ( on the track I made a ice pack that wrapps around the metal tubing...HP HP HP from hot tube to cold tube feels like 40 hp difference. Try it on a hot day...

Light weight Wheels; about $400 a set.... Four Stars.. I purchased Falcon wheels they are .5 wider but the biggest difference is the weight, they are under 17lbs. WOW everything about the car is better..It feels like I gained HP and torque.. The breaking and handling is better too.. The first time a smashed the accelerator I smiled big...

I would like a review on Hawk HPS break pads.... Cheap ebay rotors.... and performance shocks...
