first, you should come up with a plan for what you want your car to be when you're finished modding...THAT will determine what your next mod should be.

most likely just do the tint. I want more speed, but nothing out there is at a reasonable price to get or mod a 1.6.

I'm in Florida also, TENT YOUR WINDOWS FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!!! The Throttle body would only work with headers and an exhaust at the same time. Like Roddimus said do you want show or go, that shall guide you to the path in which you shall follow

um....a throttle body will only show significant gains with a turbo or forced induction....headers and exhaust have nothing to do with a TB.

Thumbs down

lol, alright ready I got the pic about the tint. I got a Header (AWR) and I have a intake (injen), so a TB from Corksport won't do any improvements at all. that sucks

I'm going for show and speed!

a bigger bore tb will help, but only with a head that flows better and no intake or exhaust restrictions.

you of course wont see as much gains on a n/a car than an fi car, but there is still that gain. look upon it as the ability to get more air into the engine, but you now you need more stuff to take advantage of that air.
