Another mod which will make a dramatic difference are rims....

I am using Enkei RPF1. They only weight9.5lb eash which is WAY lighter than the stock 16lb steel rims. Many light aftermarket are around 12-13.5.

With the lighter and wider rims you get better......

Acceleration
Braking
Cornering
Suspension response

Another super easy mod is upgrading your grounding system to a large 0 guage wire connecting the negative terminal to the body. This helped my throtle response and made shifting smoother(auto trans).

Thats cool how a little wiring can make a change...This probably won't be effective in a manual though, right?
