Just bought a stock silver 01 CL Type S with 73K. Don't have to much money right now but what are some inexpensive things i can add or do for performance and to the exterior for now? (I'm new to this)

Welcome to the SSM club.

Here is my car, pretty much every mod you can think of is there except FI.

Welcome dude!


some cheaper stuff to do is Intake which gives you a nice sound and some performance and maybe springs/shock combo to sit alittle bit lower.

Welcome to Acurazine! just surf around and look at our cars and you'll see lots you can do for it.

Cheapest mod is probably intake resonator removal + K&N filter

Even though the ebay auction for the Option pulley shows they're sold out, they're still apparently in stock on Options website...

Welcome to the site. The best engine upgrade you could do is headers. They free up around 20hp.

My favorite mod was probably the suspension. So Id suggest addressing that. A thicker rear sway bar will make the car handle much better, and it shouldnt cost any more then $250 for the bar, bushings, and new end links.

Also, what shape is your transmission in?

I hate to upset you, but if you really like this car and want to keep it, then start putting some money aside for new transmission (if it was never replaced)

Headers really give you that much !!!! and if so im guessing their the 4-2-1 set right?

4-2-1?

We have a v6. Techincally its 6-2-1, or 3-1 then they two banks merge.

Thanks for the support and advice guys. Don't have the ability to post pics yet but will when i can. Had the transmission looked at at two places before i bought it and everything looked good. Switches gears smoothly, no issues that i can notice so far but i'm no pro

FYI when i slapped my comptech headers on it was MORE than i expected...even with alll the hype. IMHO it demolished the hype.

now i did have P2R plenums, tb spacer, gaskets, cai and pulley.. which made the headers free up even more hp... but damn SON i was blown away by the new power! car will haul ass till u hit the rev limiter now..

it's like re-buying the car.. i luv it

P.S Congrats on the SSM... i the same color too and i LOVE it to death.

originally i wanted the Blue or black, but they show scratches and dirt like no tomorrow.. this color REALLY grew on me, i won't change it now if i had the chance
