Little performance enhancements...

Well, I just got a 97 2.2 cl and atm I pretty much have no money, so until i get more to put some actual money into it, is there any way to get better engine performance out of the car??

I mean like simple manual labor stuff, or any cheap boosters out there that would work good...

thanks!

cut off your exhaust after the cat, and take the filter out of your intake

modding = money anyway you put it. I highly recommend not doing anything right now and learning a few things first.

still remember when I first got my integra I was on another forum and someone said

Does it rain much where your from? If so, you could leave your gas tank open on rainy days. this will allow the water to clean out your system. Don't forget to shut it before you operate the vehicle though.

Why yes peter parker it does rain in fact I've been through three hurricanes in the past 2 months I think when the next cat 3 comes through I'll leave my gas tank open and let the rain come and clean my car using the power of mother nature Especially when the rain comes in sideways it will go right in my gas tank very easily

DO it now

taking out the air filter and removing my entire exhaust worked for me.
