Mods
I read with interest, all the mods that people install. However, I am not sure if I know what all mods are for, as I am not too technically inclined to understand most of them. Is there a place on these forums that explains each mod, and what that is for?

MY first pass at the track I ran a 14.9
My second I ran a 14.7
My third with and intake and suspension mods I ran a 14.01
after the exhaust and the pulley I ran in the high 13's all day long.
so okay I might not have shaved a complete full second off of the listed time for the 6mt but I enjoyed to watch the improvement the car was able to make with such simple mods.
on the other hand I had an RSX with a fully built motor with a turbocharger. it had 512 HP to the wheels and that thing moved. I would run 11's all day with front wheel drive on street tires. so my point being, some mods will only shave a fraction of a second and some will shave quite a bit. I beleive that people do it just to enjoy it themselves not to have and EGO!

noticed i said "most of the time" and i was right. i saw u enjoying ur car on 80 i think the other day. nothing wrong with that. i don't believe the originator meant things u did to your RSX. people doing 1000+ HP on their street cars for 4 -5 runs are not uncommon. a fraction of a sec is all u gonna get with B-ONs. i still think passing/show off other TLs in 3rd gear fast is for ego a lil bit(i/mycar is better than u/urs, subconsciously of course. hard to draw the line between i and mycar). that rush u get after smoking other cars. u call that enjoyment for whatever so be it. hey don't get me wrong. i got mods too.

Interesting! I believe I am happy with whatever Acura put in for spped. Does quite well. However, my question still remains unanswered. Any place where the mods are defined, in that what exactly they do? I will appreciate if someone could guide me in that Pls.

Mod list:
Intake: will increase the amount of air pulled in by the engine
Exhaust: will let all the exhaust gases(air) out of the engine faster
Pulley: will underdrive the crank pulley which will make the pulley smaller. it also lightens the pulley weight decreasing the strain on the motor
short shifter: will make you shift shorter on 6MT
springs/coilovers/aspec suspsension: will lower the car (amount dependent on the springs) and will increase spring rate. this will make for less body roll and a stiffer ride.
swaybar: will reduce body roll
Hope this helps!
