Thread: Upgrade time for the '05 Prix, ideas and comments please

CAI is cold air intake. You should do maintenance first though. Good clean oil change. Transmission filter and new fluid. Brake fluid flush. Pull off the throttle body and clean off some of the built up black sticky carbon. Also the mass air flow sensor could use cleaning. Only use mass air flow sensor cleaner spray. It's a little less harsh on the components than brake cleaner would be. Do all of that first before thinking about performance upgrades. Rule of thumb is if something is broken or worn out then replace it with an upgraded part.

Thank you!!! i will definitely get started on all of that this week!! and yea CAI is about the only abbreviation i knew haha thank you for dumbing it down for me! That really did help!

and i'm not really looking as much for power because that gets pricey and then mpg's go down some i'm sure, and being a college student next fall i need mpg's instead of burning rubber all the time. so that's the want for smaller mods. thank you though!
