Help Just bought a 98 gt!!!

**Panto911** · 12-18-2008

Hi, first post on your site! Sold my 98 civic for a 98 gt!!! Love it! "hated small, weak cars!" lol

Sold Civic for $6500, Bought GT for $1000 "no title, have my ways." Can out run, run over, and flatten my old civic! PRICELESS!

So far, I tinted my glass, tinted my tails, replaced all the speakers, head unit and added amps and subs. Hits like a truck!

My question is this...I have a couple so bare with me.

My tails are tinted to dark and I want the tail lights/turning signals brighter. I heard you can replace them with leds? Is that brighter? Which ones do I need for a direct replacement do I need anything else besides the leds to do this? I don't want to spend a lot of money, so is there a mod or a trick I can do with the stock lights or leds? I don't want to mod the tails all that much, just want the stop/turning signals brighter.

Also, I read here, I forgot where, but there's free mods you can do? I already did the engine cover removal, removed the back weather strip in the engine bay, low temp thermostat, I didn't do the copper autolite plugs, I put in the Ac-Delco Iridium plugs just cause they last longer and didnt want to mess with it again. Plus just for the hell of it flushed all the fluids. Is there anything else I can do for cheap to get better gas mileage/hp?

I know this is a lot but I'm not that good at searches and I cant find enough info so I hope one of you experienced GP owners can help me.

Thanks,
Jason
