    Maybe google search on modding cars period. If you don't know what headers do I don't suggest buying anything for your car until you know...to be brutaly honest mang.

    Love it when you try and help someone and they don't even want to help themselves, go read that thread people recommended.. That is the only advice that should be given until thats done.

    I heard flame stickers add about 1000 hp
    Does removing the spare count as weight reduction?

    You're not gonna like hearing this but you aren't ready to mod yet. Read and learn first, then when you fully understand what you're doing you'll be ready to go faster. We've all been there.

    Carbon fiber stickers make your car about 10&#37; faster since they're carbon fiber. Also, simple stuff like changing your blinker and exhaust fluids make things much smoother. For a first REAL mod, I'd say take out the flywheel, LIM, power steering, a/c, and throwing in a turbo, you'll make some real power.

    Honestly... My best advice... Read the article Blue has in his sig... Learn from this site.... SAVE YOUR MONEY, its NOVEMBER after all, really too cold to start modding projects unless you'll be working in a heated garage, buy the parts and put them up until spring, and learn how to do it before you start, or just save money and let it build to buy several parts this spring.

    1) cold air intake, in COLD weather with no tuning will be bad on MPG and not worthy of noting hp increase

    2) colder thermo on COLD weather will really be bad on MPGs as its too cold to get to optimal temps

    3) too cold to put in a new tranny, or headers, or any HARD mods

    just wait til spring
