I have an 8th Generation Mitsubishi, and I wanted to know if there are any modification that are relativley cheap to do. Of course I want to buy a body kit here in the new future...but $$ is tight right now.

Welcome to TGC!. The only stupid questions are the ones you don't ask. There are several free mods you can do to give your car a little more punch. Right off the bat, there's the BYO intake mod, the throttle cable adjustment and the throttle coolant bypass. All of those are in the tutorial section I think. You can add a muffler for about $100 installed if you go with the Bosal prosport like I have. An intake is going to run about $175-$200. An upgraded Fuel Pressure Regulator is about $150. New plugs and wires are a good inexpensive mod. Headers are a bit more expensive.

Best thing to do is look around and ask questions. We're here to help and offer advice and suggestions based on our experience. Most importantly, Have Fun!

Yeah clear the corners. That will improve the looks of the car alot. When I first did it I caught myself starring at my car all day. Then get a CAI then an exhaust. This will help the performance.

Definatly clear the corners! Also Chip gave a bunch of good ideas. As for not knowing what they meant... hehe---On the main page there is a tutorials heading, select that and 8th Generation. Browse those mods and see what you think you can do. Good luck. Always nice to have more women.

What are you looking to do? Performance? Appearances?

For appearances:
clear corners
window tint
hiper white bulbs
spoiler
nightshade for the tail lights
covers for the headlights and/or tail lights

For performance:
Intake
Exhaust
upgraded spark plugs and wires

These are a few things out there that can be done relatively inexpensively. Good luck. Let us know if you have anymore questions. :thumbsup:

Clear the corners and put some new bullbs. I have the Piaa Super Xtreme Super White's for the headlights, Nokya Artic Blue 893's for the fogs, and PolarG's for the corners.

Yes and No. Some days you may want to drive around with clear corners and some days you may want to throw on the covers for a different look. Or you may not want to clear the corners but use the covers instead https://www.thegalantcenter.org/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif
