keep it stock?

ok, i have a 1987 turboii with 45,000 miles thats completely stock

since its sort of rare with that low mileage, i dont really want to mod it, but is there anything i can do to get a little more of a kick in the pants while keeping is pretty much stock? (i am aware that seems alike a contradiction of terms)

RB full exhaust and FCD increases 59BHP dyno proven by Racing beat..Also upgrade non noticable things like brakes, clutch and suspension. Air intake.. All these keep the stock look with added power and performance...

BTW post pics please!!!!!

Makes perfect sense, kinda what I did with mine. Take a look here first then look over his whole site.

do the basic **** man..really how hard is it..header, high flow cat, cat back exhaust..intake..slotted rotors, better brake pads..sb brake lines..shocks and lowering springs..lighter wheels..i dont know if you want to go that far but there it is..you would have to do everything one at a time since thats what i did..start off with the obvious then work your way up..but honestly stock they will last longer, modded out they will last only so long..

yes take my word also, i put a blower on mine at 35gs . then the guys blew it up on the dyno. so i rebuilt mine at about 37gs street ported, exhaust all that stuff. so my best advise would be if it isnt broke dontttttttttttt mess with it, do just the basic bolt ons you will love the feel and it will last way longer. ps. i still have the juice hooked up to mine but havent used it yet.good luck
