Smile What are ALL of the Home Depot mods...?

I already have the HD Boost controller, Home Depot Torque Brace & Home Depot/RE Amemiya cold air intake. They ain't pretty but they work...

There's just "something" about Doing-it-yourself and really feeling a difference...

Could you guys post some other cheap, but effective mods...







For the record: I'm planning to order an N-tech Hi-flow cat(will order on the 5/1) and I'm still searching for a good deal on an SMIC.

High boost PVC couplers. Not sure I would want a turd pusher part in my car though.

I think a Corian top rear wing would look nicer than sheet metal.

How about bug zapper bulbs in the side vents. Pretty cool egh? Soft blue glow with a nice Zap and pop to it. I think they are on sale for $15.99

Get some sheet metal and create ducting to force more air thur the radiator, i did and dropped my temp from 200 degrees to 180. im running on the stock radiator and was just about to get a koyo radiator, im glad i didn't cuz if i was running any cooler, i would never get out of warm up mode (kinda ironic huh?). I failed to mention that im also running 30%radiator fluid and have also taken out the A/C condensor (my A/C compressor is busted anyways).

good luck

Stainless-steel floorboard escape hatches are in aisle 13B. Very popular with the Eclipse crowd.

Garden Spade Handle short shifter conversion kit.
I was kidding about the screen door shock.

I was thinking of making some aero kits made from crown molding. Any takers?

I hear those are pretty unreliable actually! Something about how they fall off for absolutly no apparent reason at high speeds? Anyone else familiar with this problem?

It's documented in the DSM TSB that you shouldn't use machine screws and green washers to hold down diamond plate floorboards.

Best part about those floorboards is they magically reappear when you pick up somebody running from the cops.

lmao @ FD owners on here!!! You guys are crazy. I've got the ghetto gutter guard mod goin on my gagt and it looks good, plus i've got many compliments. I need to try some of those mods. How about a petco mod...2 hampsters running around spinning your turbines...petco claims a top boost of 15psi if the hampsters are really excited.
