Re: free/best mods (the anti-rice)
Information please...what do you want to do? Set your hair on fire with air friction? Fast off the line? Look good? Exhaust tones to die for? Will you do these yourself? What is the budget? Do you have gullible friends to help? Do you have tools? Does your neighbor have tools? If you want free, I suggest a good wash/wax/vacuum...reply please, over... :seeya

Re: free/best mods (Stevo)
To get a little more power without spending money is to advance your timing. Before I run, I advance the distributor a couple degrees. But be careful if you turn it too much and it dies you'll have to retard it to crank it back up. :cheers:
