Default 86 Mod Suggestions?

Hello all, I am new to the forum here. I have a bone stock 86 Convertible with 77,000 miles that I just got last September. It is in really good shape but I am looking at what mods would be best to begin with. I am looking at what type of bolt on options are available. Cold Air intake, Throttle Body Spacer etc and their pros and cons. Any suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Also, i am having trouble posting pics but I hope to get some up soon.

cold air intake and throttle body spacer are both a waste of time.

some of the cheap and easy stuff you could do

exhaust - probably a lot to be gained here for a small amount


free mods:

throttle body bypass (re route coolant hoses so it doesn't pass through the throttle body and put unnecessary heat in the intake air

cut open your air lid. do a search for cut air lid

de-screen MAF

also don't waste your time on throttle body "air foils"

Just change the exaust to the LT-1 exaust and you would'nt be out alot of bucks,some on the from give them away.No other mod will make a differance unless you are going into the engine.You can always put alot of money in a magnaflow system and just lighten your wallet.
