Well I just cleared my corners. I have also gutted the airbox. What would you say would be the top ten do it yourself mods for a 2001ssei? All supplies being found in the garage or at canadian tire. Would taking the throttle body off and cleaning it be worth my while. Wife works until 11 so I have about 6 hours to kill.

Tb cleaning can help. Also if you haven't already drop in a 180tstat to keep things running cool

Probably. Any autoparts store should stock thermostats.

1. 180 tstat
2. Clear corners
3. 3.4 pulley
4. gut airbox or FWI / high capacity air filter
5. Silverstars
6. BC club decals ! (I put mine on yeaterday!!)

That'* all I've got...
