i got a 98 max and i already have and air intake.. wut performance mods should i do if i got 1200 to spend

 

Depends on what your going for.

Performance :
y pipe, catback exhaust, mevi if your auto, ECU upgrades, pulley, STS ??

Looks:
Lowering Springs, Sturt/shocks, FSTB, RSB , Body kit, HID's, Red Clears ??

there is good list to work from.

Good luck

 

being as theres no ecu upgrade for the 98 mevi isn't an option, i would say y pipe, cat, catback for power. shocks, struts, fstb for handling.

 

my mistake, i thought it was 97.

 

Read the FAQ. BlackonBlack98, the only substantial power increase you mentioned is Y-Pipe. And 96White, good shocks and springs are not for looks. Neither are FSTB or RSB, you can't see either of those.

 

the shocks and the springs lower the max which is looks last time i checked. and yes you can see the FSTB if the hood is open, i am giving him ideas, im not here to be Ridiculed.

 

Y-Pipe.... then buy some lottery tickets with the extra $1k and try to win enough for a turbo...

have fun

 

so... i was gonna throw out some ideas, but i don't wanna get my ***** busted, so i'm not going to, since this thread is so rough. all i can advise is:

read the faqs

 

I would get a budget Y~$180
Get some used springs in the FS section~$100-$120
Get an inexpensive catback(obx)~$200
NX wet kit~$500
UDP & belts~$140
cheap FSTB~ $30


I think that about spends the entire $1200.....

 

don't belive everything you read.

 

What is that supposed to mean? The reason I know that intake, cat, catback don't make that much power is because I have them and am not impressed very much. Sorry guys, I'm in a negative mood today.

It depends on the direction you want to take the Max but I'd say go for overall package. Homeade intake, $25 gives that oh so important sound. Greddy Catback, $500-$600 gives slight gains, sounds the best and then you can sleep at night for knowing you have the best exhaust. Tint, $200 takes away the fish tank situation. Budget Y, $200 best $$$ you'll ever spend. UDP, $200 helps put all that added power down. DC's, $40 and looks hel!a good. Some of this changes a little depending if your 5spd or auto. Thats it you've spent $1200, now go install it all. When your done installing buy more.

I'm not riducling you, its more of a constructive criticism. I think that people should consider a drop more than a visual mod. So you can honestly say that you don't mind having the increased handling because of the lower center of gravity. I just don't want you to portray to the kid that being slammed is cool. I can't stand to see people in civics and 'tegs bouncing all over the place. Actually, I hate to say that, its all good because it looks awesome when your not moving at all. Afterall, thats what cars are for right...sitting still in parking lots!

 

some of yor options are, mevi, chip, y pipe, catback, udp

If I were you I'd do mevi, chip, y pipe.
