Default Small Performance Mods

I have a stock 01 Eclipse GS with 85k on it, in pretty good condition.

What small performance mods would you recommend?

I don't want to do anything too extreme/expensive (no turbos etc), and I wont be racing this car seriously, but I'm interested in getting a little more jump out of it. I also don't want to do anything that will kill the reliability as I will be putting some miles on the car.

Thanks

Intake and header back full exhaust. There isn't really a way to get a noticable gain ut of a GS without forced induction..

Hey guys I bought a 2005 Mitsubishi Lancer Oz Rally and I just got sponsored and I guess you could say I'm new to this stuff at least with Mitsubishi I am. So here's the scoop. I need to know what kind of "Cold Air Intake" I need. Should I go with a 4.0" dryflow airfilter shot neck 5" element? Please email me ASAP bjam18@gmail.com

Good job jacking the guy's thread...make your own.

As to the original thread starter, exhaust and cai...good for all of 5-10hp if that much imo.

ok thanks guys and sry for the late reply

so let's say I did go with a cold air intake & exhaust,

- What brands can you recommend?
- Keeping in mind I'm not a mechanic or anything, are they the kind of thing I could install myself?

Oh, also, the car gets a little "touchy" when I get over 85 (compared to newer cars). I'm thinking either power steering fluid or alignment, opinions?

Thanks
