The faster you shift, the lower 1/4 mile time. I broke my buddy's ebay STS (I had been driving my mustang 5.0 w/stock shifter, so I could slam gears, got in his honda with a ebay STS and broke that bish in half)


As far as the 7 mods (from my experience and my opinion):

7. Truck Nutz- LULZ, dumbest sh*t ever. agree.
6. Fake Chrome- Cheesy. Looks cheap. Real chrome is nice though.
5. BOV- WTF? A blow off valve is an awesome mod to a DSM (one of the cars that has to recirc) as the stock can only hold 11-12psi. If the cars needs to be recirc'ed, then do it, but that doesn't make it stupid or useless.
4. Race Clutch in 200hp DD- I personally like a hard grabbing clutch. One reason I got rid of my 2g GST is because I put a OEM style duralast clutch in it. My GSX has a Spec Stage 3. I <3 it.
3. Cheap exhaust- I've had some cheap exhaust set ups and some nicer set ups. My cheaper set ups sounded better.
2. Wings/spoilers- I think some look very good, some not so much. If you're rocking a mugen wing on your RSX or a ITR on your LS, sweet, sh*t looks ballin.
1. Suspension mods- Ummm, wow. I've had cut springs, ebay coilovers, skunk2 sleeve coilovers, stock springs, skunk2 lowering springs, eibach lowering springs, etc. My cut spring cars rode nice, handling improved drastically. Ebay coilovers were semi bouncy, but not too bad. Skunk2 coilovers were very smooth, but not very stiff. Skunk2 lowering springs were harder than my eibachs, so they handled a bit better, but my car with cut springs felt better.


All in all, 6 and 7 from that list were good. The rest was pretty much stupid.
