      more than an intake...

      okay, i got a spectre cone filter on and I know I'm gonna slap on a nice exhaust within a year hopefully. but what else can I do to make my aveo better? i mean, like more horsepower/torque fuel efficiency etc, just anything not so expensive and not very difficult.

      thanks in advance.

      grounding kit is really the only thing. NOS and Boost both cost.

      magnecor wires, springs/shocks, weight redux, good rubbers, GOAT intake, like AveoSSSupercharged mentioned-grounding kit, NOS (a lil expensive, but if you save ur pennies...) some cooling mods like an oil cooler, trans cooler, more powerful radiator fan, i cant think of anything else right now, but just get creative and have fun!
      You can not commit crimes in a Aveo. Its just not fast enough.

      FWIW Nitrous is cheaper than exhaust. $400 kit brand new from a reputable company. I use this company's kit for my other car with a 75 shot and made 70WHP and 150 WTQ on low bottle pressure. Higher bottle pressure makes the shot stronger.

      Don't need more powerful radiator fan... My resistor broke not long ago and fan wasn't working. I could drive anywhere without the fan turning on. Mind you it was close to freezing outside though.

      Grounds the cheapest and best thing you could do.

      I can also get a honing bit and you can slightly polish up your TB and intake manifold...should make a slight differrence. It's like $25 and you could use it on any car you have in the future.

      Also my buddy's selling a brand new NOS nitrous WET kit with bottle warmer and purge. Most of it's unopened, all of it is brand new. His cars were stolen so he needs the cash ASAP. They're $650 normally and I will take any resonable offer. Srsly, shoot something at me and if I don't get anything better it's yours. We actually have two, but if we don't get two decent offers one is going on my 2.0 lanos Since it's WET it's a really safe kit and 55 shot should be safe.
