    Hi Guys,

    (sorry if this has already been posted, I couldn't find it)

    I'm looking for a few mods I can do for cheaper (under $100) that'll help with things like engine maintenance, improved gas mileage, handling, cosmetic etc. Does anyone have a mod that they recommend in this price range?

    A few that I have found are:

    EGR Delete
    Rear Wiper Delete
    1-Step Colder Spark Plugs
    License Plate Relocator Kit

    Let me know what you guys think!

    Reys Mazda Parts on FB sells HPFP rebuild kit for like 35 bucks, the X-ring inside helps prevent fuel dilution in your oil.

    Driver mod. Super cheap and free. Learn to drive the car at it's limits both performance and economy wise before modifying anything.

    I don't understand rear wiper deletes. Is there no precipitation where these people live?

    Rear motor mount, solid shifter bushings, shift knob and an adapted performance SSP. And nothing beats good maintenance

    I always delete my rear wiper. I find them completely useless.

    Why? I frequently use mine on account of finding it pretty useful to be able to see out the rear.

    Ive never had an issue seeing out of my rear window in even heavy rain. It could be useful in snow or if your car is really dirty, but that's about it. If it was that useful all cars would have them.
