Hey guys whats up I am about to buy a 1990 Plymouth Laser FWD Tubro car with 89000 miles on it. This will be my first DSM i have ever owned. I was wondering what I can do in terms of cheap upgrades or performance enhancers. The car itself runs strong and the turbo hits hard. Im am buy it for 2000 and it of course that maroon color which isn't all that great but its a clean car. Anyway any ideas would greatly be appreciated. :dsmrule: :woowoo:

Rewire the fuel pump, hack the MAS, and get a boost controller. Then sell it and get an AWD drive cause you aren't going to be able to keep tires on it. :lol:

The 1G guys will be able to tell you more probably but I know on a 1G a boost controller is big difference maker. The JOE P MBC seems to be a popular one to get and they are only like 45-50 dollars.

Yeah, you will have yourself quite the burnout machine in that fwd laser. What are your goals for the car? If it is drag racing, you may want to wait and get an AWD. If it is for highway racing, go FWD. Stock, you can shread the tires off a fwd.

Don't hack the MAS yourself if you don't know what your doing. I'd start with an Intake (new K&N Filter and cut your can around the filter open a bit. Get a aftermarket Boost gauge and boost controller. Elite also has these locally.

From there get an exhaust. If you never want to see 11s go with 2.5 inch and save money over a 3 inch system. I'd get a downpipei at the same time.

Form there, IC piping, clutch, and well the list goes on and on.

I have a used stock KN filter if your looking for a cheap upgrade...

Tires Id personally get Yokohama ES100's or Sumitomo HTZRII's. Very sticky and cheap. www.tirerack.com

Ive heard bad things abouthte Kuhmo 712s... I guess they dont corner well at all. Other than that they are ok.

:bounce: yeah ahh... mybe hes got a factory freak also...? lol :3gears: but yeah burning out ....get used to it once you start putting modd's in her... I have next to nothing in mine... all i need are some slick's and i could see 12's in the spring im hoping for that at the minmum. get a boost controller, k&n, 3'' exhaust 2g exhaust manifold fuel pump if so desired, afc port your turbo o2 houseing and exhaust manifold, also hack the bottom hunny comb out of the mas, check out this site its a great way to figure out what you want for the money you have to spend.... its www.vfaq.com it mostly shows you how to do all the stuff i previously stated above. oh and if you want your car to look like its flying keep the stock suspention otherwise drop it slightly with some springs and buy some aftermarket struts.
