DIY mods.
I thought maby we could help each other out and post you ideas or even things you have done to mod your NA in a cheap and easy DIY way.
Personally I have only painted my valve cover red Wich only cost the price of a rattle can. And my next mod that I'm going to get around to hopefully some time this week is, I hate having the aux cable for my phone/iPod to the deck running around the shifter so what I'm going to do is run a USB iPod cable threw the center console from where the cup holders should be up to the back of the he's unit and connect it to the USB port. I'll take many pics and post a full write up soon as I can.
Any other useful ideas?

its easier than that. put your key in the ignition and get under your steering wheel and feel around until u feel something seriously vibrating. there 2 boxes unplug the one that makes it stop buzzing.
enjoy!

The few mods I've done were cutting through the firewall to draw the cold air through a series of plumbing elbows into the stock airbox.
Built my own adjustable endlinks, added cruise control, Pilot D shape steering wheel.
But, the best mod has got to be shortened and raised shifter. No need to drop the the elbow now, and, shifting is literally done with the finger tips.

Did this years ago..... Best under $5 mod EVER!
Camera Mount for your style bar.....
(1) - 2.5" exhaust clamp - $<$3.00
(2) - 1/4 x 20 nuts - $from your parts bin or chump change
(1) - 1/4 x 20 x 1 1/2 bolt - $from your parts bin or some more chump change
(1) - about 12" of silver duct tape (you HAVE to use duct tape in all projects, right?)
The Camera screws onto the 1/4 x 20 bolt sticking up. The second nut tightens it so it doesn't swivel. With this setup you can point your camera in any direction. You can watch your gauges, aim at your feet, the road forward or backward. Put it high on the hoop or low (like I have it) on the crossbrace.
