Default Quick and Easy 10 horse

I just got my car about a month ago and I want to get another 10 horse out of it. What is a quick, easy, and relatively inexpensive way to add 10hp? thanks!

That's a tough one, bruva. Most people pay top dollar per hp with this car.

I guess high end intake will give you a few, but surely not ten.

i am yet to read about anything that will do that for the honda...intake and exaust will add noise at different rpm's and maybe...maybe 10 hp, there is no magic black box or missing hp that honda did not give us, no intake really improves hp more than a small handful at best...so far.

Ultra-lite engine and propeller on the hood.

new rear gears won't add power, but the car will perform like it had an additional 20HP.

Pull the back up fuse for 10 seconds. Think really hard the car will be faster after reinstalling. The placebo effect is a powerful mod.

Off to S2000 talk with this thread. Keep it semi-clean or it will be locked for being stupid.

Use racing fuel. Since 100 octane has 10% more octane, you'll make 10% more power... meaning you're netting 24 HP!
