o3 accent losing a bit of power accellerating etc...
did spark plugs , nice wires, feul filter, carb clean, cleaned the k&n filter
runs a bit better now...better fuel economy........still knocks a bit tho
What else can I do to boost my acceleration a little? or generally make the car run better!?

also...is there any really good and healthy fuel/oil additives that anyone reccomends? I'm a bit skeptical about this sort of product but i've heard of good experiences as well.
thanks

ya i had that same problem kinda. actually i just wanted more power.

Heres what i got. A ram air intake form ebay. its like 30 dollars shipped. it improved the overall acceleration. Not to mention it sounds really cool.

Ok ya and that might fix ur problem

:thumbsup:

heres a pic of my car with the air intake.

I have some recommendations for fuel & lube additives...... You don't need em ....... If the oil has run out of guts ..... Its ready for replacing ...... The only fuel additive you should consider is a injector cleaning agent, which is/are a double edged sword....... You add the cleaning agent to breakdown the dirt & release it ...... But once its released...... Where's it gonna go ? .......... Where ever these chunks of grit go its gonna do damage......

So what to do ....... umm ...... :w00t:

If you can hear the engine banging....... Its worn & there's nothing you can do about that other than replace the bits that are worn, however running the thing with decent oil, MIGHT help, but if your at banging stage already I doubt it.

(When you say it knocks ....... Do you mean it makes a sloppy fitting bearing banging noise OR are you talking about Pre-ignition)

When you say "Carb Clean"....... what do you mean exactly ?

how can your car have carberator and fuel filter at the same time? You said carb clean so I assumed you meant you cleaned the carberator. Right?

Also what do you mean by cleaned K&N filter? If you mean the air filter, why don't you just buy a new one, it is 5 bucks in Walmart.

Can someone care to elaborate?
