Ah,they are actually no big deal and you probably wont care but I bought 2 goodies. I went out and ordered myself a K&N Filtercharger. I needed a new filter so i'd figured that should spend the big bucks and get the K&N filter. I know what you are thinking,"Erin got suckered into buying an K&N filter cuz they claim to free up HP." Nooo...that's not what I was thinking. I just wanted a good quality filter.But it being a K&N makes it sound more special lol. So that's mini mod number one. Mini mod number two is valve covers. I've been scouring the web for some nice valve covers for my 3.1. Well guess what? Nobody makes nice valve covers for a 3.1. However I found this guys website that had the exact same car and engine as i and he had some nifty valve covers on his car. So i e-mailed him asking where he got them from and he said a Fiero 2.8 V6.You can go to this guys website (http://downndirty10.tripod.com/downndirtywithjay/id16.html) and check out his to give you an idea of what they look like. So i scoured the web some more and came up with nothing until today on e-bay when I found a pair of red ones. SCORE!! So I bid on them and won them! They need a fresh coat of paint but my dad is the master at painting stuff so i'm not worried. So watch out, these modifications might be small now but just wait until spring when I really start the fixin'... my little V6 is gonna kick some ass! hehe :D

K&N is a good filter and is cheaper in the long run since you can clean and re-use it.

There sure are some heated debates on message boards regarding the K&N and its supposed poor filtering.
