C5 free mods?
hello, recently my buddy's dad just got a 98 C5 targa A4 with 28k miles on it
its 100% stock asside from the catback that came on it, not sure what brand..anyway we are looking into modding it and got to thinkin about free mods for the C5. if there are any i would greatly appreciate some input.
these are the planned mods:
vararam intake.
black powdercoated z06 wheels.
HPP3($200 used, mainly for firming up the auto)
thanks!

Stay away from powder coated wheels, the only two wheel failures I've ever seen were powdercoated. One on the wagon wheels[97-98] one one ZO6 style. Discussed recently on Corvetteforum...

I'm going to have to try out this zip tie mod when I get my C5. I'm going to do mine differently though, I'll make 2 or 3 quarter mile runs in stock form, then do the mod, then do 2-3 more runs. That'll tell the story better than anything.
Does anyone have any pics on how to do the zip tie mod?

it's really quite simple, but no pics to show you.
basically, remove the filter assembly and just put back on the section the air filter sits in, using zip-ties to hold the air filter element in place. I did it on mine till I got the vararam, which you will really like. good luck !
