I imagin that this has probably been posted, but thought i would raise the question again.

What is your favorite 5 minute modification? remember that car washes are not 5mins unless you have a gurnie (spelling?).

For me it is simple and looks great and really does take 5mins.

Blue park light conversion. looks great on Aruba blue car IMO.

I would have to say my smoked indicator lenses.

Have to agree with you there - Smoked side repeaters - Quick, easy and lifts the whole look of the side profile ;)

Fav 5 min mod would have to be removing the spare tyre, big weight loss!!!

Although with my old Commodore, id go a step further and pull out the rear seats and subwoofer too, only took 5 minutes and car felt alot lighter hahaha!!!!

Can't believe no one's posted this yet:

De-restrict the airbox and whack a K&N in it. Took me 5 minutes to do that to my Dad's Astra G CD and even he could feel the improvement.

my vote is Total Closure. :) this has been the most useful mod for me, 5 mins to install then never having to wind up another window again! and with the new design i have ben working on today it will be even simplier to install and wont damage the unit or car if installed incorrectly

hott_for_you doesnt know it, but the Z18XE ecu is quicker then ours to read and write :).

HID conversion

then airbox derestriction

followed by tyre pressures to 38 all round


others that rate highly are removal of TB coolant lines, and removal of thermostat

NOT exactly 5 minutes, but free nonetheless - De-restrict airbox and the 2/3 pipe mod on Vectra B's.
