What are the least and inexpensive things I can do to gain a little increase in my Hondasl's acceleration?
My car is an 03 Honda Element awd 4 speed automatic. Off the line, it is pretty peppy for what it is(close to quick but definitely not fast lol) but I want to know what I can do to increase the acceleration off the line and from a dead stop. Tips? No cai plz. Better tires perhaps?

Inexpensive? Strip the interior of weight. It won't give you any additional power but it will increase the power-to-weight ratio and it's FREE!

All Honda motors have a common problem with the valves getting tight. They need to be adjusted every 60,000 miles. A rough idle and lack of power are the results of tight valves.

HONDA ELEMENT TROLL STRIKES AGAIN.

It's an auromatic box on wheels designed to carry stuff from Ikea and tables from antiques fairs. You might be able to remap the ecu.

Oh look, it's the Honda Element TROLL again. There is nothing that is inexpensive that will make a measurable difference to an un-aerodynamic box that weighs 3,500 pounds and probably doesn't make anywhere near it's original 160hp. Sorry Marc. You can ask a hundred more times and that won't change the answer.
