Coupecabriolet Clutched January 20, 2011 Share January 20, 2011 okay lah, at least you have the full control of your car and given the fact that it can give you additional power when on demand. what do you mean by additional power? 1.6A avante vs 1.6M avante. unless you mean certain models like mazda rx8, that one auto vs manual.. significant difference. or golf R DSG vs manual.. DSG faster 0-100km/h and more consistent while manual is harder to achieve the claimed timing. i think BB cars like avante, civic, altis, sunny etc.. manual or auto no difference. but driveability & convenience, auto should be enough. no offence Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enforcer533 Neutral Newbie January 20, 2011 Author Share January 20, 2011 No le, mine also 4speed auto. Ya me is Lancer EX 1.5 only. Pickup is hopeless, haha. But i like the mid & high end. Wht to do, it is a pretty 1.3 tones heavy car. Yes, mine also have some mod, coilover, front strut, rear ARB, closepod CAI intake & semi high flow cat with stock exhaust. Reach 180km/h also stable haha bro quite close to mind. my ride is 1375. but after the light mod i manage to hit 100 below 11 sec. Btw bro u change to Semi high flow cat. Can u change back to your stock Cat when inspection comes ?? Hw much u do it leh ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enforcer533 Neutral Newbie January 20, 2011 Author Share January 20, 2011 exhaust consist of 3 sections...anyway since u mention ur muffler box is already illegal...it doesnt matter anymore...juz change ur header!!! TP fine is whole exhaust setup $500, so change 1 also tio fine, might as well juz change the rest... But for AT...u will still need some back pressure, if not low end suffer....so maybe leave the mid pipe stock ba... Bro the certified muffler is coming for my ride soon I think the brand is super sprint. i trying to use the cert for the muffler to cover those illegal mods like header extractor and Cat =) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ladykillerz 4th Gear January 20, 2011 Share January 20, 2011 hardcore modding in SG is quite troublesome. ask someone to send your car for inspection is small case, but daily drive and look out for TP is again, disturbing.. it will be useful to do modification in elsewhere other than in SG. in SG, want fast, just get a fast car. there are few range of cheap fast cars in market now. 1) about 5yrs old WRX cost you less than s$50k. 2) about 5yrs old Golf GTi cost you less than s$80k. 3) etc etc. instead of trying so hard to add this and that, spend so much to increase tiny little bhp and still wondering whether will the ride pass inspection or even thinking whether can the engine take it and etc. think less, just get a faster car.. my one cent worth of opinion lah. =P Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plain Jane does make up & wear pretty clothes to look pretty. Pretty girls do the same to stand out from the other pretty girls. Even with fast car, you may still wanna mod for more power, maybe even more. But my stand is stay legal lah, ...at least the obvious stuff. Don't play with fire lah. I saw one fit, put turbo never mind, as if the front mount intercooler visible from the grill is not dead give away, he put a sticker, "HKS turbo" (or something like that) at the 5th door/boot.

C-K 2nd Gear January 20, 2011 Share January 20, 2011 should i Tc my sss? very gian to do so. SSS (manual) is already a fast car. If wanna join the darkside, a supercharger kit will do the job just fine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucaswh 1st Gear January 20, 2011 Share January 20, 2011 should i Tc my sss? very gian to do so. I wouldn't.. SSS was created solely as a high reving NA with hi-com and close ratio gear box. That's the essence of the car and which makes it unique and fun to drive. No doubt a TC SSS will be a blast but what's the point? Lower your com ratio and maybe even change to wider ratio gearbox to harness the changed driving dynamics. If want to TC, get a normal swift makes more sense.

Stratovarius Turbocharged January 21, 2011 Share January 21, 2011 You never tell her, technically she's right. Sport cars really are 2 doors or no doors. It's really a rally car or f3 level rather than an actual sports car. 'Sport' is the word used by aftermarket parts manufacturers to make their buyers feel good about the purchase. 'Performance' is another. The real pros in Australia take into account the car as a system with only 2 things in mind; Producing power and utilizing that power to the max. I.e.: Power and handling. I will relate "sports car" as those car built with the aim of motorsports. Of cos, there are alot of catagories under it, WRC, LeMans, DTM, SuperGt blah blah... so i just call them sports car in layman terms. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
