Not from anyone that I know of.

But I have tried something similar where the ignition coils are enhanced.

 

IF I am not wrong, you will have more "torque" earlier in the rpm range and it will feel like a more powerful car.

 

FC will improve slightly.

 

If you're familiar with dyno graphs, the change will give you a much larger area under the graph but not much more in terms of Hp and Nm.

 

The daily drive around town will feel like a very very small supercharger has been installed to your car.

 

Thanks bro, maybe I will give it a try. I was quoted 36000 yen with shipping.

With a car that light and nimble and powerful. . The tct is probably better than a manual

 

Only afraid of the TCT's problem LOL... Dunno if any workshop in singapore can maintain the car or not... If we are looking at (Ahem) to fix the problem, I think I will give it a pass...

After 4 years on the 17" stock 'flower' rims (that's how an ex 156 Alfisti fren of mine calls them!) on my end 2009 159, I've grown used to these babies. Yeah, I think the TI rims are great and I would love to get the 19" Brera Prodrive S 5-hole horseshoe rims for Monica, and though I don't know who designed these flower rims, but they've really grown on me and find them pretty unique amongst wheel designs on any cars. Yeah! So plugging for my flower rims!

 

Your side skirts look better with the 19" Ti rims, you know? [thumbsup]

 

I see. but not too bad in price for 245s in 19s

 

I was quoted less than $220 ea for Kumho KU31. :o[thumbsup]

Neutral Newbie

You can try ebspares in the UK.

 

How much was the workshop charging you for the parts?

You may want to try local parts stores like leeco etc...

 

Ebspares doesn't list the fuel injectors on their website. Not sure if they stock it. Am going to call leeco to check out the prices.

 

The workshop quote me 600 (without labor) per injector. And I have two (supposedly) down :(

That's 1,200 without including labor. Sigh. My mistress is starting to demand more of my wallet's attention

That's the best thing about it.
