Huggable Clutched July 16, 2002 Share July 16, 2002 (edited) Hi Woverine! Welcome to MCF You can get the K&N drop-in air filter for your Rio, can feel the better throttle response immediately! Edited July 16, 2002 by Huggable Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just in case any bro out there who has had experience in Korean Mods or performance parts ....comments and KangTao's are very much welcomed.. Chao! Am driving a Korean too (Daewoo Lanos 1.5 M) The cheapest mod you should go for would be to install the surbo* to complement your air-filter Check out more details from the surbo site at www.surbo.net *Disclaimer - I am not related to the inventor of the surbo nor do I collect any commission from those who eventually install the surbo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neilchua Neutral Newbie July 16, 2002 Share July 16, 2002 (edited) The surbo discussion also in MCF at : http://www.mycarforum.com/forum/gforum.cgi?post=3322 I think the obvious mod are - spark plugs, get Denso? - power cables? this one I have no idea what is good - K&N filter - Install PowerPass (see: http://www.mycarforum.com/forum/gforum.cgi?post=875 .... it shuts ur air con compressor when you need the acceleration) Edited July 16, 2002 by Neilchua Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anakin Clutched July 16, 2002 Share July 16, 2002 woof, get a GTi or M or Type R badge to stick on the boot door. Instant 1/2 hp increase ... hahaha ... juz kidding ... actually almost book the Rio h/b last may. test drove it & power quite ok to me, even with 4 adults since car weight is less than 1 tonne. imagine 108hp for 1 tonne ... wouldn't be exactly a 'hamster' i suppose when compared to many cars in terms of hp/kg. hmm, may be can start a thread to see what u guys have in terms of hp/kg ...

Seansene 1st Gear July 17, 2002 Share July 17, 2002 Eh, my 1.6 is lesser powderful than yours 1.5 ok, so what "hamster" power you talking?? Just kidding, welcome to MCF and enjoy your car! My advice would be to try it stock for awhile first, you may just be satisfied with it, and your wallet (as well as any dependants) will be grateful...
