Depending on make and model, the cables cost from $150-$400, the less common makes and wire boots are more costly.

 

I've a few kakis who have used Magnecors with great results, not earth shattering but can be felt (i.e. better throttle response, less misfiring with larger plug gap).

If yours is distributorless ignition system then the coils are directly hooked up on the cable (2 or 4 in a 4-cyl) so nothing much U can do with the wires.

Take out resonator, put in iridium or plat plugs for light mods. The CVT is kinda lerthagic by nature (it's auto!) so mod too much the response will still be laggy.

ok... any side effects when driving in heavy rain? (when resonator thingy removed)

 

will replace the stock plugs to iridium/platinum plugs asap

still considering K&N air filter. seems to be quite tedious - have to clean & oil regularly

 

frankly, i do find the pickup slow after stopping at traffic lights [:(]

 

but, when on expressways, did not realise already travelling at 180km/h - till my gf knock my head to slow down [angelic]

 

i liked the auto tranny when going up takashimaya.... no more leg cramps when going up 6 storey of slope to find parking lot! [sly]

 

not sure what would be the recommended/correct tire size for my car - 16" or 17"

does the shocks/coil thingy need to be upgraded/changed too?

 

overall, i find the car is suitable for easy, relaxed driving with my family

I don't think with the resonator remove you'll have problems in heavy rain unless flooding till your car's bumper level.

 

Regular changing of the stock filter (i.e. annually) is suffice to disregard the K&N hype. Unless your stock filter is way too expensive to justify an often change then the K&N is worth the extra longevity.

 

Advantages of the auto tranny is definitely for more relaxing city drive with plenty of start-stop traffic, else left leg become extra muscular! [:p]
