Hm.. very fishy~

Why fishy?
Actually Vtec runs better without filter..

yup.. fishy enough.. even the lotus R3 neo cps need to put some good things inside oso manage to just get 145 bhp.. just open-pod alone can get 154 hp?.. hehehe.. i like to get 1 of those

i think he have some 'toyols' inside but is not owning up to it..

i doubt an open pod change alone will add that much horsepower. the most you may get is around 13xhp.
but an open pod + tuned length exhaust + pnp should be quite decent for a neo cps.
btw, the snlre was uprated with titanium header for the lighter feel and better weight distribution purpose. it was still on k&n drop in air filter.

lol borgwarner finally collaborated with proton

sori for late reply.... it can compensate but not more because the powerband is narrowed down.... it is like adding a nozzle to a water host in order to spray the water further than usual.

Hey guys, any ways to improve car handling? Especially going at about 130km/h, wanna make the car more "stable".

Vtec runs better due to their setup of old engine is different! Try on new Vtec see the result lols.....
The old Vtec cams and lifter works in a different way where when the Vtec open there will be volume air surge thats why open pod will improve.
You can also see some car with stock spare air ballast near to the air filter (eg wira vdo) because this is to reduce the air surge effect on the performance.

if you could stand the harder stiffer suspension feel, changing to lowered sports suspension setup will help in high speed straight and a lot lesser
'floating' feel.
else, front strut bar, rear strut bar and change to bigger arb for cornering sensation
am using apm performax abs and spring. stiffer ride but very less floating feel while driving over 200km/h.
btw, all i want for x'mas is getting rid of the irritating rattling sound from the rear. when to accessories shop and the guy told me it was a foreman job coz seems like suspension bushes giving sound but bushes already upgraded to pu all round. went to regular workshop to check and the foreman could not locate the source.
it becomes even more irritating after recent rear windscreen change.

my sound came back after the dog bone change... the mech say this is an unsolvable problem... he say he put some wd40 on it to kill the noise but he said once the wd40 hilang the sound will come back... n sure enuff 2 weeks later the sound is back~

i wonder why mech dont apply automotive grease on it? is it they sked the screw will be undone coz got grease there?

Is the brand Gaido(http://gaido.com.my/index.htm) good for usage in waja in regards to the timing belt?

The Gaido ok ok lah..... somesort packing nice.... quality i think better than normal

Quality's better than normal? Normal as in OEM?

Aiya~ timing belt oso wan to kecoh~

Timing belt is an integral part of the car what. Later putus during driving die loh.

timing belt wont just simply putus one la~ it need to be either keras or koyak already then oni will be more prone to putus.. normal usage wont putus out of sudden~ this is why u need to check it often and make sure change on time... other then tht its quite durable as its rated for at least 80k

tht is like 16 times u go regular service.. if 16 times u service n u nvr once take a peak at ur timing belt, if it putus its ur fault.. not the belt fault

Whatever timing belt i use..... i will change every 60k km.... Preventive Maintenance is a guideline to prevent disaster failure

yah me too check timing belt regularly. wah done changing my problematic front seat to semi bucket

picture plz..
