the colour makes it look classy... but the chrome lining on the boot spoils it

Sepang!

a wrong strategy i should say.

supposedly a more practical version should be released first, before coming up with a different version.

it's already 4-2-1

if you take off the extractor, how the exhaust system will work?

it seems that a lot of ppl in this forum still don't get the idea of swapping extractors/headers.

Here's some things that you migt want to think of before modifying your exhaust.

1. Almost all newer cars nowadays comes with 4-2-1 extractors. It provides the best balanced power, which is usable low end torque, and to help push higher top speed. There is pointless if you want to buy some generic or no-name-brand extractor off the normal shops simply because it bears the 4-2-1 design. Those are nothing more than cosmetics, or worse, they have no proper design, not tuned to guarantee power increase, false power claims, and may cause power loss.

2. Bullets never increase torque or horsepower. It may alter the power curve, but it WILL NOT ADD max power. Adding more bullets will increase restriction to the exhaust gas flow. This is a fact.

3. Modifying exhaust to a spec which can put out better flow will never reduce fuel consumption. If you want to reduce fuel consumption, you can put restriction to the exhaust so that acceleration will be less, and power will significantly drop as well. Theory is simple, more input = more output.

Replacing the cat will possibly reduce restriction to the exhaust gas flow, and eventually will increase power a bit. But some cars will have O2 sensor near/at the cat, I'm not sure about Persona/Gen2 though... maybe not.

WRC555 baru cun!!!!

if you're not getting persona, it's also not worth to get myvi coz it's overpriced.

good taste!

My dad's Persona is coming by the end of next week

BL-solid white-auto.

Gonna have the black linings/side mirrors custom sprayed to white.
The SA is my cousin working at EON. So, easy to deal.

he booked just the next day after the official launch

those steelies should definitely be replaced with something more aggressive looking

16" gold wheels

it is not stupid. why ppl are waiting? imagine 16k order in just a month... how do you want to cope up with that? be logic la.

i-care ha... cannot do much i think, they don't have power over the control of production control. i guess have to push the SA to get car delivered.

luckily mine got no prob, from what i see la. i dunno maybe here in sarawak not that much order, so can get early.

yes i am. can see where i come from under my avatar on the left column

gold wheels on white car

Don't forget to redline the engine once in a while. Driving like a pussy wont help the engine 'running'.

i don't contact my SA, my SA will contact me

I'm not too worried, he's my cousin and we often meet also.

Even those big trucks also use drum brake.

As mentioned many times, front brakes are more important because power is transfered to the front wheels, and for front wheel drive, power distribution is all on the front. Rear brakes are just to assist e-braking, that's all.

Rear brake disc performance is more significant if it was rear wheel drive or all-wheel-drive vehicle.
