QUOTE(cwd8769 @ Nov 30 2008, 02:55 PM) Normally for p.wira 2004 1.5GLI can up for how fast? what makes u think changing centerbox and muffler will make the car lighter 40litle can go for how many KM? I have change the center box and muffler. But i found that the car still very heavy. I will change 13" rim to 15" next weeks. See can more heavy or not  Normally wira increase performance and save flue is change center box and muffler. right? Branded air filter like KNN, HKS and Apexi's is get big different compare with which common brand? Low power car like my wira will take effect if i installed open port air filter?   changing to 15" will futher kill ur FC |

QUOTE(the_catacombs @ Nov 30 2008, 07:44 PM) ur car manual or auto tranny??... even he use the lightweight rim, that doesnt defeat the fact that the rim is wider and bigger.. u still ned to overcome friction so that the car movesi've seen wira 1.5 habis meter (180kmh) before.... normal drive, 40L can average 4xx km on ur tripmeter..... of coz dats depend on ur driving style... if u wanna increase performance, dont think about saving fuel so much.... if u wanna save fuel, dont start modding ur car... besides, we must also see what kinda modification u do to ur car... for example, exhaust pipe, not necessary the bigger the better.... i would strongly suggest u to use "branded" air filters such as K&N (not KNN) or apexi... at least the performance gain is assured.... i've heard enough terrifying stories people using cheapskate filters that broke down or being sucked into the engine.... low power engine also can modify... not necessary must be nice car only can modify.... modifying scene has no car types barrier.... depends what kinda 15" rim he use lor... |

QUOTE(the_catacombs @ Nov 30 2008, 07:56 PM) how much extra rolling friction he will need to overcome if he upgrade from 175 tyres to 195 tyres??... well, u tell me, my math sux lolz..anyway, previously using 185/15.. after the tyre end its life, i changed to 195/15.. can feel the drag definitely  whats more 13" if ori proton is using 165/13 and whether if he can afford a true blue lightweight rim is still a question |

QUOTE(the_catacombs @ Dec 1 2008, 01:09 AM) u mentioned about da disadvantage mah... u explain more about it lor.... i wished to do the calculation for you but i forgot how to apply them already.. my physic went rusty..how come i switch from 195 to 185 cannot feel any difference??...  is ur 185 and 195 similar tyre model??... i dont know about you.. maybe ur car was stripped to lighter curb weight? since my car already underpowered with tonnes of heavy stuff in my car, every single drag friction can be felt instantly.. oh ya, tyre model are different.. previously using 185 sime astar and nao 195 falken ziex |
