FTO AUSTRALIA

hi, i have a $2000 budget on mods

and maybe i don't want an exhaust

can you give me suggestions what i can do to it in sydney to give it more power and response? and is the exhaust really neccessary?

firstly do u want power or looks?

you can get top of the line exhaust for 2 grand and it is the fastest and easiest way to gain power, along with a filter of course.

well i dont mine a little look like a front lip spoiler

as for the exhaust some say they don't help much with power? and i don like too much noise so if i got a resonator then wouldn't it cut back the power and a waste of money purchasing the exhaust?

true if its too loud for u den a resinator would lose a bit of power.
Deres a front lip for sale at UAS but dunno if its negood.
springs are always good too, for handling and looks.
where aboutz in syd u? comin out crusin tonite?

how much gain would a hks superflow gain by itself? i was just finking of doing this and dats it?

and how much gain would i get with that pod and a ultra quiet exhaust?

or what are other things i can do?

how much does porting and polishing cost? and what is the purpose/ benefits?

thanks

i don't and don't know much about this car i just got it and just join in fto australia like last night heheeh so im outdated hehehe

i have lots of humps on my street im in liverpool so i don't think lowering it is anygood i might get struts (front)

hks SPF=8hp(avg) tested in UK conditions
ultra quiet exhaust? what's dat, all aftermarket exhaust are pretty loud! mayb just by a nice but cheap muffler.

As for port and polishing-"The engine production process is not perfect. Imperfections in the casting of parts leads to rough surfaces. A port usually involves remove/changing the size/shape of an opening. A polish smoothens the surface. The overall combination flows more than stock. Thus yielding better power."

well i guess the exhaust doesn't make it qiuet its the muffler , it was a pro v2 i think and they said it was an ultra quiet?


anyways so how much gain do you think porting and polishing get? and how much are they?


and overall what should i do to the car now?


thanks

from what i remember port and polishing is quiet expensive, around 1500 but he has a smaller car and output around 15hp gained.
anyone else can correct me as dis is from the top of my head and only a swift gti.

as for mods u wont be left with much after port and polish+Fliter

so in your opinion what can i do? with that money and what power will i be getting from my 1995 tiptronic fto?

HKS super dragger exhaust. and dat 2000!

but i rekon u should either do bodykit or rims or power. each time.
whereas if u want a bit of power abit of looks den it gets really expensive.

mayb save up later for retrim or sumthing like dat.

For performance mods, 2Gs will be a waste of time and money if yo do not intend to modify the exhaust... exhaust is the most basic mod one can do to ANY car, apart from the air filter... if you want an ultra quiet exhaust, stick to the factory job.

Remember, the more spent exhaust gases can escape, the easier it'll be for the engine to make more power as there is less restriction.

how loud is the hks? are they like them skylines you can hear like 3 blocks away?

not always, u can lose power and as well if u dont install it properly u'll get heaps of back pressure making your car choke.

where can you get them normal blue car dials (not those that lit up)

and where do you service your car and buy things in sydney?

Sorry for the thread hijack... but while your talking about exhasts... is the HKS really that good? has that got the greatest increase over other aftermaket Exhausts... and as for loudness... is it legal without a resinator??

try KMC products in glasgow scotland i just recieved some white dials from them and was very happy.
