Beehive3783 Turbocharged August 10, 2011 Share August 10, 2011 First mod: change of rims from 15" to 17". Improved handling. Second mod: cold air intake from foglamp area to stock airbox. Improved throttle response. Good and cheap mod IMO Third mod: cheapo aftermarket cheena HID, now back to normal bulbs cos I gave up the idea of projector retrofits Fourth mod: Changed ICE system to a more decent one. Enjoying the music everyday. Just ordered a new head unit and that will make things better I think, with the USB connectivity function. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toledo 1st Gear August 10, 2011 Share August 10, 2011 my first car in 1994 - charade. added in cyclone. subsequently : wira - cyclone also. galant - open pod ( terrible - low end suffered) toledo - piggy back ecu (got improvement) s40t4 - stock (fast enough). s60 - ecu remap (wow!) along the way, one thing i learned is that if u wanna tune/mod your car, go to the specialist for your car make. best if u go back to the manufacturer's sports div if they have one. the $$ spent will be worth it cos u can really feel the diff at your butt. there are too many snake oils in the market.
