OK guys. You know how to do it already. So tell me what has been happening lately. Take your time and run the engine around for the next couple of days.

 

Glad you all like the "induction piss". sly.gif

Tien, Yeoman, Nismo

 

Tien learned the easiest thing to do for DIY, plug change. His plugs are almost fried as well.

 

Arah showed up when everyone left. I had a talk with him. Driving the 1.5L SOHC Kalos.

my first take (as an auto trans owner):

 

aveo is my first auto, having previously drove quite a few manuals. when i first started driving it around around, i realised auto lacks the "punch" of a manual car, alittle too unexciting for my liking. to start with, i already knew auto trans is like that, but nv did i expect the difference to be so great. since then, i have always been looking out for cheap mods which can add a little bit more "vroom" to the car.... and i think i found the ans today.

 

today, under the guidance of our very own inhouse guru, genie, i removed my aveo resonator. the immediate feel is that the car is now more punchy, the throttle more responsive, and pick up improved slightly. while the lorry behind used to push me when the light turned green, it is no longer the case after the mod - i managed to pick up enough speed so as not to "hog" the lorry behind (without having to step harder on the accelator). the feeling is like i m driving a manaul again, though still slightly short i must admit.

 

nonetheless, i am really happy with what this little and price-less (as in NO NEED MONEY) mod has done thumbsup.gif

 

for other auto aveo owners, if you want a little more vroom without forking out good hard earned $$, this is definitely a mod you should seriously consider.

 

now, i wonder with the new found , will FC increase? will update again after 1-2 tank run.

 

oh! did i mention the new deep vroom vroom sounds good too? wink.gif

i am in constant struggle: to hog the 3rd lane and save some petrol money or to waste some money so that the lorry/ bus behind can have some space to show off its powerful engine.... crazy.gif

Nope. The air is taken from the wheel well/arch for the Aveo. This is the location where the resonator is sited. So the air instead of going through a twist of the resonator is now draw the air directly from the wheel well/arch. However, air filter will get dirty fast but no problems. Changing air filter should be done every 10k. FYI even with the resonator, the air filter became very dirty at 10k.

i am afraid you cant see the mod... it's so invisible unless you know what you are looking for!

 

hehehe good also cos then the SA mech probably wont notice the removal and hence wont void warranty sly.gif
