Modifications done to Inspira

[jamesweh]

How is the condition of the tyres? Someone offered me this rim at 1.2K, its a 17" 7.5J, I dont know whats the offset. But yes, I am interested in the Evo rim.

 

[Sylver]

I had a recommendation from a workshop to install up to Pro Kit Eibach, as Sportsline is very stiff for our road conditions. Spring rate is also different for 1.8MT. Suitable if on 2.0CVT due to engine weight. Unless we install fully adjustable dampers.

A workshop quoted me RM1150 for the Pro Kit springs, inclusive installation. Workshop location at Kepong.

Sorry, didn't include image.

 

[jamesweh]

Wow, nice but for a NA, not enough back pressure as it is meant for a X.

 

[Sylver]

yea. probably for someone who had highly mod their Inspira or fitted with a turbo kit. Never know.

 

[Sylver]

Just fitted with Eibach's Pro-Kit springs. IMO, feels more comfortable than the stock springs. Doesn't look lowered much. Good for everyday use.

 

[jamesweh]

Looks good Sylver! How is the ride? You mentioned it is even more comfortable than stock springs, but has the floating feeling at high speeds gone? Yesterday on way from Seremban back to USJ, I was on full throttle all the way 200 - 210 kmh. Definitely floaty at this speeds.

 

[Sylver]

Yea, the comfort is really good. that is also my requirement. went over bumps with ease. traveling at 160kmh (ssshhhhh...) on LDP and didn't feel any floating. need to try it at 200kmh. Haha...

btw, bro James, you stay in USJ?

 

[jamesweh]

Yes, there is a set of second hand Tian Sprigs for sale! That will be my next mod.

 

[Starkiller]

Planning to change my ecu, but completely clueless when it comes to management modding

Need to know 2 things guys:
1) What Ecu is best
2) How much gain is expected

Also planning to install Evo X Rear bumper and rear widebody + Jebat Front bumper

 

[jamesweh]

In general car manufacturers are smart blokes. So they have almost optimize the programing for fuel, timing and even the MIVEC. However withstanding this, I did some hardware mods, I cut off the cat., put in a free flowing muffler and the cheapest drop in after market air filter. I got 10HP tweaking with the original ECU. Now when you say you want to change your ECU, I gather you must be thinking of 2 things, either a reflash or a Piggy Back like Unichip. My last advice, unless you have hardware improvements besides what I listed like High Cams or a Bolt on Turbo, your gains will be restricted to about 10HP and in a heavy weight like a Lancer/Inspira, its not going to translate into good butt feel!

For those interested in upsizing their brake discs, i had gotten an email reply from Speedworks on their oversized brake discs:-

"For the Inspira, the front disc is 330mm while the rear is 320mm.
Price for the front is RM 1750.00 while the rear is RM 1450.00.

Yes, it fits perfectly in the inspira. Do come to our workshop to see it in our inspira 1.8MT demo car."

 

[jamesweh]

So Sylver, are you from Speedworks?

 

[Sylver]

No la bro. I sent them an email on this and they replied. Haven't got the chance to go down there as I've been swamped with work and outstation travels.

 

[DM3]

so anybody seen the speedwrks MT turbo?

 

[jamesweh]

My only grouse for going for the upsize is that you have a very small caliper with a huge disc. Whether it translate to reduce braking distance or not, there is some question.
Yah, everyone is anticipating a great Speedworks Turbo kit for the Inspira. If it retails for <8K, I am sure there would be a lot of interest.

 

[skloda]

All sifus here , how much would it cost to convert an inspira into an evo 10 kit and Where ??? i saw GC-Motorsport advertise it only cost 2.5k for the kit ..

 

[DM3]

kits mostly Frp, thts why cheap.
better get PP type for durability

 

[jamesweh]

I think we should go for a kit which is durable, stay away from Fibreglass: I think a PP Kit would cost at least RM4K. If anyone can find a cheaper kit please post here. I would not mind supplier's posting. I am now looking for a good extractor, mandrel bend, equal lenghts and a 4 - 2 -1 not necessary to be in stainless steel. Any ideas? Almost abandoning the Turbo dream instead concentrating on getting more power via cams. I want to sell my car in a years time. Dont want to spend so much until its hard to recover the cost. But a body kit looks a must.

 

[DM3]

looks mod is probably the main reason we get this car eh? :P
well so far frm rainbow/vox got the pp kits but rather costly.
some of us are waitin for the R3 kits comin soon
