My first mod for passenger car?
...

3. For tires, i choose tires with big grooves since they seems to work better in the rain despite being noisy as hell in the dry. In dry, R1Rs for its current pricepoint. Used to be RE003.
I thought R1R is bad in the rain ? The grooves are not that much typical of an extreme category tire.

V720 is more affordable comparing what has been mentioned above.
How much is it? And is it *that* good? Calling vr2turbo our resident rubber specialist.

I only know Okomoto 003 is good.

Okomoto?, then you more expert......hahhahahha

V720 is from Kumho extreme range. As in most extreme tyres, they are very good in dry, bad in wet, and pretty noisy when worn....:smokin:

Not suitable for daily drive in tropical weather. Wet performance is vital for daily drivers in Malaysia imo.

Daily drive better off with UHP tyres. 15" will be Michelin PS3, Bridgestone RE-003, Hankook V12Evo2, Goodyear F1-D5.....:driver:

V701, looks promising on paper, price on par with RE003 and cheaper than PS3. I wonder if the current batch of PS3 still have rubber chipping off or not, else is probably use it again.

Though in theory, newer tires with the latest technology should perform better.

Maybe next time you try that one and give us a review again like last time? :biggrin:
My next tire change also I'm planning to try either that V701, the V12E2, or PS4 if I got budget, but it's still like 1.5-2 more years to go on my current CSC5.

Hahaha yeah, you know la.
Last time F1A2 did not have my front size 225/50/17 but now I saw in various websites overseas the F1A3 would have it, so hopefully it will be also available here. However if the price is about the same as PS4, then maybe I'd rather get the PS4 if I got the budget that is! But I'm more eager to try that V701 or V12E2 coz both look promising and seem good value for money, perfect for poor blokes like me! And I've never tried those 2 brands before as well.

Btw back to topic, here's a video about first mods to do and also agree with this thread which is tires!

Dear guys,

Apologies if there is already a thread on this..but out of curiosity as the titles goes..:adore:

Am currently using a 2.3 inch diametre piping from the extractor straight out towards the muffler with no bullet..and have been using this setup for the past 2 years..but i noticed there's a slight decline in throttle response compared to a 2 inch piping setup that i used to have earlier...

Is it normal?..or is my current diameter is too big?..some of my colleague with similar...
