Like from my NA transplanted to turbo I had to beef up the suspension. Will a 200bhp going to 600bhp need more serious beefing up?:driver:
If your chassis was originally made for a 150hp'ish engine, beefing up the suspension and brakes may be sufficient for below 250hp. However if you're gonna cross over to 300hp mark, chassis rigidity must be considered. Some strip the car totally naked and re-weld all the factory spot and added roll cage bal bla bla. Then you need also think about changing all the bushes and upgrading the lower arm etc. You have to do that before thinking about going to 600hp. At least this is what I would do if I want to push it to 600hp mark.

Hi Guys, my car rooftop paint starting to become dull or faded. I guess it happened as I always park my car under the sun.

Im just wondering, instead of having it re-spray, can I reshine back the paint by using those Polish & Wax liquid that selling in the market? ie. Turtle Wax (meant for dull or aging color). Does it really works? I dont mind paying RM100for a bottle if it really works. I've heard many comments that those products do not deliver the promises as stated on the products...
