Rgds,
Ace

Ace & Yu, show me your lists!!!
I know both of you have very long lists of aftermarket products fitted on your Coupes!!!

 

[Ace]

Yu should be the one to have the longest list. Anyway, to give some example. Heres some of my mods.(anyway I'm won't be listing out my sound system as I already shown it before on other tread) :_:

RD1 1.8l Manual.

Throttle body custom Mod (to make it open up quicker)

Spark Plug Cable (9.2mm very slight improvement)

Platinum plug (don't really feel it, may be will try iridium next time)

Lighten custom pulley (acceleration quicker respond, rev and pick up faster. Blacksamurai should know this. He tried before)

SARD Fuel Pressure Regulator (used to match my tuning preference)

Direct twisted center bullet (this replace the cat convertor giving more flow)

Fujitsubo Legalis R muffler (One of the best mod I had, great sound. Deep like supra)

DIY direct air intake (give more mid range power)

DIY manifold coolant bypass (cooler manifold = cooler air = better power)

Pivot RPM warning light (very important for quick shift)

Razo Gear knob (providing excellent grip)

Razo Pedal

SpeedWorks Strutbar

Performance front brake pad (slightly better than stock)

BSA 355 TEOT Series 17" Wheel (very good quality and craftmanship)

HanKook Tyres (good grip and quite)

Eagle Eye HID 8000K headlight (super bright at night)

LED dimmer light

That for now, I think :_:

 

[Daniel Lee]

Ace, good good!
You make me wanna see your car now........hehehehe.......
Will the direct air intake sucks in the hot air generated by the engine ah?

 

[Ace]

Daniel,
I put in extra flexible hose to channel air intake from side head light where there is small opening for the outside air coming in.

All members, please contribute your mods please.

 

[Daniel Lee]

I thought of installing a K&N direct air intake but afraid it will sucks in the hot air.

Till now, I only install:

Zenden front Strut Bar

That's for now only..........hehehehe........

Ace,
sorry to bring this up...just wanna know more about the custom throtle body mod and the lighten custom pulleys..where did you got it and what brand is it?or its just the stock parts but you modified it?and did you did the port and polish?

Cheers :proud:

I want to know about the monifold and the 17" rims. Is 'DIY', "do it yourself"?
Is that a brand? Is that manifold expensive?
Now i'm confident i can get 17" rims onto my ride, can i ask what tyres are you using, i mean the size? 215/45?

Another thing is that i've been meaning to change my brake discs as well, but my friends advise not to, as my back is bumbbell brakes. What do you think, are you still using your backs as dumbbell? I was to get bigger discs to improve breaking, but is this nescessary, as i can might as well go with better pads?

Thanks a bunch Ace...!!

p/s: i'm driving an auto RD1 1.8L, and not much into performance mods, but i do want to get some of the above done, to get better driving. Ace, do you know any good body kits and body spray shops to introduce to me? I'm planning to get body kits and a full body paint spray.
