Hi skloda, 2.5k is fiber material...better go for PP material...even it expensive...about 4-k, but u wont regret after u install. If fiber one, once kena bump, it will koyak.

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.

so fast wanna sell?
why? or just need to have another more powerful project car?

Bro, where did you buy the sumitomo 4 pot brake? care to share how much is it?

And I also tested 1.8 mt Inspira Turbo at Speedworks recently...duduk tepi je la...
the pick up feels tremendous...
with 0.7 boost, 190hp and still not finished tuning yet...
the brake rotor looks huge...need 18" to fit...

 

[DM3]

wow,

any chance they'll complete the BOT/tuning etc??

 

[jamesweh]

DM3 beeen getting bored with Inspira, brought it to track on 6th November, ran a continuous 10 laps. Sumitomo 4 Pot live up to expectation but brake feel is spungy (Could be corrected via steel braided hoses) Been trying to wear out the useless Conti's given in the Inspira. But Thread Wear rating must be crazy high: Hardly any degradation. My grouse: At 4000 - 7000 RPM, car still no kick, cant punch out of the corners. But handling is very safe, no sudden changes to oversteer in Turn 6, when on throttle. Even Turn 7 & 8 more understeer than dangerous oversteer. Sumitomo brakes you can buy from my workshop located in USJ Michael 0123811717
I will be swaping to a 17" using Goodyear A2 soon.
I still havent put in the Tien Springs.
But overall car is not bad, last night I was crusing at 210 - 220KMH all the way from Seremban to USJ.
But really feeling that the car is lacking in power. Speedworks kit should be good. Are they willing to sell the kit without tuning as I can tune it via open source. Just lock the boost and I can get the fueling and timing right to run a BOT.
Anyone can ask Speedworks how much they charge for the kit without installation and tuning.

 

[DM3]

james, yeah stock tyres suxx and yes its rating is 360 wear, so its damn good but grip suxx.
now i'm running 18 , so can expect it to be fast as before but handles the corner and high speed very well

 

[audetom]

as per the guy at Speedworks that I visited about 2 weeks ago, the kit is not ready yet...
they need to do some fine tuning to it...
and yes, they sell the kit separately without installation...but maybe will have some warranty issue later...
expect the price range about 7-8k...cos the price for Vios kit is about 8k...
for Inspira it might be more...

and bro, care to share what's the shop name this michael...

 

[jamesweh]

Its called RS, they do mainly performance cars like Subaru etc. They are also maintaining my track car. Yes I have seen the web site from Speedworks: I think the kit sells for about RM4500 without installation. I can tune via Open ECU so I dont need their piggy back, As far as the injectors are concerned, I amy have to buy it. Based on their cost: I would think Speedworks will charge about 10K for a complete kit plus installation.

[jamesweh]

I was at After 12 with Jack looking at his 400 Kit for the Inspira: Price is approximately RM4K with Evo spoiler and side skirts, price includes installation and painting. I will try to upload a picture for you.

 

[DM3]

Guys,

Got any pictures of Inspira on 17 inch rims?

Just want to see the overall whether it makes much difference.

Otherwise, 16s shold be fine.

thanks.

 

[DM3]

zidane,

why 17? if 17 not much visual difference :) ,might as well go straight to 18" . it handles better etc and not that is uncomfortable also

 

[Zidane]

DM3,

scared i might run into holes....

in tterms of price, 17s and 18s are not that far out.....

 

[jamesweh]

Hi Guys, with my mods, I now can comfortably cruze at 210KMH, Had a bit of fun with a White Polo GTI and a Civic FD E. Polo GTI is fast with a top speed of 220+KMH. Civic FD Top is about 200+, so it was great fun having 3 cars running on the Sepang - USJ run with neither having an obvious advantage. But Polo GTI is definitely a faster car with 180PS and a 250+NM of Torque. My gearbox is still giving problems when I change from 5th to 4th. Its definitely a scynchro, problem. I want to see Proton tomorrow but I hate to wait!

I am still on the 16" stock tyres as previously with my 18" rims, as a result of the higher unsprung weight, I had a poorer throttle response.

ya actually with bigger rims must be careful so better go for ori and not replica rims for safety.

James,

all the best in solving the G/box issue, need to push them around to let them work harder :D

Should consider tyre price between 17" and 18" also.

Mine's thinking downgrade to 17" because of tyre price.
