Haha .... will do ... only if we have some JET-1 avgas from Nicole sure could make this thread fly.

Btw Waikiki, sounded like you are on the other side of the world. Yea?

 

[nicole_nic]

hey ppl, darn.. my car alignment is cacat already.. F**K the potholes! F**K ALL THE POTHOLES IN MALAYSIA!

 

[eyong]

Don't we all ..... Especially when you are running 45, 40 or hell even 35-series tyres you will feel how bad malaysian roads are.

Better get it fixed, Nicole before it starts wearing your brand new tyres too.

 

[nicole_nic]

just a lil bit.. does it matter? hmmmmmmm...

 

[eyong]

Well, let say if you are driving a straight and on even road, does you steering pull away (either to the left or right)? If it's just a minor tilt on your steering, I guess it's ok. If it's enough to bother you correcting your steering all the time, I would re-align (it's only RM20-25 anyway). Do a speed check as well, like drive thru to maybe 110 or 130km/h, see for vibration, whether you need wheel balancing.

Don't know how BIG of a pot-hole you hit, but sometime large hole may affect the alignment and balance too. Further, you have like (was it 17" wheels now?) bigger wheels, rite.

 

[nicole_nic]

it's tilting more to the left.. darn.. still it's okay but then my steering is tilted.. not nice to see.. haha

 

[eyong]

Have it checked out .... !

I know it could be annoying to look kinda driving sideways, but only going straight.

If it's not pulling, your steering may just need to re-centered. No biggies .... Happens to some of us with modded momo's, or aftermarket steerings.

 

[nicole_nic]

okay! thanks... :) so how else can i add more hp to my car? i know to change engine OR car BUT i got no money :p any suggestions?

 

[eyong]

That depends how much and what you requires. If it's an everyday car for the road, I would recommend you do enormous mods. You have to have a car you can live with in the hot sun, traffic jams etc.

Since it's a Spectra, and auto too rite, maybe simple (cheaper) mods like a ram-pod (air-filter, K&N or other Jap brands), some good spark-plugs (NGK or Denso Iridium is good enuff), and a mild exhaust with straight-thru mufflers, preferably mandrel-bend tubes (though I heard it's hard to find someone that does mandrel bending in MY). It should free-up some hp's. That's the first I would go for, personally. Drive around abit after these before you go for other performance mods.

Btw, how the head-lights of your car? Found anyone to polish it yet?

 

[nicole_nic]

haven't polish yet.. i'm using NGK already and i changed to a S-type muffler.. my friend said it's better on auto cars

 

[eyong]

Well, seemed like you have 3/4 of the mods I would do. I am not too familiar to the S-type muffler ... I think it's normally used for NA, which require some back-pressure at lower rev.

NGK's pretty good plugs ... Abang-adik to Denso's. Well, you may need a good hi-flow air-filter since you have increased your exhaust. Btw, is your exhaust from extractor back or just the muffler? If not, maybe consider a good (mild) extractor and pipe all the way to your muffler. Be sure to ask around whether you should do a 4-2-1, or 4-1 extractor. The latter (if I am not mistaken) gives a higher end. Anything after this would be expensive. Maybe you should then shift focus to the handling (suspension), and braking instead.

 

[eyong]

Well, it's almost time to leave again ...

Catch you fella's later, and Nicole, stop bugging your mechanic for an extractor, hehehehe .....

Cheers.

Sorry, just thought that when I get into work, you'll be leaving for the day. Like your hours is 12 different. That is, unless you are doing the graveyard shift?

 

[nicole_nic]
