[QUOTE="fabianyee, post: 211838, member: 6"] the simple engine mods which I have done: 1) open pod filter (with DIY heat shield) 2) SMT6 piggyback ECU 3) Stainless steel air intake pipe(from the AFM to the Throttle body) 4) lightened flywheel (10kg lightened to 7.6kg) Future mods (wish list) 1) MAF conversion (just need some time to tinker with the MAF since I aledi have the SMT6) 2) Oil cooler 3) Port and Polish 4) 4 throttle conversion [B]non-engine mods [/B]1) Ireland Engineering antiroll bars (Front and rear) 2) Sparco design strut bars (Front and rear) 3) Custom-made pillowball adjustable front camber plates 4) Custom-made pillowball rear topmount 5) Custom-made lower control arm bracket + PU bushes 6) Titan custom front absorbers 7) Merc C-class rear absorbers (stiffer than Bilstein Sports and cheaper) 8) Apex Springs 9) Door sills and B-pillar foaming (done by KL Auto) As u can see from my list, don't need to spend much on the engine to have fun, the strenght of the M42 is not outright speed, it's the agility when you're driving up Bukit Tinggi or Ulu Yam... ;) Btw, maybe we should call for a mini TT with all the M42 kakis.. how many in Klang Valley ah???
