[QUOTE="DarkAccoon, post: 1341903, member: 436"] always remember that in car mod, especially for performance, there is a quote which goes "with great power, comes deeper pockets" so there is no such thing as more power and less FC (i notice this is the gimmick that most noob fall for) lets not talk about how many cents per km as the price of petrol always change let's convert it to how many km per litre of petrol currently my wira 1.3 GLi is clocking me about 12 to 15km per litre all i did was maintain the engine in tip top condition service it every 5k with semi syn power wise... straight road is definately kinda terrible but then my car is modded towards the handling side so i have literally "murdered" a few higher end cars than mine is my area which has lots of curves but i did lose to a kancil which taking a corner (take note, the car is a kancil and the driver is most probably a monster to take that corner faster than me) want better FC here is what i did - changed my spare tyre to the type that is the same as honda - change to 13" alloy rims (this one gives significant FC and overall okok handling if u have the proper setup) - lose weight - throw out all ur ICE (my ice is something i could not give up) - get rid of ur gf (this one can easily lose at least 40 kg and above) see, there are lots of things in car mod that is so different from others which is what that makes car mod so unique so, dun just take our words before going for a mod do some research urself (by research i meant using the search buttons and not simply posting questions waiting for it to be answered) 10k is not enough if u are planning to do performance mod trust me in this, once u have transplant the engine, then comes the reliability issue if unlucky, u get crappy engine, mati lorrr 4G13 is a reliable and average potiential engine just get used to it first before increasing its power ya having a wira as a base platform is good, u get to learn lots of things it took me 6 months before i realised the proper way to push the power out of my engine ya [/QUOTE]
