[QUOTE="Izso, post: 1064463943, member: 2429"] A couple of things I want to say : 1. 500km is still below full run-in mileage. Run in is supposedly 1000km. So rev the shit out of your car now to loosen up those piston rings. Take the opportunity to high rev it at every toll, every traffic light and every stop-start. Don't worry about breaking anything and hit that 1000km fast. 2. If after run-in your car still feels sluggish, one of the first things you should change that won't affect warranty (most likely) is your rims. Stock 195/50/16 or something like that rims are bloody heavy. Really really heavy. Get lightweight rims like the Advanti Storm series rims which weight only 4.7kg or something thereabouts. Or if you can afford original Japan rims get the Enkei RPF1 which are even lighter than the Advantis. That will make acceleration a huge difference already. 3. Lose weight. Remove unnecessary weight from the car like heavy ass subwoofers, junk from your last bbq/camping trip, etc. Weight is your enemy. Lastly, get to know your car first. Its characteristics at the limit, how much punishment the tyres can take, how much bodyroll is too much body roll, etc. Once you understand the car, start modding bit by bit and you'll start to understand what each thing does. A simple change of lightweight rims first will do wonders. Then followed by ultrahigh performance tyres like the Federal RSR tyres or Yokohama AD08. Then chassis strengthening bars. When you really can pull out the full potential of your stock car then only start fiddling with the engine and exhaust. Because if I were to give you a completely modded tricked out City with everything, you probably wouldn't know how to drive it properly or make full use of its potential. [/QUOTE]
