[QUOTE="Izso, post: 1064471165, member: 2429"] I love spoonfeeding questions. Not. :thefinger: Do you know what the 1st service does for the car? Do you know what the warranty covers? Are you planning on voiding it? If not, don't do anything until warranty over. Changing to larger rims means lower profile tyres which means more expensive tyres and less comfort with lower profile tyres. You want comfort stick with stock high profile tyres. You want performance go larger. 205/50/15 Federal RSR. But with performance you lose comfort. If you want both performance and comfort - wait long long. If you do decide to uprate your rims, do yourself a favor and get lightweight rims. Advanti Storm 15" are 4.6kg per rim and they are lighter than your stock rims. Do you know what it does? If not don't change it. Don't listen to hearsay. Lighter crank pulley reduces overall static weight of the pulley, meaning it's easier for the engine to turn the crank (to some extent) but you lose the momentum with the weightloss. Pros and cons. And it does nothing for performance if your car is stock other than make the rpm climb faster without it translating into any sort of performance gains. You bought already lor. Are you going to throw everything away if I told you it's crap? Just install it la. Friend has the firestorm and it improved his FC quite significantly. That VS, nothing will change other than perhaps brighter headlamps. His is nothing more than a cap-bank. Again - go do your research and find out what a top tower strut does before you decide what to do with it. You want to corner harder and faster with a H-torsion beam car, don't expect a tower strut to help much. And your friends are not the best source of information if they say a tower strut will affect comfort. I think you're rich if you can afford to use "temporary" ICE. The HU is the source of your sound. Crappy HU = crappy source sound. Your speakers is what makes the sound so crappy speakers = crappy sound. A cincai mix and match of ICE components will result in cincai resulting sound. On my Myvi I only installed one Rainbow speaker set and installed a underseat subwoofer, stock HU, sounds better than a few other cincai mix setups I've come across that cost way more. Find an installer, pay the installer to make it sound good, but make sure the installer is reliable. My recommendations are Howie Choo from EA Autoworks and Peter from CV Audio. Sigh. What do you know about FC? The car works when oxygen (air) and fuel is ignited in the combustion chamber. When the car detects more air is introduced then more fuel is introduced to compensate. It will adjust based on whether it's lean or rich. So if you add in a high-flow air filter, what do you think will happen to the formula? High air flow (meaning more air) x fuel = good or bad FC?
