What I've done is basically "optimize" it...making the motor run as efficiently as possible and pushing out as much power as a 3l V6 should.Let's look at what I've done. Would be good to list since I've not really thought about it myself...Motor1. Skimmed heads since I overheated it and had to overhaul it 3 years ago. Consequently, it's running a bit more compression than stock, which is probably why it packs a bit more power than stock... <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1425" alt=":smile:" title="Smile    :smile:" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":smile:" />2. Ignition spark stabilizer - local unit but does the job.3. Pivot Reizin voltage stabilizer - not noticed any extra power buy my sound system sounds good... <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1425" alt=":smile:" title="Smile    :smile:" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":smile:" />4. Fuel pressure regulator - pressure set at 4.4 bars...throttle feels very light.5. K & N insert type filter.6. Connection from shorkel to resonator disconnected and blocked - engine sounds a little more butch. No discernible gains in power. Still experimenting with this one. May build a CAI.7. Primary cat removed and replaced with bullet. Definitely gains in power. Y-Pipe would be better. Have to think about the B-Pipe. Imported S/S muffler...can't remember brand.8. Modified twin-walled copper radiator. I used to drive turbocharged cars and have blown more radiators than I'd care to remember. Tends to make me a little paranoid... <img src="https://zerotohundred.com/forums/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/laugh.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":laugh:" title="Laugh    :laugh:" data-shortname=":laugh:" />9. Oil catch can and earthing kit waiting to go in once I complete my valve job.10. SAFC to go in after all of the above and retuning to get to approx. 240 bhp.Chasis and Suspension1. Hotbits adjustable suspension - street spec'ed. Car lowered approx 1.5" with an approx 3 degree slant forwards. Changes the centre of gravity of the car and you will be amazed at the difference in handling characteristics.2. Camber bolts in front wheels - 0.5 degree negative camber.3. VRS pillar strut bars in front. Hotbits rear pillar bar on order.4. 1.5" race spacers in rear. They're about 1/4" too wide, but I don't have the time to machine them down. Fender lip knocked in, accidental marginal flare.Exterior1. JDM front bumper cos I broke my original one.2. JDM body kit. Gives it a more complete look.3. PIAA rims. 7" thick. Can't remember offset.4. Front crystal light set.Interior1. Leather interior compliments of my friend in Sg who scrapped a feilo about 2 years ago and swopped over the interior before he did.2. Full wood-grain centre console. Original was only half wood grain.3. Supplemented audio system with 4-Channel Blaupunck amp, 2 pairs of 2-way speakers and Blaupunck sub-woofer.Future mods1. High flow fuel pump - currently researching and will get a trial unit from a chop-shop.2. SAFC - definitely required if you upgrade fuel pump and AFR.3. Maybe some more JDM dress-up parts and probably a spoiler of some kind.4. Debadging and putting on an Infinity emblem...just for the fun of it.Looking for...1. Wing mirrow "shells". You can buy them overseas but I have never seen them here except on 0123's feilo.....and that's what I can think of for now... <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1425" alt=":smile:" title="Smile    :smile:" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":smile:" /></blockquote>
