[QUOTE="Mitevo7, post: 1064732695, member: 59849"] Hi Liang95, Honestly speaking, Vios by stock itself is quite lively, it can keep up to some bigger CC car due to its light weight body. It was never made for highway speed monster. Like most ZTH citizens here recommended, try to make the car handles better and more stable than stock. What you can do: Handling Part 1.) Stickier tyres 2.) Lighter rims, more responsive steering wheel, however you might feel lightness in your steering wheel on highway speed 3.) Uprated struts and springs, if not, BC Racing V1 or BR Type if you have budget 4.) Install necessary chassis bars, research this properly, you don't want to waste money on those bars you do not need, car needs certain roll to be able to change direction 5.) Chassis foam, for better sound proofing and sturdier chassis. Ever wonder why Euro cars are so solid and quiet ? Sturdier chassis and undercarriage is one of those keys. It also adds comfort to reduce NVH. You feel you can drive the car for as long as it could. 6.) Harder engine mount, reduce engine flex and get the car going off the line faster. May cause discomfort as you feel more engine vibrations 7.) Better brakes ! Seriously a lot of people thought the factory brakes system is enough, it is NOT ! At least uprate the disc rotor, brake pad, brake hose and DOT4 brake fluid. Engine Part 8.) Uprated intake system, only helps the car to breath easier but won't gives you 10+ hp like some ads claimed. Especially on a 1.5L N/A engine 9.) Free flowing exhaust, this one depends, but for me, just decat one of it will do. You won't want noisy exhaust in your DD. 10.) E-throttle controller, this can dramatically change the pedal responsiveness but will not add HP 11.) Better spark plugs and ignition system, most likely the most obvious power gains for any N/A cars, if you have access to TM Works ignition package, this will be the most obvious power gains you ever invested, however, ITS NOT AFFORDABLE ! 12.) Larger TB with larger intake pipe. Adds throttle responsiveness and gain power at mid to high RPM. Not usable if you don't rev the crap out of the engine to get its full benefits. 13.) Aftermarket VVTI Valve, enable VVTI opening at lower RPM (Not VTEC like but under normal driving you feel the engine is lighter) 14.) ECU remap, another obvious power gains but need to find someone that really knows how to tune. What i suggest, the handling part for now is the best thing you can do, as one once said, power is useless without control. It's 1.5L N/A engine [/QUOTE]
