17 inch sport rim sure will give u under power in 1.5 engine.

change the rim to 15' , don't try to change your muffler bigger as it's a stock engine...just my point my view...=D

 

[boyzone]

I think 14 inch sport rim is even better. : )

thanks for the info, but very heart pain to trade my 17" with a 15" rim. will changing the extractor to 4-2-1 and changing to straight muffler help? thanks!

Thanks all of u bro, I have change the extractor to 4-2-1 it have a increase in pickup and i have try using higher octane petrol that make alot of diff, guess if i put 15" rim, it definitely will fly!! thanks for all yr info!

thought 4.1 is for pickup .. and 4.2.1 is for speed .. which one correct ??

 

[GT_AUTO]

4-2-1 for low to mid,4-1 for hi-end.

 

[dirtnitro]

4-2-1 for low to mid,4-1 for hi-end.

YEs!!! the difference is there when i change from 4-1 to 4-2-1, pickup increase, but with lighter rim, i think it will perform better

 

[dirtnitro]

yes, this is what has been done to my car so far
