ahnah 0 Report post Posted December 6, 2007 Did any1 of you Mod your engine to gain better FC ?like do grounding, Open Pod, CAI and etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
compassvale 0 Report post Posted December 6, 2007 (edited) not yet leh...actually have quite a few products that claim to save fuel..but then the $ paid for them, and the difference after using the products..may have to wait quite long before the savings substantiate the cost of the product.as for those open pod, CAI, think not really improve FC ba...but rather help the engine *breathe* easier...but then comes at a cost of a *louder* engine ba....still prefer not to make it too loud think will keep it stock for now, only things wanna change are the rims and maybe final drive.still looking out for good deals for Volks CE28 or RE30 Edited December 6, 2007 by compassvale Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
