[bla(SPORTIVO)ck!]

Hi everyone, i was just looking at random sites on the net and came across this one..quite interesting. Anyway i decided to register since i have a Sportivo V6. Not too many mods..just a 12inch MTX sledgehammer sub, xenon headlights and red plates. Also got it tinted a bit darker. Anyway i was just wondering what are the cheapest mods i can do to gain around 20kW because i get beaten by all my friend's falcons and commodores :( . Thanks and nice to meet you all.

Welcome to the forums...

Cheap mods wont get you that much power......around an extra 10-12 at the most. (CAI , Exhaust, chipped and lowered (to minimise front wheel spin/lift)).

A sportivo realistally wont beat a modern commodore of falcon....with drivers of equal ability...

Being rear wheel drive and having extra cc's and Hp under the bonet .

Even a high powered front wheel drive camry will be slipping everywhere.....and what stops them from doing the same mods as you.....dont give up effort tho :)

Camrys in general are just more reliable....ie no gearbox / mechanical probs hehe

just my initial thoughts

Hi and welcome

I would go for CAI & K&N airfilter ( cold air induction and a better muffler maybe a sportivo one).

Then I would work on better grip , rear sway bar, 18" tyres and lower springs like sportivo ones or King springs. B)

Rear sway bar 185$

Springs around $500 fitted

CAI around $400 fitted

Muffler $400 fitted

Wheels and tyres- 1000 +++

Thanks for some of the help guys :D. Within the next 2 months i will probably be getting a cat back system and new wheels and tyres. But i am very new to this since this is the first car i will ever be doing any modifications to and was just wondering what does the rear sway bar do and also the CAI and K&N airfilter. What is the difference between K&N and a normal airfilter that you just get at the mechanics. Sorry for all the questions..im just newto this. THANKS!!! :D

[69.NIX]

questions it wot its all about!

K&N is just a brand of high flow air filters

Got pics of your ride? :D

[leasaunce]

change your whole exhaust system and that should give you more hp gain :) and also do a CAI or swap the tranny from Auto To Manual
