  1. prob wont have poke anytime soon but hopefully have it lowered in a couple of months prob after the first track day then ill get it done and go back again see how much it improves :)

    nah they are enkei rpf1s on the swift in 16" :) loved that car so much

    Just for safety, please upgrade your brake pad first before going to your first track day, the factory pad is pretty ****ty, I use Remsa, you can order from GSL rallsport in queensland..

    Change your tyres as well to a better one would be better

    Sorry for the delete, not paying attention to the post

  3. The car has been blowing blue smoke for awhile and its getting worse which is worrying me, as of what it could be, valve seals or piston rings, deciding what to do with it after track day. Hoping that its the seals, but we'll just have to wait and see.

    Not looking good, and bug bucks to fix

    Good luck for winton, I miss this one

  4. octane booster give you no performance increase (dyno proven on a FTO I read a long time ago) if your engine does not support it, putting 98 in our car which is designed for 91 is usless, except for cleaning the engine. My car has been tuned to use 98, but guess how many kw I gain, 3kw at peak

    Unless your engine is desiged for checking the octane level (such as the golf gti), no performance increase at all, the following 2 videos say it.. actually

    using octane booster will drop power by 2%

    before reset the ecu, make sure you know your audio security code, disconnect the battery for 20 minutes, reset the audio security code

    I don't know why your exhaust will take away any torque, no torque should be lost across the whole rpm range

    Read the following, it includes torque graph as well

    http://www.importtun...10_mazda_3_atx/

    Our car should yield similar result, if you are losing torque, there might be leaking in your exhaust

  5. use this http://www.torquesta...?pid=calculator

    exhaust will have only 4kw increase at the wheel

    If you want to be faster, use a light wheel, 16 or 17.. wheel does make

    Take off all your seat, and use 1/4 of fuel, they should make another 0.1 or 0.2

    Shifting from 2nd to 3rd lost so much time, keep practising it

    For the exhaust , another memeber has done a dyno before and after a cat back (dutchie101), no evidence to prove that the torque has been lost

  6. I like it, very clean, there are some rust in the engine bay.. if u don't mind you polish you engine to look good. Pod filter is dirty as well, please clean it.

    Please also chrome the bumper to make it shinny, I also would want to put back some badge at the back

    I like classic car to have chrome everywhere

  7. it is by law in nsw that when you have a mortgage (house or car) to have comparison rate listed. Bank like to charge fees to deceive people. Comparsion rate is the real interest rate including all the fees
