Well, my rio is installed with corona charger, fuel booster & ultrasonic air charger. nothing fantastic on the outside except for the 16" rim. I have also installed maxzone GT & KNN air filter. I have tried my pick up with civic 2.0, lancer 2.0, sportage, wish, mazda 3 & stream. Pick up so far win all of them. The dealer told me when I installed that I can close 1 eye to beat of any 2 litre cars, but tried with volkswagen GT & mini, it's either abt the same or they're slightly ahead of me. It seems if I do full installation which will cost me abt S$3000+ can challenge wrx. Don't know whether true a not but didn't proceed as it's too costly & secondly how much can you push & 1.5l SOHC engine. Wait my whole engine drop off!!! Brakes also must be good, very important. Normally if I drive fast or seeking for adventure to race, I normally drop gear from 5th to 2nd while braking when there's a need to. Ahh!! already changed my clutch, brakes, master pump & timing belt in ipoh when I went during the DEC holidays. But now I'm changing to cerato & am wondering whether to transfer or leave it, b'cos my cerato will be auto as my wife just passed her auto license. I still prefer manual but wife come 1st lah. And also after seeing the engine compartment, it looks so neat no heart to mess it up. Corona charger? Is it the super charger like those in the 4AGZE engine? hey, u oso fr Ipoh ar? ;D Ur ride with 16" still can outdrag so many rides, cant really imagine if on 15" if the civic type R can see ur tail light bo?

I just searched through the Mycarforum for information regards to this e power system. apparently, there was quite a saga going on... i really do hope this e power thingy is true. www.mycarforum.com/forum/Aftermarket_C5/Performance_F6/E_power_System_P1779623/I am a noob in car modifications. If the product is good, i would definitely love to try it out.. currently, i am having reservations about this corona air charger thingy, and the ultrasonic thingy.... I am glad a cerato can perform so much better than 2.0l other makes ...

Hi Guys, I'm not from ipoh but went there to visit my aunt at the same time change my clutch & other parts as mentioned earlier. Over here it costs S$900+. In ipoh 985 ringgit!! It's abt 400+ sing, very cheap & they used geniune parts. Workshop is a good friend of my unc who sents his car there for svc. My SE took photos of my car including my 16" rims, don't know whether to take the risk of changing to other alloy rims, maybe 14" fit it to my rio & keep my 16" for my new Cerato. Need advise from you guys, will it be possible? Thx in advance

I tink if any V2 owner here hardcore enuff to strip the V2's interior and make it lightweight improving power to weight ratio, it will give a very good fight....

even if u do up ur engine to the max to improve ur low end & mid range, a simple mod on the swift will leave u cursing & swearing... but we have the better edge when cruising above 140km/h tho, stability at those high speeds is something we can be proud of. swift sports cant also handle the engine stress on their top end..
