Hi fellow Riosters, I'm new to "modding".. Just curious to find out what are the methods that you have tried and successfully improved your Rio's performance. My ride's a 1.4Auto, and it's quite poor when going uphill and picking up from standstill (or lower gears). Have searched thru this forum and found the below "tools", dunno if you guys have any experience (success/fail) with them? And what the pros and cons of these mods? e.g. does insurance cover u if kena accident? a) E Power System b) Quick Flash (QF) c) Hurricane drop-in air filter BTW, has anyone heard of mygreenoil before? Does the thing work? Sorry for the "long" post.. need to brush up on my car knowledge..

bro...welcome to Rioster family.... the best to know is to REALLY READ thru all the past postings/threads n u will know beta if any mod is workable or successful.... but its still personal feedback from them... u got to try it yourself... if u really wan to know more, pls come to Oct MRT, either on 25 or 26 oct...pls see M.R.T. thread for update. basically, if u just wan to enhance to your pick up, basic cold air intake, aftermarket air filter like hurricane or knn is needed.... good spark plugs... these are the simple ones wic u MOST LIKELY will feel the diff.... A very simple theory... can u run WELL/FAST with your mouth open small small n cover w a cotton face mask, esp on a hot weather??? all i can say, diff cars responsive differently.... even w the same mod... just like petrol. if u REALLY wan to know wic item is good, U HAVE TO TRY IT... no one can really tell u here... thanks for reading..

ermm.. in that case, which should I try first? Most seems to be working based on the "feedback" that I've seen.. Just dunno which is the fail-safe choice (even tho like wat mindbox says, diff cars resp diff).. I just hoping I dun have to do a wild goose chase then end up the "cure" is the last thing that i try.. pocket would have burnt one huge hole liao..

it will be great that you read up on the old threads that we had regarding your enquiry.. but for starters, u might want to try to do a Cold Air Intake CAI for your ride to improve your performance in day time or night time... like wat mindbox bro mentioned earlier... The best is if you can join in meet ups so the bros with the mods can actually explain more in detail regarding wat they had done in their ride and how they feel regarding this. We appreciate your joinin of this forum and welcome you to this family... do join us in our meet up soon and all the BEST!!! Hope to see u soon.

I go down one time got poisoned one time...end up put woofer and amp. Haha Lucky is bought from a bro who is de-kitting at good price. Come on down for poison session by our cool bros here ! Performance wise can try gd spark plug cables, increase throttle Body size , cold air intake, 4-2-1 , then tune it up with a unichip or SAFC Neo. If u want can change to high compression piston, lightweight fly wheel and pulley with a exedy clutch. That would be costly. SAFC is actually not bad i tried it previously. Cool stuff Now i no choice have to use unichip to control addition injector. Just to share and learn !

Hi Bro cklim91, I bought the 'mygreenoil' at carrefour 1 mth back. It was suppose to improve our fc,but to me there was no improvement at all,dunno is my driving pattern change for the worst or 1 bottle wasnt enuff to see the effect. But my fren who also bought a bottle said his fc improve! so in the end i have no idea also. After that till now,i nvr borther to try again.my fc is still at 14km/l,so i think driving pattern is also very important. Just my thoughts to u

:cool:bro villian, 'mygreenoil' depends on driving pattern & oso engine type. Also depends if its a manual or auto. My co-pilot dad driving a Gen-2 manual 1.6, use 'mygreenoil' as well. FC is 12.5km/l. juz sharing.......

All these modding never end.By at the time u spend all these money & time,u will find out that with the money u spend is enough to get u a more powerful car eg 1.6M rio.Save the money for your next car better. During the 90's when coe car rule the road,i m into all these modd also.Mine is a 1.0cc car.Spend 4k+ on modd still lose out to my cousin stock accord 1.6.

actually mod is to at least get your ride more responsive and squeeze a little power when you need it like pick off or slope.. it is also a hobby and a way to interacte with all the bros here.. share info,, posion tips.. hee .. so if financial permitted, why not.. if get a new car. will start to mod again,. ha ha... POsion forever.... Yeah...

POsion forever.... Yeah... Ya loh!Agree what u said. Last time i also think these way.Make the car more driveable. In the end never stop.Just imagine,i brought the car for 12k.Spend 4k+ for modd,that is 33% of the car cost.Save these 33% i can get a better car & heart pain is my cousin brought the 1.6 accord only for 18k.Spacious & more power than my modd small car. One really got to self-control when comes to modds. And now with internet age all the parts still can sell on the net.Last time sell to who?Go to go together with the car when sell.
