Embarassed Hi All.... i am totally new here so hope everyone can help...
I have recently just bought a car, Subaru TS Manual, after i put the deposit then i found out that this car is really underpower. Can anyone help by suggesting wat can i do to 'UP' the power by not voiding the warranty Question Is this car really bad I have not choose the colour yet. Any suggestions Heard so much downside of this car and i have really no confidence about this car now Sad ...
Thanks so much.... Rolling Eyes

Dun think too much lah since u already bought tat car.I did test tat car before i get my small ignis.Quite sporty looking.

Regarding Up-ing the power...maybe u can consider the following..
1.change yr exhaust + front pipe.
2.like the rest have said,filter n spark plugs
3.change yr stock pulleys to those lighten 1..
4.upgrade ECU..

yes... underpowered it might be... but dun forget every cars have their strenghts and weakness.
u might not be able to win a civic in the straights, but u can definately beat it in the bends with the AWD Twisted Evil

Hey Guys.... Thanks for all info!
Hee hee, definately dun wan to get caught by TP... But i still wan the power jus in case any1 of u catch mi on the road... Will wan to test out the power after run=in. Will do the necessary upgrade,
BTW, upgrade of ECU chip will void warranty?
Is all these legal?
Hahahaha....

[email protected] SG

honestly... unless your car doesn't more at all when u try to step on the gas, i don't consider it underpowered. sometimes wonder why ppl complain about cars being underpowered, because in the end, i find that these "underpowered" cars are drivable.

Changing your ECU WILL void the warranty.

agnescyj81 SG

Thanks... I guess the car can still move and i suppose its up to individual driver. I got a friend who skill is so good that a 1.3 car he can oso max the power, cos i dun have tat kind of skill so i need a better car to help. hee hee anyway, my dad always say no matter wat, 1.6 is still a 1.6 car, how fast can u go in singapore? Guess should bring him out to explore one of the nights... Very Happy
