    • Hehe plus new ECU still 380 ah? Who fix for you? Hougang Garage RRRrr ah? Laughing

      Teach you.

      1. Don't mount strut bar. Use raffia string to tie the two joints together. Cheaper. Make sure you tie them tight tight. Mama shop pink colour can already. Pink ones have better torsonial rigidity than the yellow ones.

      2. Don't need air filter. Remove the air filter and wear a stocking over the intake can already. Don't need branded ones, Guardian pharmacy that kind can already.

      3. Carbon fibre hood too ex. Easy to damage. Use Reynolds Wrap. Like that also can get extra style points cause can see everything below. Plus! Reynolds wrap will be lighter than CF hoodie.

      Hope my tips will help, good luck! Razz

    • More tips!

      1. Throw away your stock exhaust. Simple logic. Exhaust need to go where? Go out and away from the car right? And the whole exhaust system made of what? Metal right? Very heavy. So how? Throw the whole thing away. Then cut a few coca-cola cans at the ends and super glue them together to make a pipe. There, new extractor lor! Cool This one connect from your engine, then put it facing sideways. That way can use lesser cans, so save more weight! Clever, hor? Razz

      2. Another secret trick... Your Evo is 4-wheel drive, right? So since all 4 wheels are being driven, if there is a downward-acting force on the roof of your car, the weight should be acting uniformly on all 4 wheels right? So where is the best place to put the GT wing? Wink

      And to answer your last question, "what step to take to bring my car to a higher level??"

      Simple... find a ramp, lor. Got ramp can go higher level what. If cannot find, you can go to Peninsular. They got car lift. Can go very high also.

      Hope this helps, let us know your progress!

      Cheers! Mr. Green

    • want to modify to get 500bhp, very difficult to do using mechanics.
      Tell you what, I burn one paper evo9. Then i ask a mao shan tao shi say some prayers. He can add a fu into your evo also. Easily can reach 1000bhp. I think even niu tou mah mian also have to smell your smoke.

      Niu Tou drives a Lambo (Bull Icon) , Ma Mian drives a Ferrari and Mustang (Horse Icons ). Who say they can't catch an Evo 9 ? Laughing

    • sorry for my ignorance,never knw strut bar n carbon fibre hood could increase horsepower ehehe.aniway like wat u mentioned earlier,changin of turbo,intercooler,exhaust n ecu.im sure u can easily achieve much much more of wat u mentioned.If not most likely is "human" factor n not wit the machine.

    • Hehehe yeah man. The following are some statistics on the effects of the different underglows:

      Red - 15% more torque. 25% more if your car is Italian.
      Blue - 10% more to the rear wheels if RWD, 15% more to the front if FWD. 10Nm more if 4WD.
      Green - 10% more torque. 25% if your car is British and has racing pedigree.
      Pink - 20HP if driver is female, -20% efficiency if driver is male.

      Last but not least, boi86, let me teach you an old racer's secret.. The most powerful underglow........is white. Yes, white. The fluorescent lamps you have in your school canteen. Those add at least 50HP (Philips) and 30Nm of torque.

      Good luck Mr. Green
