Hiya

Hi I'm from Malaysia. Been lurking around for some time. Mostly for driving tips. Done some mods that shaved of 30% of my daily driver. I thought of promoting some ideas. Originally these came from the selfless people at Autospeed.com. Secondary Intakes and Weight Reduction. Been promoting it to the locals here. Seems its only fair I gave something.

You guys may not have the same car as mine but the idea is still applicable to most cars/engines.

Cheers

Cool car, welcome aboard.

Sorry I got confused with the conversion its actually 1200kg. That makes 28xx lbs. Can't show pics right now. I need to post more to get the permission. Been busy with the locals trying to get the idea through to them. Coz Im not selling anything but the idea that a fast-ish car need not be a guzzler.

Oh ok. I've uploaded some pics on the Garage details
