transponder is the tracking device that is attached to your car and monitored by the race track. records your speeds, top speed, and other related info... fastest lap, etc.

Is the Supersprint exhaust good for auto?

Cos my friend told me his bro in law was driving same model as mine b4. He used an illegal exhaust. then when he changed back to stock it was faster.

dude... seems like you have lotsa questions and lotsa friends and family that have adviced you on one thing or another...

It would do you good to go for a meet up session mostly friday evenings, when you are available for one of them, which I am sure there will be one Fri that you're able to... You can than question and test and see all you need to. Many questions will be visible and many questions can even be tested. Most questions answered here can only be taken with a pinch of salt. Your feel and want, might differ from the person that is advising you. Little less than asking you to stop asking questions and c'mon down to a friendly meet up;

"I hope all newbies who are reading this take this bit of advise"

Go down and chill with the friendly ES bros and take your time to test, see and ask...

Cheers! 8)

i repeat:

think of this as a big jigsaw puzzle and each mod is only one piece of the jigsaw. it takes the whole combination to make a real difference.

there is no ONE miracle piece that will make your eyes pop with awe at the instant gain for a few hundred bux...

hope this you can digest and understand.



gosh.. this is not getting tru to you is it?

yinsheng wrote:Hi guys,

I'm totally new to modding and just picked it up as a hobby due to the influence of my friends. At the same time its perfect because my dad's warranty just ended on his Civic VTi ES 1.6(A).

Recently upgraded to a Hurricane drop-in filter. (Seems hard to find for ES)

Some questions:
- How do you all differentiate ES1, 5 and 8? How do I know which is mine?
- Is it advicable to change the sparks plug for my model?
- Planning on upgrading to stainless steel braided hose, but not sure where i can get cheap ones? And which do you guys recommend?

Nice to meet you all!
You can try out Jmotowerkz and look for Joker....

Bro,

Just come for our meet up and you will be able to find answers to all the questions that you are asking. It s easier to look at the actual thing than to try to figure out in words. Its very very difficult for us to explain in words what we have. Moreover, different people would want to mod their rides differently, some wanted stability, some wanted speed, some wanted short brake distance, some wanted ICE. You can ask around one shot at the meet up cos all will be there, isnt this arrangement more convenient?

We wont eat you up, you can even test drive our cars to feel how a modded car is like before deciding what to mod for your own.

Our meet up is every first Fri of the month at Kallang Stadium Carpark G. All other Fridays meet ups you will need to check the forum.

I went for my first meet up there with a completely stock car also. There is really nothing to worry about.
