ya....depending on how "much" power u want to add on....and how "legal" u r going to do it.....

Recently, TP ambush Orchard Road Fri/Sat nite racing and caught 33 rides...out of which half are fine for illegal mods.....check last week ST papers.....

Well , i am looking fo legal mod . Generally the authority are getting those with loud exos which are not street legal . i believe they wont catch u for high cam , ecu , lighten fly wheel etc .

bro kenny, CL7R & FD2R are one of the more powerful models under the Honda tree ...

why still wana add more power to it ... 220bhp still not enuff

?

your money can be put into good use like improving its aesthetics - coilover/suspension and braking kits which i personally find is lacking as compared to the FD2R

juz my 2cents worth, happy modding !

bro kenny,

may be u should consider spending $$ on ICE? Much more returns since yr ride alr got enough "power"...an ICE system will compliment yr ride n made the whole issue of driving much more interesting n worthwhile...need an idea, c my ride...cheers!

CL7R I believe can get much more than than the 10HP gain u mentioned... Its not a puny ride that comes stock with 90HP where a 10HP gain is alot...

Yes, I agree. To each his own I guess... Some ppl are hungry for power.

Personally, I'm happy with the power. As for aesthetics, I dun have the heart to put thousands over bucks of bodykit on it, knowing that it is subjected to FOD abuse.

One thing most ppl would do to this car is to lower it cos the stock sus is really high. My fist can almost go in between the tyre and fender.

you're juz like me ... dun like to spend on bodykits...

but you can include the front v-lip, sideskirts & rear diffuser to complete its "fast & furious" looks

changing to a lowering spring might help but another problem will surface

=> if you're ferrying more than 4 pax, the car chasis will surely kenna all the humps & slopes ... even with spring stiffener it will not work

hence getting a set of adjustable coilover will resolve your headached ... BC coilover seems to be quite a hot favourite for an aspirated street driving
