SMALLER WHEELS! I put original G60 sebring alloys inplace of my 16" wheels and the boost in power was definatly noticable! even daft resistor mods can make a subtle difference.

 

ive got one of those resistor things but not sure where to fit it any ideas ?it came with no instructions or pictures

 

Nooo, chuck it away dude, all it does is p*ss around with your ecu telling the engine to chuck loads more fuel in.

 

I've heard many nasty things about it knacking the engine. Throw it away mate.

IMO the performance from the standard C headlamps are a disgrace ... so I had some 80/100w bulbs and an uprated loom installed for a number of years. A worthwhile and good improvement ... but the bulbs give off a lot of heat and of course the C headlamps are plastic so that isn't a terrific combination. The bulbs also have a shorter life and so they have to be replaced more often. I went thru various PIAA bulbs as well ... cost me a small fortune and whilst they are nice to look at ... the boggo Halfords cheapo 80/100w bulbs gives better illumination at night!

 

I got my HID's from http://www.autolamps-online.com. There are now zillions of HID sellers and resellers so take your pick. The performance of the HIDs is fantastic ... and a great upgrade just make sure you get a kit that will give you both Hi and Low beam and get the headlamps properly aligned (ie illuminating the road NOT dazzling oncoming cars). I bought some HID's for my Elise from http://www.h-i-d.co.uk since the ballast/ignition boxes are integrated (the Elise has a lot less space for add ons).

 

As for pics I'll need to upload them somewhere first

Crikey, some impressive figures there.

 

 

Hehe, won't ask you how much you've spent!

 

But it's not about the money anyway :wink:
