i live in portugal it is not easy to find dealers with those kind of stuff. oh and was it hard to install? oh and yes i drive a 156, but that piggyback solution says it is universal how does it adapts to our rczs? also you feel a lot of difference?

thanks in advance

Sorry my mechanic does the work, I just enjoy the ride... And of course there is a great difference. Wonder if there are Brembo brakes for our cars... I always believe when a car gets more power, so must the brakes , that's what bhp means right...

Well will eventually dyno itbut not now, I still got a few things to do... One of them namely open Pod intake, but power increase is just to enjoy that hidden power within, meanwhile to alter the external more.

Obicat is the one who is really enjoy the power since day one... must be fun playing with 6 gears.. learnt that Porsche has just launched the 991 that has the first manual 7 gears !

Took me ages to get used to 6 gears. I kept forgetting about the extra one :lol:

I've got used to it now though :thumbup:

RCZ1@ I can understand , the car is so quick , that probably when you are at 3rd gear you would have driven up to the rear of another car. I really wud like to have the manual instead, but the traffic congestion is frustrating here ... Grrr.. Fortunately , driving a RCZ is so nice that I treat the extra time in the car stuck in jams as a chance to interact more. Incidentally I call my RCZ "STORM" .

That's very true. Often I never get out of 3rd gear going to work in a morning due to traffic. I would like the automatic version (petrol heads will be cringing at reading this :D ). Trouble was I didn't want to wait any longer than necessary to get my hands on a RCZ as they weren't released here until a few months after initial launch. Maybe my next one will be an automatic :eusa-think: I like the idea that you can use it as fully automatic or slip it into Sport mode and have some fun :D

Storm is a good name :thumbup:

hahaha Manual transmission helps me keep awake in the morning when I drive to work (I'm not a morning person).. And no fun above 4000rpm yet, as I havn't fully run in the car. heh..

@KCRCZ how many km do you have on your car? I love how you pile on the mods from day one.. haha..

Obicat@ I have already done 3,500 km. I travel a lot so mileage is clicking away... At most if its really worn out, I will change to hardened pistons with upgraded turbo kit haha. But for now some styling, sending in for some styling on Monday.

@KCRCZ, hey after the tuning and exhaust, do you feel a strong pull when you WOT the car ? I dont really experience the "pushed back into your seat" feeling when I WOT :(

What kind of styling are you doing ?

Yo Bloodlegna, certainly feel a good push back , sometimes I even feel Slightly giddy, I m quite a wimp when driving fast but can't resist blasting out short bursts now and then.. I m customizing some datailings, nothing too fanciful ... Opening some air vents etc... Should receive the draft from my designer tomorrow... Once done I will post up the pics ... The RCZ has such beautiful lines to do any makeover really. No offence to fellow owners, Styling is my own preference , otherwise the RCZ is nice as it is.

Joaofisio@ ya tuning and improving a car is really fun. You start at least with the filter, add on gradually and enjoy everytime it gets better.

As for suspension, my designer felt the car is low enough, and not advisable for Singapore roads and carparks, so I pass on for the lower spring. While for coilovers, I m seriously enjoying the smooth and slightly bumpy ride. Can't imagine it being harder to compromise rides comfort. We have a Daihatsu Copen Limited edition at home with bilstein shocks and the ride can be quite harsh , especially for the passenger. And the Copen is not even lowered otherwise an even harsher ride. Anyone got experience with wheel spacers?
