hi guys...new owner of the st170 so basics to start with.
cars as standard as far as i know..wot ways are there to gain any performance increase or sportier sound without delving deeply in the pocket? (just yet anyway,buying the cars broke me..lol)
i know i can change exhaust ect...but in time i think...anything cheap and chearfull to start with?
took off the resonator box from next to the airbox to gain a slight sound difference..its ok to use the car like this isnt it? cheers all

 

drill holes in the airbox, then its all safe and just sounds better

keeping all excess weight out of the car will of course make it faster in all aspects
(space saver wheel instead of a full alloy for example)

and maybe a little bit of heat defence as ive heard focus' suffer from heat soak!?

maybe you could make up a pipe for the exhaust that will get rid of one of the silencers, then it wont be too load and wont be too expensive!?

another mod i thought of, not quite sure if this would work or not but, the drivers side mat and carpet, either taking them out or trimming them a little bit so the throttle can be pressed further, again not sure on that but ive been wondering if it would work for a while

 

thought about drillin the airbox,,i presume u drill it on the underside,not the top...am i rite or rong? know where i can get a cheap second hand one incase i mess it up or dont like it?

 

breakers?

and the side BEFORE it is filtered, not sure which that is but...

the sound is a quiter than an induction kit, but a definate 'roar' should be heard

 

cheers dude...ill give the drilling a go before anything else.....after all.....its free....lol

 

frees the best
