Hey guys
Been searching the internet for days now, and finally found a good forum and valid palio thread!
I'm 19 years of age, currently living in randburg and have owned a 2004 Palio 1.2mpi for over a year now and inevitably looking into modifications more and more....
So far i have self installed a cone filter with tubing to a port in the front of the bumper (Heard cold air is the key to a good filter). Replaced the back box with a new bosal box. Replaced the spark plugs and replaced the front brake discs and pads (ferado ceramic, also been told not a bad buy).
With the use of wynns octane booster the car has a fair amount of performance increase over its stock counterpart... When it was stock i would have to change down gears frequently up hills, and my friend who owns a corsa 1.4 lite sport and could easily beat me....
I don't have exact figures, but now (after these mods) it easily beats a 1.4 and keeps up with the likings of a Vw velociti 1.6i (keep in mind i have also installed sound into the car, which naturally adds weight (a 12" sub and and amp))
I know for certain people find it hard to believe until i have proper performance figures, but just driving around you can distinctly feel the difference.
As for sound, the box and the cone filter combined are fantastic, and not to loud.... But has a distinct drone when idling and obviously when your foot is flat the cone filter really does sound good...
But this is not the reason for my message, i would like to ask for any further advice and tips regarding performance and all the help would be much appreciated! And if anyone has questions or if i can help in any way i will do so gladly (including the installation and prices of sound and the above mentioned modifications)
