1.6L's of pure power. Did you say 'at times'? Must not be the same 1.6L I have, lol. Pictures and details of mods on my site.

Now I wouldn't say my 1.6L is slow, but she is a little underdeveloped right now. All stock for now but that shall change soon as I have some time to put the wrench time in.

o.k. maybe i should've set some paramaters...i'm talking about 3rd gen 1.6ers..

cause there isn't as much aftermarket goodies.for these ...i just wanted to see who on this board has one..so we have a reference..4 ltr..and we can help each other out

btw..ive only done a cheap cat back exhaust..and it put out 75hp at the wheels on the dyno..exterior mods include chrome tints and a "protegetech" banner.

I'm posting pics of my Performance Control module install under another thread. Check it out. The only other mods I've done is exhaust and audio. Let's keep working so we can beat those 2.0's

sorry, don't belong here, but way to go tresdos! promoting our forums is what I'm trying to do too, I just need a few flyers or something, cause I saw some crazy mp3s parked, but didn't have a note to leave them
