The car has been fitted with the following HotBits parts:
- Front stabilizer bar
- 4-2-1 extractor
- Mid-muffler
- Rear muffler
- Chrome rear exhaust tip
- Adjustable shock absorbers
As for structural bars, the alloy stabilizer was meant for the KIA Sephia really serves it's function. This experience was so profound that it led me eventually to heavily invest Ultra Racing parts for better safety and road handling.
As for the complete exhaust system, improvement in acceleration, exhaust personality changes. The stock 1.5" pipe was upgraded to 1.7" and was told the maximum pipe size for an
auto geared car is 1.7".
The purr of the engine now is really deep without being loud. Increasingly harsh engine noise towards 3500rpm attributed from the inhibitive passageway of the out-manifold was not present the moment the extractor was installed obviously the extractor does not suffer the same design shortcomings of the in-manifold and engine noise is not harsh pass 3,500rpm.
As for the suspension, the suspension height was originally reduced by 5cm (fantastic cornering)
but later re-adjusted to 4cm after scraping too many humps. I sacrifice some comfort for traction. The
feel's not that bad below 80kph and reasonable pass 90kph. I limited
height reduction to 4cm because entry/exit rams to parking bays at many
buildings in Malaysia are steep and cause the front spoiler to scrape
the floor.
