I did a search on trackday cars and it had none but suggested a few cars that might interest me, one of which is a bodykitted 1.0l Yaris with 17" wheels :doh:

I like this bit in the tuning section :shock: :

What are the advantages of having a Turbocharger on my ride?

Other than the previously mentioned power increase Turbochargers have a tendancy to make a nice sound, especially when hooked up with a Dump Valve. A nice big, shiny turbo will also earn you brownie points at crusies and shows too!

You are the weakest link.... goodbye :lol: :lol:

bloody hell jim, i never even thought about bothering to take a look at his site earlier :lol:

im glad i did :shock: i've learned loads :lol:

some snipetts for those who cant be @rsed :lol:

How do exhausts work?

An exhaust works by sucking the leftover mixture or fuel and air out of the engine


here we learn the benefits of upgrading your exhaust :lol:

The Upsides:
There are plenty of upsides to uprating your exhaust system. Most of the time you benefit from a nicer looking, shiny exhaust system especially form the tail of the system. The other bonuses are a nice, louder tone and often and increase in performance depending on your vehicle


here we learn about the advantages of a decent manifold :lol:

What are the advantages?

If you are into your performance then you will want to maximise the performance of your ride. Buying a full system including a manifold and downpipe will help you along the way. The uprated manifolds are normally made of a fairly heat resistant metal which helps the flow of the exhaust gases.


and the disadvantages (silly old me buying a custom made one when it wont do alot for performance apparantly :lol:)

What are the disadvantages?

Don't expect a humongous performance increase for your money when it comes to and uprated manifold and downpipe. They are not one of the cheaper modifications available so be prepared to fork out for one!


turbos, i think this this guys got abit of a thing about stuff being sucked :lol:

How do Turbochargers work then?

Turbochargers or Turbos as they are known for short work by sucking the used exhaust gases out of the engine at the manifold. It then sucks the gases into a turbine which spins it up and throws it back into the engine at an extremeley high pressure causing an even bigger explosion inside the engine. They are usually mounted onto the inlet manifold and have a sealed pipe from the exhaust manifold to pass the gases back through.


to fooking right he's confused :lol:
