    increase performance...

    without tuning?

    what is there that i could do to get my old babe to pull all 126 horses or however many there is without a tune/remap etc?

    I've heard the C180's wont be able to be adjusted or pull more than what it already has, but i just wished it can just pull the standard amount?

    if you know what i mean :/

    reduce weight. end of story.

    you'd have to remove some pretty drastic things.

    replace front seats with lightweight aftermarkets. look for rims that are the same diameter (or smaller) and weigh less. lightweight tires. remove the spare tire. lighter battery.

    ah thats cool, completely skipped my mind about losing some weight.
    what about air flow? also, would an intercooler just be another luxury, or has this proven useful?
