@Itz bubz Look at my comment

Interior strip, light weight racing seats, and a roll cage are the way forward if you want instant noticeable gains in acceleration and handling. I've not gone the whole 9 yards yet, however, many moons ago I did have a Corsa mk2 1.2i 16v 3 door gutless piece of shit which was totally transformed by removing all the carpet, roof lining, insulation, rear seats, and any unnecessary plastics. All that was left was the dash, front seats, and door panels. I then upgraded the front discs, pads upgraded all round, and put on 17inch rims. I think the tire size was 195/45/17 which were wider and lower profile than standard. What a different it made! First thing I notice was the grip. Because I was use to the handling characteristics of the standard set up I'd find myself turning in too early on corners expecting the car to slide. Scandinavian flick became unnecessary on way tighter corners than before hand. Handling, acceleration, and braking was also significantly improved by the wheel's and weight loss. In a straight line I was obviously getting left for dead by larger engine capacity cars, but on the twisty, bendy UK A and B roads it came to life. It was like driving a Go-kart! Many a 3 series BMW had been left for dead in my rear view on country lanes.

​@@MrRea112 car manufacturers probably do know more than someone whos designing an aftermarket part, issue is higher ups tell them to make cars with lower costs, greater wider appeal and greater ease of production and thus are compromised in one aspect or another (in 99.9% of cases). its crazy how people like OP think just because manufacturers throw millions at R&D means youre getting the best performing product possible with no room for improvement

@@RogueCowTurd True. Doesn’t that cynicism make it even more outrageous? The customer is treated like mindless fodder to be fed the cheapest muck at the highest price. There was a time when companies like Mercedes possibly Toyota genuinely believed the customer deserved quality, reliability served with integrity

​@@MrRea112 in some cases yeah for sure, minimum viable product is definitely a thing but at the same time regular car brands cant be going out and putting the best performance parts they can design on their production sports cars. for example toyota/bmw cant slap the best flowing titanium exhausts on the supra because any excess cost needs to be passed onto the customer which can make the car uncompetitive financially, they also have to deal with many countries laws so a loud exhaust with no cats will stop it from being able to be sold in some parts of the world and even if we ignore that, the general person who just wants a sporty car doesnt want endless drone at highway speeds and their rear bumper covered in soot all the time. these are the types of things a manufacturer needs to factor in when spending millions on R&D. the aftermarket however does not. the people who buy exhaust kits dont mind that theyre going to be louder or more expensive to produce (to an extent), brands dont need to worry about laws since they advertise everything as "not for street use".

@@viku4 well they can, but they are not allowed to. greed governed planned obsolesence

well, said "engineers" have fucked up their fair share as well (recalls anyone???) I applaud anyone who "garage/front yard built" an amazing machine that works.

I see your point. And it's true there are kids out there who only want to be seen (and heard). Big shiny rims that cost more then the rest of the car. A loud "sporty" cat-back exhaust that does nothing but making noise. Cars lowered to a point that they need to step out of the car and push it over a bump. But there are also drivers who want their engine run more efficient. To have better handling. And there are professionals, engineers with master degrees, working for companies who have also spent fortunes on design and engineering to deliver just that. Some premium car brands even have "in house" tuners or at least approved tuners because they know those tuners have the know-how to safely increase performance. And there a lot of reasons car manufacturers don't do it straight away. Cost savings are a big one but also because the opposite of what you say. "so that this machine works perfectly under its specified conditions." They don't want it to run perfectly under specified conditions; they want it to run under ALL conditions. From the sahara to siberia. Or from the salt lake plains to high up northern Canada. With regulated high quality fuel but also with some mixture some guy sells in buckets on the side of an African road. Grandma is allowed to torture the clutch and some clueless guy can press the pedal to the metal with a cold engine. It's a whole different story if you can narrow down the parameters. If you know you will always take quality high octane fuel and you live in a region where it rarely gets over 35° or under minus 15°, you don't need that big safety margin.

most these mods increase your car's .. unreliability

I was thinking the same thing. Depending on application you’re going to want hotter or colder plugs. As an example a boosted car will benefit from cooler plugs because of the increase of intake temperature you’ll have a much more safe burn where if you had hotter plugs you risk predetonation

As mentioned plugs depend on application. In a boosted car It’s a good idea to use 98 Ron or higher. For the same reasons, reduced chance of detonation, melted pistons etc. I don’t use anything but 98 Ron in my G40, the supplementary manual recommended 95 RON. What was the standard fuel grade in 1990? It also suffers the cost of platinum Bosch W5DP0 plugs which were specified with the Bosch digifant engine management. These were OEM on Porsche 911 turbo’s and Ferrari’s of similar era, hence the cost of £20 per plug! Associated rich-boy tax slapped on there by Bosch.

@@MikeBarbarossa if it is tuned properly with supporting mods and taken care of i think youll find FBO cars have pretty good reliability, anyway stock is boring

You are so right sir. Iridium or Platinum is mainly used for petrol cars. For LPG cars you need sparks with a higher heat degree so in most cases they use sparks with nickel plated copper elektrodes. So it depends on the type of fuel witch sparks you need. There is also a difference in quality. The higher quality sparks last longer and perform better. In the near future sparks will be operated at very high frequenties witch improves the spark and live span even if they are operated at very low temperatures.

Why is breaking someone's dreams loving over? YOU MONSTER!

Bruh

Yes, its the best primary upgrade tho it can be quite expensive for certain cars

You could also purchase the tuning software and do it yourself. It's cheaper, but takes more research. It's not dangerous, provided you don't crank the boost up on your 1.2 turbo corsa all the way up to 60 psi thinking it's a GTR 😂. But it does offset that cheapness with time invested into learning and doing it properly. So it's what do you value most. Money or time.

@@annahenrietta9517 that only will work for someone with good technical knowledge.

@@gottliebdee263 It's very different

Then: You see...

That's true for any modern petrol car. It's a relatively cheap thing to do (simple sensor, the rest is software) and there a more benefits than just supporting different fuels. It allows the engine to run with smaller margins and also helps for other things which affect when knock might occur such as temperature, increasing average efficiency.

Even my non-turboed S2000 does that. It'll run happily on 95 RON, but is noticeably more responsive on 99.

BMW had that in every (non-Diesel) car in the mid-1990s (maybe earlier). The car's rated power and fuel consumption was for 95 octane. With 98 octane, performance would go up and fuel consumption would go down (but not enough to save you money as the 98 octane fuel is a bit more expensive). In the 1990s, there was also still 91 octane fuel. The BMWs could run on that, too, with less performance and a higher fuel consumption. 91 octane fuel is cheaper (but not enough to save you money as the fuel consumption goes up). 95 octane fuel would give you the best "mileage per dollar". Nowadays, you can get 102 octane fuel. For absolutely ridiculous prices. However, most cars will only recognize octane numbers up to 98, so 102 octane does not give and improved performance or fuel consumption over 98 octane.

No, it doesn't. It's placebo at best, unless you had it tuned as well (see 13:00).

Replacing the back box or adding a 'sports exhaust'😂 is a quick way to reduce your car's power output - it detunes the gas flow which ultimately upsets combustion.

But that actually does increase performance, as does more exhaust pipes, eg: s3 has 4 so the co2 and other stuff can escape easier, that’s the basic explanation.
