Well, as my car still is in Upgrade stage, and i dont want to show it off totaly, i though i will put some teaser shots of what stuff is going into it
First of my new upgrades was JUN Flywheel - for comparison - stock Beams engine flywheel weights around 8.6kg - JUN one weight 4.2kg - so you can imagine what the performance effect will be Heres how it looks standing next to the stock one: Next thing was to replace my damn exhaust (i had Forza rear muffler on the stock over the axle pipe...), it was so damn loud and i hated it cuz it was imposible to cruize at 60mph, either i had to rev to 4k rpm to make the sound lighter or i had to go slower... So finally i had a chance to get one of my dream exhaust systems Kakimoto Racing: It came from Toyota Altezza SXE10 with black top beams, so the piping was a bit different - but after some custom work it fitted like a glove Now the car feels way wayyy much better and sounds so quite that on idle its even hard to tell that i have almost straight exhaust But then you rev it - its another story - now it more compared to the SpeedBike - not the car No low deep growling sound - just pure reving sound I will get the sound clips a bit later, once im done with the flywheel install For now - thats it - more updates will be posted in exterior forums -------------------- Ex celica owner - just a guy from other side of the pond...

Martin - if you would be wearing 10kg Boots - and you had to run 100meters - your time would be bad, right? Now imagine what time would be if you where wearing 4kg sneakers? It would be better?
Lightned flywheel reduces moving masses - this means better response to trottle, faster reving, easyer for engine to rev. -------------------- Ex celica owner - just a guy from other side of the pond...

Thank's Romas, perfect explanation... however... is that worth (I don't know) about 550USD investment? So for how much is worth buying lighter flywheel? -------------------- No more replicas... This is evolution... This is SS-four :)
