i agree with lennon. modified car is not giving reliability. big hp means less life span. not only engine. i think for bigger hp car the clutch will run out after a few run.

Before any mod on the renesis, I think should find out the root cause of blowing. Will it be the Apex seal too weak or something else.

I think I'll have to save $$ for NA mod. Maybe can add another 15-25hp and replace the 4.44 FD and then put a baby on board sticker at the rear bonet

Try to lighten the car, throw away the back seats or change to Bride, with your exhaust and RE remap you can get 210hp on wheel..... But better throw your air filter away, when the piping is too long, turbulence will occur and it will choke your engine during high RPM...... It's no joke.....

Now no pipe. Manage to get a used filter box (the box only) with autoexe filter. Air direct in just from the box hole. I don't want to remap 1st because I still not yet decide which way to go. Don't wanna waste extra money. That also the reason why I still not yet change the final drive (that was the 1st thing to change in my plan). Anyway, I may do a dyno when come back. Wanna check if the car have 200hp or not. Cuz felt like just slightly better than my 1.6 Mivec wila since day 1 . If can put 17" rim, I will put that as the 1st choice
