ok, i had to replace the daily driver which was totaled a few weeks ago in a hit/run. i got another scion Xa for reliability and low cost of overall use. however, i would like a bit more punch and with spec's like those below, (1.5l 4 cyl 16v dohc), there would be something i could do to spice up the car's performance. normally, first thing i would think about is brakes but starting at 103hp and trying for maybe 10 - 20hp+ i think the stock brakes would be ok. while the suspension can use some enhancement, the f/r sway bars also seem adequate for now. so, what does that leave? intake? exhaust? boost seems out of the question with 10,5:1 compression, (it seems weird that i dont need high test with 10.5?!?!).
so what do you guys think i should be looking at for the scion while the miata is being fixed? tia, peter ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Engine 4-Cyl. 1.5 Liter Horsepower 103 @ 6000 RPM Torque 101 @ 4200 RPM Gas Mileage 32 mpg City / 37 mpg Hwy Bore x Stroke 2.95 x 3.33 Compression Ratio 10.5 Fuel Type Gas Fuel Induction Electronic Fuel Induction Valve Train Double Overhead Cam Valves Per Cylinder 4 Total Number Valves 16 Transmission 5 Speed Manual -- Medio tutissmus ibis You will go most safely by the middle course
