  Hi everyone,
  After driving my 1991 manual presea for the past 2 weeks, i have grown to be acustomed to it.
  
  My fuel comsumption is ard 10 km/l. As a newbie driver, I would like to ask about modding my presea to give the best performance, in terms of fuel economy, bhp etc...
  
  Please give me your comments as I am really new and want to make the best of my car.
  
  Thank you

  Come for the next meet up and I will test the car for you and recommend the upgrades to you.... Most upgrading will involve a higher fuel consumption.... are you willing to pay that extra amount??

  how then u find it fuel efficient ?? this car already 10yrs or more liao u cannot expect it to be like new car giving 15km/l. the one i driving give me about 9km/l but becos i drag if not i can get at least 12 or 13max. but in presea forum got pple get 14 or more. u ask SR or the mod there lor.

  I think Niedino wants to lower the Fuel Consumption. I drove a Presea before and I personally think it is already a powerful car! Correct me if I am wrong.

  ya i must agree with u. as for a 10yrs and more age car with 100bhp left is good enough liao just a few tweak u can get back 110bhp or more. but changing of gear must be 4krpm to maintain the power kick. after 3.5k rpm u have like v-tec feeling and sound.

  Hi everyone,
  
  I thot this post was lost in the obscurity of time and after doing my daily reading of sgcars, i found it ressurected again
  
  Thanks for all the suggestions. I have driven my presea for close to 2 months liao. I used to be light-footed (2.5 rpm change gears) but it seems like 2.8 - 3.2 rpm is the best range so currently adjusting. FC is ard 10km/l still and switched to SPC to cut costs
  
  some of the mods im considering are exhuast, filter and maybe CAI, when budget permits.
  
  Din noe bot the gathering so din turn up.
  
  Thanks to all the suggestions bot my ride. Cheers

  change at 3k will do cos almost 80% of power is there unless u realli need speed 4.5k can liao above that is a waste.
  
  do a look out at the SNC or SPC forum lor they always got gathering ask sunnyray1 lor. and pumping SPC is like making your car powerless and higher FC. if u wan go mobil or shell or esso but why SPC. afterall they all also have ron92. btw u staying around where?? becos at bedok towards geylang the mobil got 7% disc hhehe. share share this disc info.
  
  anyone anywhere else got disc more then 6%?? cos i know is
  1. lor chuan the mobil,shell,esso
  2. hougang ave 2 the spc 6%
  3. bukit timah all also got 6 or 5% forget liao there is standard one lah
