What did you do today to increase the performance of your car? Intake mods? new tyres? Maybe a supercharger? Trade it in for a boss 335? New exhaust?
Name car, mod and how it increased performance. |

LV TDCI Focus.
Mods: Took 40kg of tools out of the boot that have been sitting there for a month and pumped up tyres to a little over maximum level. Car takes off a little better and will probably consume a little less. Win Win! |

I cleaned off the burnt rubber from behind the rears and cleaned off my race number from the windscreen so it was more aerodynamic. That made it a bit lighter and smoother, maybe picked up 1kw
