Hi morning all,

My fc has been very bad since recently for about 2 months+ . Previously it was able to go rm50 for 320km+ . Now it become rm50 200km onli. I check on many thing but still same. :angry_smile:

However, i read some thread similar to my case, and some claim after change the "centre box/midbox" then their fc back to normal.
I just wonder is the midbox really affect fc that much ?

Im pretty confuse also ... is midbox / centre box / bullet is the same thing ???

My exhaust setup is 4-2-1 ... then straight to straight flow muffler ... (if im not mistaken)

Im about to add/change new midbox to my car next weekend, just hoping to get more advice/opinion from all pro here .... :_:

Btw, im driving satria 1.3(m)

Thanks all !!

did u check your tyre pressure? low pressured tyres also make your FC go high.

Other than that, how about your driving style recently? Demanding? Full throttle every outing? :_:

Are u using correct plugs for ur car,Is the denso plugs correct specs if ur using seimens ems maybe need to service throttle body.

im 101% sure im using the correct wan =.=
fyi, satria 1.3 is denso iridium IW16 .... i did google a lot b4 i purchase something ...

the fuel problem started 1 ~2 months already n im still bear with it till now, whereas the spark plug is less than 1 months.
the reason i change to denso is bcos my fc very high, but it still the same after i change.

Norns,

find a bigger midbox/mid bullet, cost around RM250 - RM270. sure ur fc went down. trust me. i think what u mean is "nenas" in ur stright flow piping, not midbox/mid bullet. k go :P

The Goodwood Festival of Speed was the stage for the debut of the Mugen CR-Z that has been hyped all over the interwebs but Mugen also brought along another tuned hybrid to the celebration of all things automotively speedy.

Like all good things, it would appear that tuned Mugen hybrids come in pairs as the tuner unveiled the more and track-focused CR-Z Mugen RR concept. As the more aggressive aero suggest...
