Not to mention, a 1.6L trying to turn long gears=you know

They are fun cars though and get a lot of looks.

Smaller pulley gives you a decent gain, nothing huge though. Kind of a PITA to swap. Stock wheels are ******' heavy. Uprated swaybars makes that car very fun and lets it rotate really well. The sound of the supercharger is addicting, too
