Is all that sound just making it heavy?
Also those 17" rims won´t help much!

change your uber huge 17 inch alloys for some 15's or standards, rip out the huge sound system and your rear seats and then feel the free power  also get a full supersprint system! and an enclosed induction kit as an open filter will be sucking on hot air and will be doing f**k all for performance!

Thanks guys i will try ditching the 17`s and go back to vtr standards or some lenso 15`s. the sound system aint much to it really in terms of weight wise tweeters door speakers 4 6x9s 2 1000w amps 1 farahad power cap 12" sub. the open filter is in the corner near my washer fluid with a 72mm cold air feed to it will it make much difference to an enclosed

it sat in the garage at the min like i honestly dont have a clue on how it would be affective to get enough air into the engine as the slam pannel right in the way and there no holes or anything for air to pass into the enclosure.

that the set up i purchased enclosure and green off www.kam-racing.co.uk i had a go at locating it and it wouldnt sit straight when it was straight the front was blocked by the slam pannel so i took the plastics off and go some chrome pipe and fed the green filter to the front .
