I have tons of visual mods which can subtly make my car faster. Carbon Fibre Hood; fibreglass body kit and 18" rims. The previous owner was a track racer and P Plater so he had a Varex Exhaust installed which adds power to the engine (theres a remote where you can open or close the valve. When its open, it gives a loud roar. When its closed, it's like a stock car exhaust)

Its a 5" Cannon so a bit bulky. You can't modify the DOHC, because apparently its classified as modifying the engine to increase performance and he's on his Ps already.

After all, our cars were meant for daily driving, not for 1 mile drag races in the back alley or drifting competitions LOL. My mum's Volvo S40 2.0 SE can easily smoke his 86 in terms of Acceleration and handling. Like, Brandon's 86 is all show but no grunt. Its all visually appealing and all that but its performance is average. My mum's car, however, looks stock from the outside. Stock rims, stock body kit, stock exhaust and stock taillights, headlights. But looks can be deceiving. Once you look under the bonnet you'll see why it can smoke almost every single 'boy racer' car I know.

My mum's Volvo S40 is a turbocharged 2.0 litre straight 4 engine; with minor modifications to the Air filter and had an aftermarket radiator installed. Also, the coolant holder size was decreased so its less bulkier. Suspension was lowered, and guard rolling was done. Keep in mind, my mum's car takes 16" rims so if you don't roll the guards or lower it properly, it'll handle pretty shit.

I think you've seen quite a few modified 2001 Volvo S40s around in your country? Its pretty common, because the Nissan Skyline was banned from importation apparently...
