Just say you want to read "Facelifting Alloy Wheels" story for example. This is what u normally get: Here (http://autospeed.com/cms/A_2303/article.html)
go to google, search the exact title of the story - "Facelifting alloy wheels".
it will usually be the first one it finds. click on Cached.
And there you go :dancin:

I can guess what they're going to say.. replace the rear muffler!
Or if they're feeling really adventurous, they'll tell you to buy some extractors too :D
Keep in mind that article series is mostly about cheap modifications to older cars to get a bit more poke out of them. I was reading the first installment earlier today and it wasn't much chop.. buy an old holden V8 and, er, change the intake manifold to the Group A version, or upgrade the cams, or bolt old an supercharger.
Nothing we didn't already know, just that it's cheap because there are an arse load of old V8's floating around and plenty of cheap go-fast gear.

im guessing replace rear muffler, extractors, panel/pod and maybes chip it
basically somone on AM wuld have done it before, hell they prolly made up half there article using the information of here :)
I recently subscribed. $80 for 2 years PLUS all the back issues. I dont think any1 with a sniff of petrol in their veins could say no to that. :nuts:
Yes they say the factory system is restrictive especially the muffler. Replace that with extractors, 2 1/2 mandrel + high flow cat (no brainer).
The induction system is already very flowing, little gains can be made with a larger feed into the the airbox.
Biggest gains are in cam shafts as these are very conservative. Ralliart cam shafts can slot right in. Heads can also be modded to get a higher compression. Enginemanagement can be done with a unichip intercepter
Then theres tyres to get that power ot the road, an LSD, ralliart brakes.
And to quote the article "At the end of all this you’re guaranteed easy 14 second quarter mile performance in a svelte and vastly under-rated car. Not bad!"
Now...how much for those ralliart cams..
