Honestly, I'm not looking for "serious" power. That would be too much of a financial burden. Unfortunately, the cost of aftermarket modifications in Seoul is exorbitant. For instance, my borla cat-back purchased via a local distributor cost me an equivalent of
$1,300 dollars.

Eibach Pro-Kit? $700.

Evosport Pulley Kit? Try another $700.

The list goes on and on.

Fact is, import car tuning, especially of the German and Italian caliber, is considered a premium hobby here in Korea. Whatever price the tuning shops quote, stands. For instance, a Kleeman Supercharger upgrade will cost me approximately $14,500 here at a reputable tuner here in Seoul. Ridiculous? Absolutely.

So yeah ~ even if I craved for more power, it would literally run the risk of me having to live in the streets lol. So I have lowered my expectations to a degree of power enhancements that will at least temporarily quench my immediate thirst for speed.

Guess the next step will be to take the car out on the drags, official or non-official, just as X'ed has recommended, and see what the baby has got!
