Absolutely incredible.
I also think my gas mileage is up since I got them so quickly.
Any suggestions on how to improve power and torque? Is it merely an issue of sticker placement or do I need another acessory?
Thanks all |

I've found that putting a GT or Type S sticker on my cars works great for power and torgue. It has to work, I saw a Hyundia this morning with a Type S sticker after the Sonata sticker, and it was a very fast car. It could almost out accelerate me in my D1. But that must be a special edition, because I don't remember Hydundia making a Type S. |

Power and torque can only be improved by painting key engine components yellow or red.

Ooooo, white letters is good. Hadn't thought of that. They'll work well with the 20" chromed rims I've got coming.
Zak, did you notice whether the Hyundai had any chinese inscriptions on it? I think those are where the true power lies. Something about focusing the "chi" through the coffee can tailpipe.
Like they say God is in the acessories. |

Don't forget carbon fiber trim and a wing on the back! Gotta keep the rear end down at those blazing speeds |

I'm thinking that a good ground effects package would help out the ol series top end speed ! |

How do we feel about neon lighting?
Also, I've been thinking of relocating the tachometer and other guages to the A-pillar. Can anyone point me to a source. I'm thinking they're not made in Britain. |

Funny side note, I was talking to my neighbor a few weeks ago, he had this enormous F1 type wing on the back of his Miata. I made fun of him after he put it on in the beginning of summer. When I talked to him I noticed the wing was off his car and asked him how he keeps the rear end down at 200 mph. He told me that Utah highway patrol made him take it off. Something about the ridge nature of the aluminum wing and height was a safty violation. To make it even better he said he wasn't the only one told to take off the wing, other friends of his had to also remove them. I laughed even harder at him for this. I guess now they are all just furious... |

No, didn't see any chinese writing on it. How about a huge LAND ROVER sticker across the front, and a huge land rover symbol sticker on the back glass!!!
Or a sticker of that guy peeing on a jeep, or maybe a Fear This sticker!! |

I received my first batch last week and just installed my "Powered by Land Rover" stickers. In fact, I'm making them available to discoweb visitors at cost + 10%, or $13 rear, $10 side window.
first pics of this gotta have accessory.
Send an email to socalrover-at-yahoo-dot-com and I'll have them out to you the same day.
I wouldn't want anyone confused as to what powers a Land Rover Discovery!

Don't you mean "Powered by Buick"? |

hehehe, you know that, I know that, but the general public thinks we're powered by Jeep. So here's my chance to make a difference for the better understanding of Land Rovers.

Javier,
i don't think a combined value of my two jeeps and two rovers makes a fifth of this amount
i was going to add some boost to my jeeps by putting the DW stickers on them, but can't remember if there were any warnings against it in the DW stickers' manual.
