What is the first mod for every new car.
-
i was just wondering.. cause never played with cars before.. been riding all this while.
What is usually the first mod or first thing that u will do to yr car to let it perform better. Not to gain extra horse.. But to let it perform to her maximum. -
If you know your car can't perfom any better, then the best would be to let people think it is actually better than it actually is.
There's this black toyota altis parked in my neighbourhood with 5zigen planted on its front grille(most likely for the rims :lol
. It suspension hasn't even been altered, coz its much too high. The thing I want to laugh at is the tail pipes, its two of them, one on the right and one on the left. Everytime I walk past it, I give a snigger. -
dunno leh.. sometimes i feel it weird... last time when i ride.. first thing i play is with the internal.. then got extra money then do the exterior.. the cosmectic stuff..
but with driving.. everyone talking abt body kit lah.. this lah that lah.. all abt exterior.. nothing abt under the hood.. -
Well, if you can't look under the hood, how do you tell its a good car?

If u really want to mod ur car be it Engine or exterior.Originally posted by hihashi:i was just wondering.. cause never played with cars before.. been riding all this while.

Always start from the base.eg like Rims, tyres, Brakes,suspensions, bushings then exhaust manifold, down pipe etc.
slowly go all the way up
For me. i do engine mods 1st cos everything do one shot can save on labour charges. then slowly exterior. Last thing i do is ICE ( In Car entertainment) cos after bodykit n paint job everything i save the hassle of tuning my ice again. juz my pov -
hmmm... fit a strut bar and change the CAI.. do grounding as first mods.. cheap too and wont void the warranty of the car...

carbon fibre bonnet...

hmm new car u be running in rite... how to full potential... ahahha
anyway...
1. trade in stock tyres for better ones.. be it more silent or more grip.
2. grounding and voltage stablisier (cos tis is one time fix them forget them)
after run-in period
3. CAI
4. denso iridium plugs
got cash
5. ICE ... so when u drive its not so boring. esp u on road a lot of hrs and gals likes it when ur ICE is good ....
6. fog lights when u travel Malaysia a lot.
7. bodykit , rims , etc -

the 1st one i saw was a grey one n i got a shock...Originally posted by ak0:i saw a black vios with tribal grey design ,that also has 2 pipes...for a moment i was jammed.
den last two days ive seen another black vios...
but r their exhaust pipe real or fake??? -
The last radical use of exhaust pipes I saw was in Brisbane. This 180sx had two exhaust pipes. And what so strange about having two exhaust pipes? They are the big momma sized ones, the ones you can stick your limbs in with no effort. The ones they use to launch V5 rockets to the moon.

good exhaust system with a nice sound (not like a fart cannon)
feels nicer to drive -
a sticky label with a peel off back, and 'NAWZ' written with a black marker on the front, stuck to your steering wheel next to the button for your car horn.

most impt maybe the brakes first ?
was looking at some modded cars and the brakes look stock so i was wondering can the brakes handle ? -
I guess... if you don't want to tweak the internals yet... then a good first mod would be the tyres... get nicer rims... the original rims of most cars don't really look nice...
Brakes don't really matter that much, unless you've really increased hp, torque... you'll need to change to better brakes to cope... but for just aesthetic mods... they can still hold...
Then after you change the rims... maybe you can consider lowering the car... so the rims will look better... hee... The side mirrors are also a good starting place... Exhuast would be a good thing to change too... There are some approved ones, like the Supersprint exhausts...
Guess that's all I can think of for starters... Any mods can fit... as long as they're approved of course... hee... -
The best mods for any car reside in your right ankle, at the ends of both your arms, and on either side of the bridge of your nose.

hell yeah. actually, those are only tools of the best mod. the best mod for any car is inside the skull in the head.Originally posted by Gedanken:The best mods for any car reside in your right ankle, at the ends of both your arms, and on either side of the bridge of your nose. -

I'm more of the Ray-Ban type, I rarely go less than 30 over the limit, and my Rolex sits more comfortably on my left wrist than my right (besides, how many people recognise a Sea Dweller?). Agree with you on the cigar - a Partagas Lusitania and a long cruise go well together.Originally posted by houndy:Get an oakley sunglass, wear a rolex watch on your RIGHT hand, wind down your window.

I do admire your taste in watches, though. This bad boy is what the Omega Seamaster wants to be when it grows up:
