Do you mod your ride?
-
Bros, just need to know how many of you don't mod your ride? Because I don't. I don't even have K&N filter installed. My stock horn is still the 'peeeet' sound. Just want to see if it is common in sg.
-
I modified my driver. Wanna see? Here u go...
-
I dun mod my ride.
Its 659CC DOHC 20 valve Intercooler Turbo mini SUV.
Never thought of modding to make it perform like some 1000 or 1300CC
If its not, its not.
The moment you make it look like something clearly its not, ppl look down on you more. -

and the nouveau (not very) rich Ah Bengs (but no less arrogant and overbearing, in fact more so) and their ageing Ah Lian (by now married) wives drive VW Passats.Originally posted by VW King:Aiyoh...EG civic, so old....scrap la.....I see alot on the road, all thrashed up and the paint job also like salted veg.

It depends on what u mod really... some people are really only concerned abt cosmetics. Some are really into the engine bay and exhaust mods... some are just ICE siao....
For me I just like to do up cosmetics.... some of my friends who drive the same car as me are mad abt the performance part though they know a Honda City is a Honda City, it cannot run like a Maserati haha... but to them it is really personal satisfaction....
i dun quite agree with the u mod people think u fake.... i think its up to the individual to mod his car the way he likes... if u think he is some kind of poseur, i think the problem lies with u....

I must really admit that some people really have weird taste.
For eg, a kia with a Rex spoiler
a madza with a Rex scoop
a toyota with a oversize carbon firbre spoiler.
But well, I have seen some that are quite nicely done up.
Well, it is up to individual bah. -

for example:
-
-
ohhh ugly!
-
whatever possessed people to do things like that?!
-
-
here's an interesting mod. any one could do it themselves and cheaply too!
-
well.. we have see the world ugliest cars already... and i thought that some of the cars in singapore was bad... it has changed my impression... the mazda 323 with the GT wing suddenly looks nice compare to those...

i still think that anyone looking at adding anything to ur car that doesn't serve any purpose or fixing something that u will probably never use in the course of owning the vehicle, makes u a poseur to a certain extent.
like putting an air scoop where there's nothing to cool. like putting rear brake disk covers when there are no calipers to stop the disk. like pasting a huge "type-R" sticker on ur windscreen when hyundai has never made a type-R in the entire span of their business...... its called rice. -

How about Tofu stickers when my father is not selling tofu and my car doesnt even have a cup holder?
-
faster install cup holder. install the deluxe holder which can hold like 8 giant slurpee sized cups and also lights up at night with cool neon lights.Originally posted by jiayong:How about Tofu stickers when my father is not selling tofu and my car doesnt even have a cup holder? -
well said, if it doesn't serve any purpose might as well don't mod huh... but still, pasting stickers e.g. Mugen Power, Type-R etc... up to them loh, i mean, some people love the look of it so they thought it would be nice to have them, just chill bro...Originally posted by tailslide:i got prob understanding the 1st part. if u think that someone who think that someone is a poseur has a prob, i think u also got prob liao. u are contradicting ur own belief in freedom of expression did u realize?

no prob. go to www.topgear.com and look for the "carbage" section. a lot of funny pics there. -
You don't think it is cool, but the owner does, isn't that all that matters. I personnally like those who personnalize their ride, at least you wouldn't be bored by all those like alike car running around in the Jams.Originally posted by tailslide:......makes u a poseur to a certain extent.

u can change ur air filter, ur exhaust, ur ICE, ur brakes, ur suspension, even ur engine. isn't this called "personalizing" ur ride as well?Originally posted by wbucket:.......I personnally like those who personnalize their ride, at least you wouldn't be bored by all those like alike car running around in the Jams.
y go personalizing ur ride by sticking stickers telling everyone that ur car is something it isn't (type-R on a hyundai, ferrari logo on a toyota)? or adding something that does absolutely nothing (air vents that go nowhere, neon lights to attract insects)? thats not simply personalizing. thats called being a poseur.
