The '"Official" Car-modding Thread!

"Speed is just a question of money... how fast can you go?" .... I like that quote.... I love all those Mad Max cars too! ~~~

 

to quote that guy on tv, "tight ride, dude"

 

is that off the program pimp my ride?

 

i think so...that is a pretty good show, no? i love seeing what they do to POS cars

 

2003 eclipse gts spyder. Body kit, roll bar, air ride suspension, exhaust, carbon fiber hood, nothing done to engine yet.

 

that's so good i think it's almost sexual

 

"That ride is tha P.I.M.P."

 

part way through moding my car but its costley
subaru imprza wrx 320bhp
tien adjustable suspension
superchip
blitz bov
apextype-r boost control unit
0-60 5.1 sec
0-100 9.3 sec
top speed 175mph

 

wrx is my favorite modern car. those sti's are incredible.

 

yes they are but costly to run i get 18 miles to the gallon.

 

my firebird only gets about 18 mpg also, and i use it to deliver pizzas.

 

lols, its a constant dice up between power and performance, although you can get an LPG conversion on most petrol cars, and u get a button to press between petrol (speed/power), LPG (economy) and you can buy LPG fuel for 28p a litre....

 

Ive got a '90 Mazda RX-7. So far Ive upgraded the intake and exhaust so she's completely free-flowing. Also have front and rear strut braces. It has a n/a rotary engine now making about 190 hp, when you rev it up (redline is 8000) it sounds sweet

 

I've got an '87 peugeot 309. It's mods include washing it twice last year & fitting a new tyre to it's f/n/s. It has a massive 1100cc inline 4 with the standard carb. She will do nearly 100mph down a very steep hill when I put up the extra sails! An anchor thrown swiftly out of the drivers' side window improves braking by almost 1/4 of a mile. The stereo has a mind of its' own, & is inaudible over 50mph.
Beat that suckers!!!

 

wouldn't putting sails up when accelerating down a steep hill generally slow you down, kinda like a parachute? ;-P

 

Not if you have a very stiff breeze behind you!! I am very particular when the sails go up!!!
Especially the spinnaker.
Quite correctly it would slow it down, these serve as extra braking when the rope from my anchor breaks. They have double usage.
Very handy, as I like to get my moneys worth out of this new fangled technology!
And a bottle or rum, me hearties,

 

if anyone is still watchin this thread (and in that case keeping it serious, as is not particularly apparent) i have a honda civic 1.6 SE (yes its a rare model that have almost no performance parts so im f'ed in that way). its mods include streetglow undercar neon and LED shift knob, as well as clarion system with audiobahn amplifier and sony xplod 12" subwoofer. near future mods are an aftermarket muffler (backbox), trunk (boot)neon, hood neon and cold air intake if i can find one to fit (help on this would be greatly appreciated)

 

Aswell as a buxom wench in the cabin.
