Pointless car mods

[ubercal]

tip1:
dont mod a **** box ie citi golf , polo , tazz , avanzi etc because nothing u do will make the car look nice.you need to start with a solid foundation

tip2:
dont buy anything from autostyle

tip3:
only buy quality aftermarket parts that are either oem quality or better.

Need I/C... but flipping everything has to be imported. IM still in two minds, the current power is perfect for the chassis, I dont want to mess with the balance. But a good I/C is always a good thing, cooler temps bodes well for turbo and engine longevity

true ,quality intercoolers are expensive.Looking at getting one but they cost from 900 us dollars and upwards

99% of my mods are bought fromm overseas , as its so difficult to find them local.

What constitutes a quality intercooler (for that price)?

Knobs who drive a 1996 Mazda 323 yet still think gluing on a shark fin looks so bad-ass, extra points of it's skew and not centered correctly.

I’m curious how you get around the import tax .

Less points if you don't spot the PS.

Where else must I find blind spot mirrors? Seems rare as hens teeth these days.

Back on topic:
There are some lowered cars here where I work, also have to do the angled crawl over speed bumps. The BMWs also slow down a lot for the speed bumps. seems my Figo handles speedbumps much better than their fancy cars.

Worse than that are the idiots in their stock standard BMW's that creep over speed bumps sideways, even going into the oncoming lane.

I do not care about what anyone does to their car.

HOWEVER A STRAIGHT PIPED 350/370Z CREATES THE MOST APPALLING RACKET ON EARTH!!!

 

[Kloofvreter]

It lasts longer than a stock filter, and can be cleaned.

Yeah, you make up your money after 7 filter replacements

The quality of a product, IMHO, other than craftsmanship, is the R&D that goes into it. Testing and effeciency. The reason some cars have little to no parts here, is that nobody is willing to invest the R&D. Hence most of the bits I want is in the UK.

I didnt but its not bad at all. shipping cost can be rough, especially if the item is big/heavy

Saw a slammed Tazz with stretched tyres struggling with speed humps. Damping was also atrocious as the car wouldn't stop bouncing. I doubt the driver can do over 60km/h in it.

Also saw a stock Corolla taking a small speed hump sideways.

And pissing just everywhere.

I have no issue with mods, done right.

Same goes on and on... Then there's also visual mods, done well can be sweet.

For that reason I like my high lifting door handles on my Polo.
