What's more your style... ride wise...? What kind of changes would you make to your car if any at all?

Since we are talking about performance modifications/upgrades i will go for modifications, but nothing crazy, ECU, Crankshaft pulley's, Headers, LSD, Suspension if needed. From the better of the tuners that is all you need for over 100hp. For very little money.

For me, it would be completely stock with very few minor tweaks. I would rather go for the best wheels from the company itself than search for aftermarket ones.

I like elegance over in your face. And engine mods IMO on german cars and italian and bristish cars is just a waste. I mean buy then in the best variant instead of wasting all that time and energy over something that will very much cost you less but will deliver an inferior product, void the warranty AND be unreliable as hell.

I don't mind a few tweaks like add some internal player or whatever, but nothing major and no r1c3r type stuff.

I dont believe in external mods personally, though in posts i've made in past times you might see the contrary. I believe from the outset that a car is designed to look a certain way, and aftermarket wheels are never designed to go w/ the contours and overall body language of any car IMO. I'd look to an OEM acessories catalog for wheel upgrades. However I do like under the hood work, whatever gives my car a little more pep than the next

Re: Poll: Mods? No Mods? - 11-13-2005, 01:14 AM

I dunno. It all depends on the car - I find having engine mods and bodykits on most European cars horrible and, for some obscure reason...how do you say...sacreligious? It just doesn't really seem 'right' for European cars to have insane modifications done to it, but however, I do like some cars with some mods, such as the Kleeman CL55 and the Novitec 360. But in general, not a fan.

On the other hand, I feel that Japanese cars really suit modifications - maybe I'm just more used to it, but it just feels more 'right' on a Japanese car. For instance, a stock S15 looks, well, boring, but on the other hand, fit an S15 with a Vertex Ridge bodykit and you instantly have a desirable and more agressive looking car.

So it really depends on the car I guess. Some cars don't suit modifications, but some do.

I agree Top, Jap cars are far more well suited for mods than Euro cars.

Like Reaper said! Aftermarket rims don't fit well with the rest of car most of the times.

While there are some weird looking after market rims there are also some really good looking ones. Stock rims are usually good looking but not that exciting and the top of the range in house rims are usually over priced.

No mods for me! If i ever buy a BMW, MB or another Volvo, I might consider an M pack, AMG pack, or R pack, but nothing more! I don't like ruining a car with an ugly bodycit
