Ever feel like you're done modding your car?? I'm talking Daily drivers mainly...

[Bob Kazamakis]

I just feel like leaving mine as is and concentrating on other things. Wanting to lower mine got me thinking about it because I have to roll my rear quarters to do it and all my mods up to now are fairly easily reversible.

Anybody else feel similar or that they're done?

The ranger I felt like was 'done' after the swap was in, and then I had all kinds of big plans, and then maintence/detail stuff started popping up...

Now I feel like its turning into the SHO, never gonna have money to mod it because I'm too busy fixing it. (not really the case, but just kinda dis-heartening when all of a sudden it goes from being a bad-ass little truck to kinda 'falling apart' in the wiring department........

Buying the Cobalt has taken away that feeling, so I can go back to modding at my leisure....

I think its a mutual feeling when you are modding your DD... "Never feels done"

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

The more I think about it the less I wanna mess with it. The ride quality is good, gets the best mpg it'll ever get and is peppy enough for something I drive 70 miles a day with it. Plus I think money could be spent better elsewhere

 

[Angus]

I just have a few more things on the mustang to do and I think I'll be pretty much done...

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

I bought my DD cause I wanted something fun to drive because I couldn't handle driving a normal boring car but it turned into yet another project. I'll probably own it another year....maybe 2

I like my car as it sits. Saving for bigger and better things now.

 

[Euro]

Yup, for sure. I didn't get to start anything on my shit...oh well

Stop modding the WRX and get the GS on the road.

i know.....kinda what this is about. I kind of came to a realization that it's silly to keep modding a car I won't want in a few years and that I should invest my time in a car I'll own forever.

 

[blakbearddelite]

If I had to give an arbitrary percentage of completion, I'd have to say I'm about 70%. I just need a built motor and a fuel system to support it. Then the car is basically done.

 

[TonzKnock-G]

a few more mods then im done till the warranty is gone...

 

[Eagle]

No true project car is ever done. Will I mod my Odyssey? No. The GTP past what's already done to it? Doubtful. The TA? Uhm... yes. I'm positive of it.

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

Guess this is more towards daily drivers...... Or people with 1 car.

 

[Eagle]

Said the guy with how many cars?

 

[EmersonHart13]

I would like to do more but since it is my DD and it is an overpriced GP I try to restrain myself and spend money on better things.

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

4. but I haven't spent money on the other 2 in like 3 years. I think that's about to change! The focus just gets upkeep....that crapper doesn't count

 

[EmersonHart13]

Just had a rental Fuckus, thing was fabulous!

 

[Yaj Yak]

i consider it occasionally... but then thought of "just" another 1k-1500$ into my trans and itd be bulletproof and i could crank up the boost on e85 and go 11s hunting. then i feel like going much quicker wont be too cool. mainly cuz what new cars are running stock- or barely modded- perfect example- new mustangs... barely have any mods and going 11s. fuck. or v6 mustangs going quicker than my car stock... and slightly modded for that

plus i want a diesel. bad. baaaaad

Three years ago I set out to make my car a reliable ten second street car. It ran tens with ease the first time out. So I figured try for nines. Well a pulley change made that possible the very next track outing. Well nines was easy so how about eights? lol So a switch from the t trim Vortech to a 80mm turbo I set out to the track. In 6 passes I maxed out the 80mm turbo running 9.32. So a 88mm turbo is on the car now. LOL Along with a few other things I hope to be in the eights soon.

Along with the eight second goal I thought how I never had a car that had good brakes. So an upgrade to 4 piston rotors up front and maybe dual calipers in the rear is in the near future. And yes, two calipers per side on the rears to help staging the car while spooling the turbo. Along with the brakes to help with deceleration a parachute was put on the car for track duty.

Did I mention I need a upgraded stereo system? How about a paint job? lol yeah, it goes on and on. HAHA

 

[Eagle]

^^^ I like this guy.

 

[Pressure Ratio]

It is an addiction. It really is. lol Once you are bitten by the speed bug your screwed. You always want to go faster.

Dude I went from 11.80 to 9.34 in like 16 passes at the track and maxing out two power adders in the process. That is just messed up. HAHAHA

But aside from the turbo your car is stock just a cam would get you close to the 10's, I.E. phatrides car. It's a completely stock l67, just has a cam and not even pushing it ran 11.4...
