Anyone into modifying cars on here? * 1
    #25115600 - 04/05/18 10:30 AM (5 years, 9 months ago)

I have done various mods to my cars over the years. I used to have an 08 Pontiac G8 GT. Awesome car I loved it. 361 horsepower and 386 pounds of torque stock. It wasnt enough for me so I decided to put a supercharger on it with inter cooler. I put headers and full exhaust. Tuned it myself. Replaced all bushings in the suspension with polyurethane ones. New front and rear sway bars, sub frame connectors, trailing arms, and toe rods. I also did the brakes and replaced the fluid with racing fluid. Had the alignment set up for the track but also decent for street driving. It made over 500 horsepower. It also would cut out 4 cylinders while cruising so I would get 31 mpg highway. Pretty good for a 500 horsepower car. It handled like a dream. It was so easy to control going sideways around turns like it was driving itself. I took it to the drag strip and it ran 11.8 on the stock tires. I was getting worse traction than on the street because tracks are prepped for slicks. With slicks it would have done 10s. I was going to take it to road courses but I moved to CA and sold it because I had a truck and boat and couldnt really take it with me. I miss that car so much. Great car.

I dont have as much money now as then so I picked up a 97 Trans AM. It has 117,000 miles and is in very good condition for its age. No rust and just a few little scrapes. Everything works on it. It has long tube headers, an off road y pipe and magnaflow exhaust. It also has a tune. Im not really planning on modding it at least not right now.

Have any sports cars? Have you modded any?

I would like to mod my SUV in the future. But Ive never modded a race car. Thatd be sick. Love me some show cars. I would have a bad ass design and color scheme on my car.

Got any pics?

Call me a ricer but I have a 1994 Acura Integra with a gsr engine and trans swap. Tannabe hyper medallion muffler, full 3" pipes,aem intake, sheep built header, test pipe. Slammed on coil overs, 17" rims on 215-45. Super nice paint job.. But my rockers are.rusting bad. I also have two e.g. civics with d16z6 ones one 6psi ebay turbo setup. The other is stock / bolt ons.

I hate front wheel drive but can respect any fast car. How much power is that turbo civic making?

I dont have any pics anymore. I literally lost everything I had.

what kind of SUV you got? What do you want to do to it?

I dig custom paint but that gets pricey.

It sucked that I never got to take my G8 on a road course. I had already paid to go to one but ended up selling it before I had the chance. I also had a hook up to get on a private track near me. I got to drive it on the street a bunch though.

The civic made 310hp /252 tq on 93 pump. Everyone says they hate fwd but I guarantee a properly set up car is much better then you'd expect. I've upset many people with my civic and integra and will continue to do so.

Thats some pretty good hp for a civic. About the same as my Trans Am. I wonder who would win. I got more torque and have wider tires than stock but you are lighter.

I raced some old guy in a 2018 Chrysler 300s a couple months ago. It was cold and I had the traction control off like always. I was spinning and fishtailing all the way to 40 when I let off. Beat him. I bet he was surprised with his brand new car.

Is your integra stick?

The turbo civic has 225-55-17 tires and weighs 2250 with me and half a tank of fuel. It's more of a roll racer, it doesn't like to hook on a dig on the streets and I've broken two trans and a few axles at the track grudge racing.

Yes the Integra is a 5 speed. The gsr option was never an automatic.

That sucks things keep breaking. Its an economy car not designed for power. Sports cars will have problems too when making serious power some more than others. GM vehicles are pretty good in that respect. The older ones the weakest link was the rear end. The newer ones are pretty good though.

My TA has 275s all around on corvette rims. The rims look nice on the car but are starting to get some bad spots.

The only problem Im having is the damn pop up headlight motor grinds when it lowers. Its embarrassing. I replaced the gear inside for $15 but its still doing it. Its just worn out. I can get a new motor for $125.

Im hoping to upgrade my SUV to make it make it offroad ready. Like lift it a couple inches, put accessories like a metal bumper guard and those offroad flood lights.

Wish i could go full on with the snorkle, an electric winch and shovel attachment but that would be very expensive.

Thats cool never really been off roading except one time. I was on vacation in Cali and I took my Ford Taurus rental car on a off road only desert trail. Good thing I didnt get stuck because I encountered some loose sand.

I was just thinking this morning. I was in Tennessee in 2009 when I had the G8. There is a bad ass road called tail of the dragon. Its 11 miles and 381 turns. Its the most popular driving road in the US. Anyway there is a photographer that takes pictures. So I found mine. There is 9 of them. I paid for my favorite one. I will post it as soon as I can download it. It looks so beautiful and bad ass.

I only had a tune at that time. After I had it set for racing I took it back but there was a rock slide and the road was closed. Bullshit.

I'd like to join a driving school next time I move by a big city.


Houston had a school, MSR I think it was, high speed track with those 80mph go kart leagues on some days, all the car leagues on others. Have driving courses where it's half classroom and half in car instruction in your own car.

I want a 92 iroc to modify a little here and there, I'm so white trash, I wouldn't spend much money on it but I'd spend some time on it. I also want a Miata stick, I've always heard great things about them little cars on the track, affordable peppy and great dialy drivers.

I recently changed careers and don't make nearly as much either so a $5k car that's easy to work on and peppy with a stick, I'm sold.

I look forward to learning how to drive as a sport and then finding the limits of tbe car and then modifying it and seeing real time at the track how big of a difference it made.

I think I'd end up liking both fwd and rwd for their unique differences

I did that road on a Harley last year. It was fucking epic (that's my Harley in the foreground):



I've modified the fuck out of many cars and have conquered many race tracks (including the Nurburgring) in my youth but I'm over all that now. It's way too expensive and I wanna cruise slow and in comfort when driving. Two wheels are much better for going fast anyway:



There's not much out there on four wheels that could beat me on that thing....

I go pretty hard into the modding cars thing. I'm also a diehard VAG enthusiast.
I've always been into cars but I didn't start modding them until a lot later.. the mod bug really hit me about 10 years or so ago. and basically each of my past 3 cars have been progressively more modded.

Current ride is a sleeper Stage 3, 2016 VW Golf R
here she was when I first got it


Picked it up from my good (car) friend at ~20k miles, after he had already dumped like 25k worth of mods into it. (He goes through cars like toilet paper, so he's a good resource lol)
Engine rebuilt with forged IE internals, Big Turbo, ALL the bolt ons, suspension fully done.. almost everything on the car was modded/upgraded before I even got it. The mod list is fucking long.
Which... to most people that would be a bad thing. But this is my good friend.. he's a hardcore enthusiast.. and he only gets top notch parts and does everything PROPERLY.
This was the car that I really wanted... and he pretty much took care of almost all the modding for me (that I would have done myself anyway... eventually....), and I got it with a new turbo and freshly rebuilt and upgraded engine.
He saved me a shitton of time and money. So it was a fucking score and a half.

 
 
I've since taken off most of the stickers and put a ridiculous amount more into it.. bigger turbo, custom tune, water/meth setup, big brake kit, forged wheels, ceramic coating, etc..
next is adding Multi-Port injection, upgrading fueling.. E85 kit and upgraded head/springs, UM tuning..

   

Here it is now.. much more subtle... it looks like just a Golf from a distance.. until you hear it rumbling in Sport mode




I haven't hit a dyno since upgrading the turbo and adding w/m, but it was sitting at around ~430 WHP @ 24psi before I started messing with it. Once I get everything dialed in I want to get dynoed and see what kind of times it can hit at the strip. I'm expecting around 470-500whp. I have little doubt it can be a 10s car with the right setup. Thing is a fucking beast and handles like a dream. That AWD combined with all the suspension upgrades, thing stays planted as a motherfucker around the bends.

But this thing is a fucking DEMON. On cold start, it sounds like a fucking diesel truck, I know it pisses my neighbors off in the morning lol. With the exhaust valves open and in Sport mode, it is LOUD as FUCK. Almost too loud for me. I have a button though, that I can electronically open or close the exhaust valves, so that's cool. So when I pass a cop and want to go into stealth mode I just go into normal mode and close the exhaust valves to go into super quiet stealth mode.

But it's not a track car...even though it's basically fully set up for the track (minus a giant ass wing and some aero shit). I do track sometimes but this is just my daily driver and canyon cruiser demon and destroyer of V8 dreams who think they are super hot shit :cool:

But yeah.. after upgrading head, adding MPI and upgrading fueling... I am literally out of things I can mod lol. Aside from other cosmetic or aero shit.. which probably isn't far off. lol. Or going to an even bigger turbo after upgrading the head, lol. The bug is insatiable.

I'm at a 50k miles now, so that's 30k at Stage 3 power levels, and so far everything has been A-ok.. no major failures.. I'm definitely keeping up on all my maintenance. Even though the car is insane, I want it to last hopefully a long time. It's not TOO insane.
