Customizers.....List your mods here........

[imported_Luster]

Since this a customizing forum, I am interested to know what kind of modifications you have made to your cars (and trucks).......



And how much you`ve spent on after-market mod`s......(although its none of my business!)



Here goes:



17� Motegi MR7 Chrome Wheels

BFGoodrich Comp T/A 50 Series

Custom Painted Engine Bay

20% 3M Window Tint

Reflective Concepts Overlays

Wheel-Skins Leather Steering Cover

DynoMax Super-Turbo Exhaust

Audiobahn Bandpass 10� Sub

Removed Resonator / U-bend

Audiobahn Power Amplifier

Buick Strut Tower Braces

4 Audiobahn Door Speakers

Custom Red / Yellow Loom (by Pam!)

Street Scenes Speed Grills

Streetglow Headlight Strobes

STB & Fender Brace Graphics

De-Badged

Painted Calipers & Rotors

Brushed Alum Engine Cover Overlays

Removed UnderHood Pad

Perfect-Fit Hood Protector / Deflector

Sylvania SilverStar SuperWhites

Custom Flames

Lotek Pods, AutoMeter Gauges

Acura Cold Air Intake / K&N Cone

Stainless Steel Exhaust Heat Shield

Lexan Intake Heat Shield

Lloyd Embroidered Trunk Mat

MDM Deck Mat & Custom Plexi GT



I`ve spent about $2400. My wife has bought me about $800 in mods for gifts (Christmas, B-day, Father`s Day!)...



Total $3200......



Not too bad for a hobby. I know a lot of guys that spend that much on a set of golf clubs!



Will I ever get that back?......NO.....but it`s worth it to me for the fun of MODDING!

[Scottwax]

1990 Accord LX



Engine:



AEM cold air intake

AEM tru-power pulleys

DC Sports ceramic 4-2-1 header

EX ECU (no top speed limiter!)

Custom 2.25" exhaust w/Catgo high flow cat and a Vortec turbo muffler (very quiet at cruising speeds, nice roar at full throttle)



Wheels & tires



15 x 6.5 Konig Caffienes

Panther (made by BF Goodrich) 195/60 15s



Suspension:



Tenzo front and rear upper strut bars

Suspension Techiniques front anti-roll bar



Exterior:



Shaved emblems

Clear corners and bumpers-corners done JDM style with amber bulbs (see attached pic)

Silverstar 9006-9005 conversion



Sound system:



Sony head unit (cassette-got it about 5 years ago and I`ve got tons of tapes)

Kenwood KAC-848 4 x 50w amp

JBL-GTO-602 speakers in the doors

Kicker Impulse 6.5s in the rear deck



Miscellaneous:



Tinted windows

Sidewinder alarm



Cost? I don`t know, a lot more than the car is worth.

[TortoiseAWD]

`92 Eagle Talon TSi AWD:

• Custom Spearco 221-B FMIC and piping (filter relocated to fender well)
  
• 3" turbo back exhaust.
  
• TRE-ported 2G exhaust manifold
  
• TRE-ported 2G O2 sensor housing
  
• 2G throttle body elbow
  
• TRE-ported 16G turbo (no clip); 34-mm wastegate valve installed to prevent boost creep
  
• Autronic stand-alone fuel computer
  
• J&S Safeguard (not yet installed)
  
• Aftermarket brake pads (Metal Matrix??? I think)
  
• Upgraded suspension: Koni front/GAB rear; Eibach Pro-kit springs . . . I also have a set of Ground Control coil-overs sitting in the garage that I haven`t installed yet (includes springs, but will use the Koni/GAB struts I already have).
  
• Dunlop SP8000 "fair weather" tires
  
• Gauges
  
  - White-faced gauge conversion
  
  - center-vent mount holds two gauges, currently VDO 0-30 psi boost and AutoMeter A/F, but I have two new white-faced gauges from Westach to replace those (not yet installed); one is -30 to 30 psi boost, and the other is a dual gauge that shows fuel pressure and EGT
  
• Upgraded stereo stuff (nothing to shout about, just "better than stock" . . . Aiwa head unit, forget what brand the door speakers are (Panasonic?), and an easily-removed sub-box in the hatch (not built in)
  
• Tranny recently completely rebuilt and freshened
  
• ACT 2600 clutch
  
• short shifter and bushings
  
• Salvage yard "big-brake" upgrade (not yet installed)
  

The motor is currently out of the car; I slagged the #2 piston at the track and it scored the block. I happened to have a bottom-end from a `90 (a parts car that I own), and the head was undamaged (and recently freshened), so the rebuild shouldn`t be too painful. Nothing special planned for the rebuild other than `95+ pistons, which will bump compression slightly (should improve off-boost performance a bit).



So far on the WRX:

• TrunkMonkey!
  
• Thermal R&D 3" cat-back
  
• Godspeed up-pipe
  
• Stromung downpipe (hi-flow cat)
  
• 17" Rota Tarmac wheels/Falken Azenis tires
  
• Defi HUD boost gauge/turbo timer
  
• Color matching OEM side skirts
  
• K&N panel filter; hacked airbox
  
• Prodrive springs, to-be-installed (TBI)
  
• Goodridge braided stainless brake lines, upgraded pads (TBI)
  

I have plans to add an intercooler sprayer this spring, maybe fuel control if I can drum up a few $$$ detailing friends` cars with the warmer weather. The computer is about $1000, but worth about 20 whp on an otherwise stock car, plus the ability to tune for modifications as they start to exceed the abilities of the stock ECU.

That`s an"Imprezive" mod list......



I`m glad I`m not the only MOD-MANIAC around here!



The highest compliment I have been given on my mods is this:



"Your outta control.......I mean seriously outta control!"



I responded: "Thank you."

Ah, but to get a TrunkMonkey, you must first acquire the Beauty of All-Wheel Drive



Me, a mod-maniac? It`s not my fault modifications are like `tater chips . . . betcha can`t install just one.

Thanks, Detailbarn.......



It`s easy to "over-do-it" when it comes to mods.



I subscribe to the less is more theory.

Your theory goes with my mod list. Cat back Flowmaster, 4x4 wheels, and a chopped intake.
