Stock Car Or Modified?


Recommended Posts

Minimal modification is nice, just to personalize the car a bit. Modifications that are a bit aggressive, to say the least, can compromise the safety of the car itself; i.e. the car was not designed to withstand the modifications. Improper modification could possibly cut corners meant to be spent on, specifically with regards to the structural integrity of the body ( mainly regarding safety, such as crumple zones, braces, brakes, and suspension). I've seen suspension modifications that are simply, dangerous; cutting coil springs to achieve the "lowered" look, instead of buying new sets of lowering springs. Perhaps it is a bit cheaper to do so, but I feel that it is an irresponsible choice, since it is an accident waiting to happen.

 

I have a limit on spending on upgrades. If I were to plan these upgrades, spending 200 grand would be the limit. Spending more would make me feel that I bought the wrong car, and I should have a better stock car instead.

 

I'm still very contented with my lightly modified car. Wheels, interior and trunk lighting, car horn.

Any comments on vertical door conversion?

 

 

When I was 17 (I am now 35), this would have been cool. We did this on my civic, true enough tawag pansin sa parking lot pero mixed reactions.

 

the Lambo door/scissor doors was a necessity for the countach kasi sa sobrang laki ng pinto niya, tatamaan ang katabing kotse so they devised a way to open it vertical.

 

downside is after6-8months humihirap buksan, minsan pa nag stustuck halfway pag may maling alighment and ang ayaw ko sa lahat, may kalampag pag nalulubak.

 

I regretted doing it.

 

now that I am 35, I wil not do it to any of my cars even if kits are ready available. And now that may mga lamborghini na dito sa pinas, parang trying hard ang dating .

 

this is just my opinion

 

Back to topic on stock to modified.

 

Kindly visit this youtube video

 

 

in the back ground you could see my past ride. it is a 2007 sti hawkeye. Nabili ko ng 2.250m then I modded it for 1,7m (1,100,000.00 is for the race cosworth engine).

 

kaka kalikot ko nabenta ko lang lahat nuong 2012 ng 1m flat .

 

so napaisip ako na di na ako mag momodify susunod.

 

now with my gtr pa mags mags and exhaust tip na lang

In my point of view.

 

Modified. But know your limits. Consider also that your car should be road worthy and consider also not only you and your passengers' safety but also the safety of other motorists.

 

 

Not too loud, not too silent

Not too bright, not too dim

Not too high, not too low

Not too fast, not too slow

Stay classy, not trashy

Drive safely!!
