POLL: is your car "modded"?

[sash1]

pfft. Not wasting money on a car I'm only using until the end of HS (in 1 yr and 5 mo. ). I am considering buying a new CD player for it though. But that would be it.

How sad...

Well I guess its just personal preference, to many people, a computer is simply a tool for word processing, email, and internet browsing. But to people on anandtech, a computer is much more than that. I guess what im trying to say is that everybody is some sort of geek in their respected field. Somethings you love and rave about, and somethings you just could care less. Everybody is different.

I was just kidding, that's what the little winking smiley means... one other thing - Anandtech is about computers?

I guess I'm different in that I'm interested in more than one or two things? (OK, OK, I'm different for other reasons, too. So you don't have to go there!)

I had Eibach Pro-Kit lowering springs and KYB AGX struts put on recently. Handling and ride are vastly improved. 17" wheels/tires, exhaust, rear sway bar, engine tuning, and some minor cosmetic mods (body-colored side skirts and splash guards) should all be on by late this spring. That's probably all I'll do.

Still wheel shopping or have you decided?

if so, then yes, highly modded

Just can't seem to decide. Trying to get the right combination between looks, weight, price, and strength is driving me nuts. If I bought them today though, I would get silver P1's (despite their 20lb weight and even though my GF says she hates them)...

edit: or I might just get the silver Rota Tarmac II's. They weight a little less, cost a lot less, and clear the STi Brembo brakes (should I ever decide to upgrade).

 

[TuffGuy]

oops, wrong thread...

 

[beatle]

OH YEAH!

 

[nitrousninja]

See sig.

 

[SWScorch]

yeah, I tricked out my 89 Pontiac Sunbird by adding a cushion to the seat so my back doesn't hurt.

 

[eplebnista]

completely stock

 

[BMdoobieW]

1995 Pontiac Grand Am SE V6 with two prominent bumper stickers on the truck lid:
1. Cornell (written in Hebrew)
2. Na Nach Nachma Nachman V'Uman (written in Hebrew)

 

[SirStev0]

where is batman floormats and a black light on the poll list

 

[PeeluckyDuckee]

100% stock 2001 Prelude. Won't guarantee that when summer rolls around though Mainly i/h/e mods.

 

[Bullhonkie]

Basically stock. Unless you count floor mats, dead pedal, and HVAC controls changed to red as mods.

Although I will be very tempted to jump on the Vishnu bandwagon once he has a plug-and-play ECU solution for the STi. Getting a sizeable tax refund this year isn't going to help that temptation either.

 

[Abhi]

Just the sound system...

 

[clamum]

12" subwoofer and amp with a shatty Sony CD player.

Oh yeah, and a few stickers on my dash and a couple on the rear window.

 

[xizor]

[EyeMWing]

Vandura -
Completely custom interior.
Roof ladder.
CB

Car computer provisions
Repainted.

Turbovan:
Vehicle lightening (Removed sound deadener under carpet)
PowerStroke intercooler

[Pliablemoose]

03' Ford V6 MT F150, tonneau cover, line-x sprayed on bedliner, aluminum toolbox, aluminum tailgate cover.

After the warranty expires, I'll chip it & mod the intake & exhaust.

I know it's far from a Lightning, but it gets from point A to point B pretty reliably.

Just follow someone down a gravel road, and the chipping will take car of itself!
