Title: Car Modification
Post by: TimmyB88 on June 29, 2021, 01:47:38 PM: I feel like being a car enthusiast goes hand and hand with skateboarding sometimes.
Anyway, what ya guys driving? and do you modify your cars?

I have a 2017 Jetta GLI with some bolts ons, a tune and full suspension for the mountain drives.

Good threads, but wanted to focus more on the modification side of things.

Post by: iKobrakai on June 30, 2021, 10:08:27 PM: Got a 2016 Fiesta ST200. Stock.

If I was in UK, my ass would be at Mountune straight away. I still have a year warranty and doubt they'll like me fucking around with mods, even though Ford actually has a 300 HP engine warranty through some partners in UK.

Don't want to sacrifice reliability so was thinking a remap+ exhust+some filter, maybe?

Also, gas prices are fucking insane in Sweden, so there is an upper limit, for sure. Oh, yeah, I don't have a garage, so I would need to pay for labor too. But I'm actually happy with stock, it it was 4x4, I'd never sell it, ever.

All the JDMs are beyond crazy priced. 20k+ for Evo's in the shittiest of state... Damn 30 somethings with disposable income.

I was just joking. I think those cars are so rediculos looking and sounding. I dig tasteful mods though.

Hahaha

GLI's are sweet dude. I drive an MK6 GTI and it's stock right now, only because I had to pay a shitload out of pocket to fix timing assembly and rear main seal a year after buying it. However, I am building up a little chunk of change to go APR stage 1 soon!
