Mods on euro....

Im still very much in the "breaking-in" process of my Euro(6mt) still only clocking up about 1900km's but i've been wanting to do so many things to it, but have decided against it mainly due to warranty/insurance.

I'd ideally like to do a wide range of things and have been able to learn from others especially from this forum! *kudos, cheers and many thanks!*

Basically what it has come down to is, the more I save and bide my time the more I will be able to "play" and modify my car to my liking when the time is right (warranty/insurance/money aside!)

As im in the same boat as you Faiz, I was very fortunate to have my parents buy my car for me and im VERY thankful. Whilst im a little older than you, this doesn't mean I haven't seen Fast and the Furious or played NFSU :P teehee jk.
Anyways, as tempting as it may be (ESPECIALLY reading these forums), dont be in any major rush to modify your car just yet. As others have no doubtedly mentioned, you have a great car and I think you realise that more and more from other peoples comments. There are alot of other things to take into consideration such as insurance, warranty and especially at your age. Hell Im worried enough as is and im just shy of 22.

Ideally its up to you, but do you really need to go taking on cars with bigger engines in an auto 4cyl on your l's/p's!? If you really want to do things to your car, change the aesthetics to your liking, maybe rims, or even a kick ass stereo! I spent money on an awesome stereo for my first car (96' Civic hatch) and it could set off car alarms on just over a quarter of full volume:D

You have timeeeeeeeeeeeeee for it all dude, just be patient! read heaps, this is a great place to learn so much about the car you have and what you can do to it. Then when you know exactly what you want to do, just do it. Forget about what everyone else says!


I haven't slept yet so forgive my rambling :) but good luck to you in any case

With a car like that Euro you won't need to go fast to pull in the attentions of chicks as they would call it. Style class, damn i'm drooling need to get myself one as well, it's nearly sex on wheel. But not quite. But driving a luxury car at such a young age, to me seem to give that impression that it's not your car. You know how cars suit different ages, some people are successful and get a nice car at a young age like a Merc. But imagine seeing a teeager in his 20's rock to uni in a Merc E class . You know it won't be his car it will be there parents car for sure. or there money.

Just take it easy and don't kill yourself before your 25 street racing.
Tell you one thing if you ever do own a fast car you won't race on the street bcause you know you beat most of them and it's a waste of fuel and you value you license more because by then you need it for you job.
Real races are done on track and drags cause it's fair and you get a timeslip in B/W to prove how fast you car is, and it's the safest

but owning a WRX i do value the power on tap to get myself out of sticky situation where as if i had a corolla i wouldn't be here typing. Speed is not everything , there is someone that is going to have more cash to inject to there car to be better than you, so you'll never catch up, as long as you value what you got and don't worry about what others thing, you live a very stress free and happy life

this is not a flaming just some good advice.....you probably won't take it and in a few years time looking back you think i should have listen...i know i did that, we all have to learn the hard way ...happy motoring

nahhh, hes a slacker, his parents bought them cars for him

Got my K&N Typhoon cold air intake kit today! :D :D :D

I will have to fit it tomorrow I think. It's a flash red one!

Alright!
Let's keep to the topic.

:)

euro is a great car especially for a first car. my first car was a 79 UC torana, sharing it with my bro. :) you are lucky, and stop complaining with the car your given, its an awersome car man, either its your first or your last car.
i think all you need to do at the moment is clean the car at least once a week, during summer, your car gets dirty easier (well at least 4 me) . other then that, basic breathing mods and if you want to lower it, get some decent lowering springs. dont go overboard by slapping on a turbo etc, you will loose so much value on the car, you will be kicking your own head in. you have no money anyway so you have this valuable time to think about what you want to do. you are an student, do what they do best.....STUDY!!!!!
and for beating commys and falcons......stuff em, they are big bold cars, they carry no statement, except for some, but not the typical base model 6, and they are always someone faster then you.
take it easy, safe driving:)
