Mods on euro....

[Faiz]

hey all, i know absolutly nothing about cars...i would like to make modifications to my euro, so it can gain a bit of power.....Next time i bloody see those Xr6 and holdens ill show them . So yea.....where do i start, pros and cons anyone of modding? Is it very expensive...No turbo or super charging. The mods shouldnt reck the car basically, just there to gain more power... so any advice or leave it the same. Btw mines an auto..

Buy a WRX, really. It is designed to beat Holden's and Ford's and you'll have more fun in that than the Euro...

i've got an accord euro in the family. i dont think you need a rexy to beat fords or holdens.

i get p plater commodore hoons rev @ me (p plater in accord) at the lights all the time.
And i dont do anything, coz its such a quiet car, i just wait till its green and floor it, the euros go hard, i woudlnt underestimate em, i've taken 6cyl's with ease, not even to redline.

As for mods dude, the usual you know, cold air intake, exhaust, extractors, the basic mods of NA, and you cant ask for cheap mods. mods are mods, most are expensive, and some are really expensive, lol. performance costs $$$!

It really depends on what Ford or Holden we are talking about.
The only Ford or Holdens the Euro could probably compete with in performance would be base model V6 Commodore and Falcons.
Anything other than that would probably be too powerful.
If you are next to XR6T or Commodore SS, don't even bother and save your petrol.

Faiz - aren't you the chap who had the Euro purchased for you by your dad and you are still on your L (learner) plates?

If so - don't mod the car yet please. Get some experience under your belt (at least wait until you are half way through your Ps!!!).

Be able to drive the car safely before you think about modding a car.....

First of all...your modding auto??? Mods are good for power but not really sensible from a financial point of view, your just building depreciation into your car; when you sell it, you basically lose what you paid for the mods and installation on top of your depreciation.. very painful..

[Faiz]

that just sucks doesnt it. And what you mean buy a wrx????Im a made of money. If mods are expensive than no thanx.. Ill just have to wait 10 mores for a fast car than aye when i get the money. Those new skylines which arent out even in japan sound awesome...its said to have 8 speed manual.....Thats just unbeliveable...

I think about that sometimes, but I really enjoy my driving. I will be doing the basics to my car, ie: mags, coilovers, bodykit, exhaust, intake. This is about $6k - $7k worth of mods for me. Is it worth it? To me, definately yes. I would be satisfied with lowered and mags but I can afford more, so why not?

I am a huge believer in if you are going to modify your car, get a car worthy of modification in the first place. Example. Don't get a lancer and put a turbo, kit, mags, ect... when you could and should have got a WRX in the first place.

I believe the Euro is a fantastic car and lends itself really well to modification.

To me it is all about getting the car to where I think it should have come from the factory. And better still, it would be individual.

I won't be selling my car for a a long while (anything can happen, EURO-R?), so depreciation isn't a factor for me.

Just like fitting a better stereo in your car, although I think the standard system is more than adequate, it is nothing compared to a custom install.
