Stock Cars: To modify or not to modify

given the money and opportunity, i would definitely go for mods.

aesthetically, same with M54, i'd go for body kit and rims lang. sa sound system oks na yung simple, siguro add lang ako ng mga subwoofers para mas enjoy sa soundtrip. but i wont go for anything with a lot of power. sa performance baka air intake and exhaust lang and maybe some suspension upgrades.

Sa akin, Rim and Tyres lang...maski kalalabas sa Casa...Di ko na iniintindi kung ma-void yung warranty dahil sa pagpalit.Mahirap magtiis ng 3 years kung di mo kursunada htsura ng oto mo dahil laging panakot yung warranty...

relatively light mods tapos stick ako to beautifying the interior. pati sounds na rin.

happy_gilmore: mejo madugo ata pag icoconvert ang pizza mo sa evo7 look kasi totally new body design na yung evo7 eh... evo6 siguro kaya pa

Aesthetic mods for more durable purposes, like Kim. :D

But if I ever had the chance to revert back all the mods, I like to keep it as stock.

kung ako, a little aesthetic mods lang para maiba sa ibang kotse..

tapos more on audio and interior..interior kasi ma-aapreciate mo talaga kasi nasa loob ka..nahahawakan, nakikita, nahihipo...ops! hihihi

engine mods, medyo ayaw ko..lumalakas sa gas e..hehehe

so, a little bit of everything.

pangarap kong magkaroon ng good suspension setup para sa pizza EL.

pero bago ibigay sa akin yung kotse kailangan kong gumaradweyt muna sa kolehiyo. 1st year pa lang ako.

for me, I can't keep my cars as it is. this has been the frustration of my wife. heck, i even moded her E36 and installed a turbo charger, an intercooler, ceramic coated the innards of the engine and installed an aftermarket fuel pressure regulator and an aftermarket brakes and exhaust system, hehehe!

i normally focus on performance related modifications rather than aesthetics. so my pajero and pick-up is now sort of in steroids hehehe!

Whenever I see a stock early or mid-90's car, maganda pa din tignan.

Usually kasi kapag modified na, madaling bumabaduy (the more fashionable you are, the more prone you are to being out of fashion).

And modifications can also decrease reliability and drivability. So make sure you know what you are doing.

Not necessarily. the mods i have done have in fact increased drivability and reliability. so i guess, as long as you are properly guided and that the intended improvement is achieved, it's worth the mod.

the only car i will leave as is, is the E30M3 since it is already perfect, at least from my perspective. this will make my wife really happy.
