    Mod 1: Muffler delete, it improves the sound (may not work for all cars).
    Mod 2: Sway bars, connects the suspension of the wheels and improves handling.
    Mod 3: Short throw shifter, it reduces the motion of shifting gears.
    Mod 4: LED light bulb headlights, it may make the light bluer like xenon headlights and increase the light output to make it look nicer during night.
    Mod 5: Pod filter, may increase performance or decrease but mainly makes it sound nicer.

    • @aznnp77
      @aznnp77 2 роки тому +119

      Mod 1: Muffler Delete. You'll get tickets for that where I live. And the sound will be raspy. And you won't pass your emissions test.
      Mod 4: LED/Xenon/Hyper White bulbs. I've probably had like 5 pairs of these in my life. Longest lasting pair I ever had for 8 months. Most of them died around the 4-6 month mark. So I never bought them again. I put back in my Honda oem bulbs and they lasted 5 years!
      Mod 2: I agree. Sway bar makes a big difference. Especially if you can get a used one from a compatible car instead of spending $200-300 on a Progress or Eibach or whatever brand.

    Most important modification to do to your car is fixing every problem the car has the moment you get it. I know some may be hard and not fun or interesting to fix, but especially mods that increase power or power deliverance will cause strain, and if you dont fix problems that also affect the points you are modifying, you're asking for problems. So please fix you're current things that dont work, and then add on the car 👌

    As a fellow car guy and Toyota mechanic, I 100% agree with this list. One thing that would add about pod filters is that they make your turbo sound soo much better(if you have one). Another cheap mod you can do to really change the feel of your car is to lighten it, and get rid of all the heavy stuff. You can get rid of 60ish kg pretty easy and the difference is like night and day(unless your car is naturally really heavy)

    TBH before a pod filter, consider an aftermarket drop in filter (as in one that uses the stock airbox). Super easy to install, no AFR fuckery and you'll get anywhere from a tiny to surprisingly decent power increase - they're also cheaper on average.

      Very true, it's also killing two birds with one stone if you just bought the car used! I got my 328i used at 110k miles, it's an 07 so it's been around for awhile. I got a K&N drop in filter for it and when I opened the stock air box to put it in it looked like it had never been cleaned once and the filter was from 2011! Safe to say the car practically felt like it woke up once the box was cleaned with a fresh drop in filter.

    hey Rex, thanks for the video!!!
    I recently got myself a 'Nissan ex saloon' probably between 2004-2009 I'll have to check.
    I have to fix a lot of things, and your videos are really helping me out!!!
    Today i cleaned the whole engine, currently waiting for it dry so i can put the battery in and start it!!!
    Thanks for the tips!
    btw, window tints and some nice rain caps are also some cool starter customizations.

    Im gonna be honest, I also "deleted" the muffler of my first car. But with time I learned that best doesn't mean louder, you can change the muffler with one that enhances the sound of your car without bothering people that just don't like loud noises. Also, research if you can legally do it where you live because otherwise the fine will be the same or bigger than the cost of a better muffler.

    Just one thing if you're going to change out your headlights, You have to replace the housing For the lights because in some places it's actually illegal to put LED's In halogen light bulb housings Because they're not built for led's. Plus changing the housing out to housing that's made for LED's can make them look so much better, And function 2 to 3 times better because they will work properly.

    Most cars have resonators and deleting the muffler can make a very good sound without being ridiculously loud. I’ve done it on a few of my cars, and some of those mufflers are heavy as heck so that’s just increased performance just like that. Intakes especially on Toyotas usually decrease performance and not for the reasons you think. It comes down to how the maf reads the intake flow and a larger diameter or smoother intake will reduce the velocity of the air and most factory intakes have baffles that direct the air properly to the maf. I wish I never installed an intake on my mr2 spyder because it definitely is slower and makes an obnoxiously loud sound while starting up. I didn’t even get into how much power you are wasting by increasing intake temperatures since most factory intakes have some sort of way to get cold air from outside the engine bay and most aftermarket intakes that aren’t cold air intakes are sucking in 200 degree engine bay air. This isn’t even mentioning turbocharged card that 1 run even more hot and 2 changing the air fuel ratios will cause the car to run lean with an intake and exhaust without a tune and will likely blow the engine. I’m all for modified cars as mine are probably more modified than most out there but please do your research and do it right. I’ve learned through my experiences some modifications you want to do with some cars and some you don’t and you never want a hot ram intake. Never.

    @niceboi6364 Рік тому +1

    When I got my very first car it was someone else's beater: a 2005 Nissan Almera Sport N16. I loved the design of it and where I'm from there's lots of spare mechanical parts but collision parts are a nightmare to get.
    Anyways: even though it had ABS (something my country didn't require as of 2017) the tires were a nightmare, the suspension was shot, the brakes were shit but the rest of the car was just fine. Engine and transmission were okayish, the interior might have been dirty and a bit neglected but it was kinda nice overall.
    So, the very first thing I did was to buy tires. People overlook tires a lot but to be honest it is the bestest mod you can do to any car you want, it doesn't matter if it's your track toy or your daily driver or both. A nice set of tires (mine were Michelin Primacy 4, nothing too crazy) and I was the first one in my entire family to use "a lot of money" in something that they considered not worth it. So, with the right specs I just got out of it many benefits, better braking time, better fuel economy, the car looked cleaner and nicer, cornering grip wasn't scary anymore, I could drive relatively high speeds in rainy conditions and all of it just with a simple set of tires. Those tires had saved me big-time many times from absurdly stupid collisions even today. Sadly my dear Almera passed away when I totaled him while I had a medical condition during traffic. I almost died that July 20th, 2019 but I managed to avoid my demise thanks to a nice set of tires worth a month and a half salary. He, my Almera, was my best buddy and made me happy during the worst times of my life. And his tires now live on in my 2006 Nissan Sentra B15 and their grip is almost as good as the first day I bought them.
    I hope that one day I can get the same model just for the good times I had in it. My first touge run, my first therapy drive at night, the first car where I did my first road trip alone... And if I ever get one I'll swap the engine for a 2J Racing fully built QR25DE lol. Amen.

      Just make sure to do an inspection on it when you get older, and try to figure out what's wrong with it. If he hasn't tried to fix it, and is willing to sell it to you in 5 years, it could possibly be a really hard problem to work on.
      Find a friend who knows a lot about cars, and have them look at it for you. Mustang's are cool, and I am jealous of your luck, but a broken Mustang wont get you anywhere. Good luck!
