What Should I Modify?

The Kid · 12-19-2015, 04:27 AM

Hey guys,

I'm loving my car, but I'm kind of stuck with what I can do with it considering it's damn-near fully loaded.

What ideas, if any, do you have for mods?

SteveC · 12-19-2015, 04:51 AM

A nice smelly thing hanging from the rearview?

No wait! The leather smells better

Not a big fan of modding, as you can tell. I personally prefer a well spec'd factory car, which it seems you have

Yea. Hang dice

Speed808Ix · 12-19-2015, 09:07 AM

are you looking for visual mods or performance mods?

Honestly, both. I have some performance mods looking to see what else I can do.

Mine was a gift from a friend but you can get it from escort directly, cartoys, or even Best Buy.

You can also get it here and have them install the display in your mirror which is what I did. www.radar-mirror.com

Personally, I would recommend getting the BelSTIR Plus which is a stronger radar system than escort and add the ALP laser jammer which is the best out there right now.

It's an easy install if you are comfortable working on your car.

Cartoys did my install but I ended up having to redo it. I can walk you through it. It's very easy.

13M5F10 · 12-19-2015, 09:47 AM

This is a great shot showing my radar in the right kidney and the shifters hanging in the grill. Bumper was getting fixed.

My controller near start/stop and display inside my mirror

Take a look at the Engine Bay. Also the tips and the drop. Right after delivery, I was psyched. Got it last night.

LOL you modded your car pretty good so far.

M Perf Mirrors
M Perf Spoiler
RKP FRONT LIP
CHALLENGE CF CENTER DIFFUSER
Ditch the Dinan Tune and get yourself a custom tune
Wheels
Side Skirts

If you want to go crazy
Pure Stage I turbos
Clutch Packs
Meth
Charge Pipes

Thats about it.

I was thinking about the mirrors and spoilers but I'm waiting for the spring first.The charge pipes, downpipes, and turbos I'm thinking about. Just which ones and where to put it in.

The Kid · 12-19-2015, 10:41 AM

Any other ideas?

Downpipes are all the same IMO .. Undercover makes a good high quality set and RPI and can be had for around 1000-1200. Don't pay for than that.

Turbos, I believe PURE is the only one selling an upgraded set for our cars. They have the Stage 1

You can get the cosmetics from IND. a bit pricey but your getting high quality stuff.

MSR sells a nice set of charge pipes for the F10.

Oh damn. That's crazy. And I wonder how much WHP I'd produce if I upgraded the turbos... How much are you at now?

Without a tune I don't think upgrading turbos will benefit you at all. I may be wrong but you'll still be at the target boost levels

Speed808Ix · 12-19-2015, 12:28 PM

Save the money on MSR and the other HIGH END Charge pipe setup.

Burger Motor Sport (BMS) came out with some for $229.00.
