#10 of 17 Some cars just look better modified. by eyyop Mar 14, 2007 (9:04 am)
Take a look at the Mazda RX-8 vs the Mazdaspeed RX-8 http://www.newstreet.it/img/auto/listino/max/MAZDA_RX-8_2003.jpg>   http://tanakatire.web.infoseek.co.jp/505/MAZDASPEED_RX8.jpg>
#11 of 17 More Customized than Modded by ateixeira Mar 26, 2007 (11:56 am)
I have just about every OE accessory in the book. Though mine is more customized, as the engine was kept stock.   Why? Add utility. Why not? It can do more tasks.

Replying to: paisan (Feb 10, 2007 7:40 pm) I modify usually for performance . Usually suspension and brakes first, and then power later on. If your car can't handle and stop, no point in adding power. Replies to this message: paisan (Dec 29, 2007 7:50 pm)

Replying to: applecore323 (Dec 28, 2007 7:35 am) Same here. Brakes, Tires, Suspension first. Then power later on. If you can carry speed through turns you need to slow down less and therefore will be overall faster w/o extra power.   -mike
#16 of 17 Why do I modify cars? by andysautosport Feb 05, 2008 (10:42 am)
Although I agree that car engineers have put a lot of time and thought into the design of the vehicle, but I like to make things better.

Replying to: 1000rwhp (Feb 10, 2007 9:03 am) Modifying a car is like burning money. As far as an investment is concerned, it is about as dumb as it gets.   BUT, they never stopped me - lol   I go for power....I generally prefer the "go fast" over the "looks fast" mods. For me it is about making something mine and I enjoy the engineering aspects of it. I approached my current modded car with a plan. I think a lot of people just throw things at a car w/o thinking or because they heard something works.
