The best mod/upgrade for your car is this!!!!-->

KNOWLEDGE.

Be a sensible and knowledgeable vehicle owner.
Before you mod your vehicle, know how to maintain it. I'm amazed to see how many car/SUV/truck owners are clueless about using the most basic and fundamental part of their vehicle:the owner's manual. It has the info needed to keep your vehicle in a safe and operational condition. What good is it to have a turbocharger, supercharger, NOS(NAWZZZ for those who prefer slang....) a CAI, header, cat-back, lowering springs, aero kits and graphics and who knows what other mods if the vehicle isn't even tuned and running properly? So before you buy any mod or do anything to your ride, learn your ride. Read the owner's manual; see what gap the spark plugs should be set at(both platinum and copper); see where to access and check the levels of the fluids like your brake fluid, transmission fluid, coolant and oil(and while your at it, make sure you're using the right weight of oil, the right kind of brake/tranny fluid, etc........huh, what's that? You say that you don't have an owner's manual? WELL FIND ONE THEN.... ) Hey, if you feel unsure about doing something yourself, fine. But still try to learn about it anyway so if and when you do take your ride to the shop or mechanic you can show them that you have some knowledge about what's wrong, what needs to be fixed and what it does and doesn't take to fix it.

Just remember; your vehicle(s) will be one of the biggest and costliest investments in your life, if you can't make a little time to learn about how to keep it in top shape, don't whine and cry everytime the mechanic gives you an outrageous bill to do the most basic things.......

..........just sell it and take the bus or use some other method of transportation.

AND, now for my soon to patened tag line that all my friends know me by...

Rob's Law of Moditivity : THOU SHALT NOT MOD THAT WHICH THY CANNOT MAINTAIN

[redline]

I thought it was muffler bearings?

[Boosted_TL]

Since when did modifying car's and the bible merge?

[g20powa]

since i got sick of people with zero knowledge modding their cars and coming crying to me when things go wrong..... i cant stand it.

They dont even know if they have a god damn owners manual. Like honestly... at least know the spacing for your sparks.... most people dont even know what size tires they are on... Why the hell do you need an intake exhaust and headers if you dont even know what psi your tires should be at???

Know your vehicle before you mod it... otherwise people like me are gonna make some damn good cash off of your lack of knowledge

have a nice day.

and you seem like a prejudgemental arrogant piece of trash... so i guess we call it even.

and why should this be closed???? its talking about performance upgrading... thats what the forum is for.

my thread is saying dont do it unless you know what you are doing and know about how it and your vehicle works.

[arian_ma]

I don't think this would stop anyone...
If it did we'd make a thread saying "Stop putting giant wings on your neon" and we'd be good to go

[g20powa]

meh.... probablly wont stop a lot of people. But it pays to know your vehicle... its cheaper for you and its fun to learn about it.

But hey whatever... if people like getting ripped off at the $tealerships thats fine with me

I'd contend with you that a wife would be more of a costly investment then any car

The best mod/upgrade for my car is actually a boost controller. But hey, to each their own.

read the other responses, and see who they agree with.

me, or you?

Thought so.




1) This isnt a performance upgrade or mod
2) Every car comes with one, therefore enforcing #1
3) I expect most people you know arent on this forum
4) I bet all of us here have read our manuals (the regulars)
5) stupid thread - Enforced by numbers one through four.

thats nice... dont post in it then... i dont see moderator anywhere near your name... therefore you have no reason to HAVE to post in it.


And amen to the wife being the biggest investment. hahaha. thats awesome.

[LilDrunkenSmurf]

thats informative... but.. anyone who doesn't already know that here, gets flamed... post it on nexopia or something

[Tha VZA]

basically bringing a car to stage 0...seemed like a given to me...

but i have met some beyonders...and IMO...some do not know how to mod cars...they know how to say what model number of part they bought, and how much it cost for *insert local tuner shop* to install it...but that's it

i'll probably get flamed for this post...but to me knowing how to mod a car is DIY tuning/modding, with not everything being avalible from a catalogue...you know...imrovising on things etc.

just my thoughts, and i dont you dont care...

ciao

This thread is literally useless and this venting stuff has been discussed since the dawn of APC's first sale.
