Why Do You Mod/tune Your Car

[DaveEllen]

Recent posts where how much BHP car a has vs car b and is it at the wheels or flywheel has made me think (a feat in itself)

Why do we do it ?

I do it to be different in this increasingly prescribed world ..........

so many cars look the same..............

so beat this............since getting my licence in 1979 this is what I've done with approx numbers of similair cars........

1973 Avenger Tiger(Mk 1) 250 made

bought in 1979

1977 Datsun Cherry tuned by Janspeed from 45 bhp to 85bhp (? converted)Tuned it myself.............

1979 Mazda 323 (rwd) Janspeed turbo (only one & a bag of pooooooooh)

1989 Ginetta G26 appx 500 made

1996 Ginetta g27V8 appx 5 made (built it myself)

1999 Lexus IS200 s/c ........ NOS'd etc 1 only (polished it myseld)

I'm sure someone else has had more uniqe cars (cash burners)

Point being.............its not BHP its being one of a few.........or only one..........

PS Q cars are best

I must admit this is the first car i have done anything to... And thats only coz i joined this club...lol

I just saw some other bits on cars and think hmmm theres a idea. Nothing major just little bits to be different

Only car i have ever modded was a dutton phaeton kit car, stuck a mk1 mexico lump in it, it went like stink but was a bit naughty in the wet .

i started off with the modding escorts

then got married

then had children

then mortgages

then started again but only mildly

i then brought a vectra

thought my years were over

then came the lex :)

I already modded the 3 Pug 405 I have had, so do I for the Lex :)

I can't stand driving a standard car. I mostly like to change wheels for the biggest fitable on the car (better when dropped to the ground)
