First Mod You Ever Did

[cmkelly]

So what's the first mod you ever did to a car?

Mine was to a Renault R12 P.O.S. It was my buddies car and we cut a hole in the hood to make a forced air induction hood scoop.

We cut a big coffee can in half and used the metal as a frame for the bondo scoop. Then we took a vacuum cleaner hose and and wire mesh (to keep the leaves out) and mated the hole up to the carb. It worked as well as you'd expect a coffee can, bondo, vacuum cleaner hose hood scoop to work.

First mod to the S13 was new tail lights. zerothread?id=191094

My first mod to the s13 was a short shifter. Best mod ever.

First mod to any car? Must've been my first firebird. Removed the intake box and clamped a cone filter to the maf.

[whoflungpoo]

first mod ever was 17" ADR GT sports on my civic hatchback.

first vert mod was stripping down the interior and swapping the motor.

[Loki]

Swapping in new seats and tail lights. Pretty tame, I know.

[Hijacker]

I don't think I ever modified any of my old cars.

First mod to the 240 was putting a set of KYB AGX dampers on it. I ran like that for a few months before I put lowering springs on the car

[biggie]

Speakers in my first car ('86 FC NA).

[Roadkillracers]

On my first car- Swapped out a stock four barrel Rochester for a bigger CFM Carter on my 1978 Pontiac Sunbird Formula! Oooooo it was Beige.First mod ever- ever (I think I was 11?) was a new Carb on my dads Chevrolet Vega coupe and yes it had the legendary Aluminum block! (for those under 30 legendary means, GM mega disaster)

[DeXteR]

pfft... i can't even remember.

on the vert it was a 3" catback.

Can you say "Warp-age" I knew you could. The Cogworths were cool though.

Firts mod i did was on a Dodge stratus( yes i said dodge stratus!!) and it was the air intake. at the time there was not alot of aftermarket stuff for a strat so a guy at the stratus forums custom made some and i got it from him. that car is what got me into working on my own car. it took me a long time but i got that car looking decent. I had just started on the whole modding cars thing and since i couldn't afford to get a new car i just worked with what i had. that car was all looks and hardly any power but it was fun to drive around. here's the end result of 2 years of custom work and hard work[IMG]

My dad bought me an Alpine head unit and speakers for Christmas. That was my first mod.

Other than that, my vert is still stock. It'll stay that way until I get a new daily driver.

Most of the stuff I've done is just maintenance-related issues.

[ishkabibble]

Put polished EMPI wheels on my vintage VW bug and slammed it.

I think the first "mod" to the vert was NGK blue ignition wires (previous owner had non-OEM stuff on there).

[BMAR240SX]

I would say a freshner, headunit, tailights,hatch, 91 bumper, and last was my intake

[jamesblonde82]

i had an 86' stang GT that i thought was purdy cool. had the pull out knee support seats and console that showed a headlight was out tailights all that stuff and the dash looked like a cockpit and lit up red. me and my bro-in-law took out the 5.0L and put in a 5.8L....i miss it but i lurv my vert too. first vert mod was the strut tower bar.

[Silvia_Drift]

My first car was an 89 240sx coupe. The first mod I did was a carbon fibre hood because my friend jumped on the stock hood a few times when he was drunk and dented the **** outta it lol. The first mod on my vert were Tein Flex coilovers.

[alternate]

A new in-line fuel pump into my 1977 280Z

[-RJ-]

5 lug on my vert



i got the 300zx rims on it and painted it gold

[Z Style]

pfft... i can't even remember.

on the vert it was a 3" catback.

Lame.

I put 16" Primax wheels and Toyo Proxes FZ4s on my 1991 Celica GT, some of the following mods were really bad. At the end I dericed the car though.

On my S13 coupe (first 240sx and Nissan) I put on some JDM JIC Magic coilovers.

[June-Law]

my first mod to my car was to put a APC windshield banner on it!!!cool uh>?

[Eikon]

my first mod to my car was to put a APC windshield banner on it!!!cool uh>?

That's awesome!!! A ricer confession, lol.

My first mod was similar... I had a 02 Sentra Spec V. I took off the front grill, removed the ugly Nissan Hamburger logo and painted it chrome and then added a SE-R logo to it.

My first mod to my 'vert.. installation of a RB20det motor.

[SumoBrian]

dont know if this is a mod but i turned the boost all the way up on my 90 gsx and blew the motor haha.

I still to this day miss that car.

[cmkelly]

We all remember the first engine we ever killed. Mine was a 1972 VW bug which I drove to it s death with a 16-year-old Ms. Young in the front seat. "What do you mean the engine's dead?" "We were only going 140 kph on the autobahn......"

I miss that car.....

[ishkabibble]

Surprising. Bug engines were actually designed to be run like that.

[Tom@Spoolupracing]

5spd swap + exhaust + clutch/flywheel + coilovers + tie rods w/ spacers all in the first day of owning my vert, the next day was a drift event

[sil_eighty86]

99 zrx 1100 (I know its a bike) Changed to individual k&n filters and rejeted the carbs. My dad was doing r&d for a company and we switched back about 3 different times.
