For or Against... Modifying your vehicle

[al_motor]

for me..ang pinaka pinapangarap kong MOD is the driver.

i wanna mod my driving skills by enrolling myself to racing schools.
w
ala lang..it's been a dream pero walang pera para doon.maybe soon pag nakaipon at may extra.
for cars, i like cars that are performing very good na out of the box with only little mods to suite my taste. (attainable cars that are powerful enough as is: evo's...scoobies....etc.)

i am happy that you're one of those people with a properly-tuned MIND. modify the driver and any car will instantly be better performing.

well for your benefit and others...(well i dunno if u've already done this though, for i have an impression that you are a very educated fellow...oh, you're a mod. no wonder.):

race/perf driving school is not as expensive as you might think. Php4000 (not sure if still the same now) at SRA/SVI. one on one with Jedi master Kookie Ramirez, and your choice (i think) of his car or yours. i'd recommend driving your own car. VERY WELL WORTH ENROLLING YOURSELF INTO! last i tried, u could do as many laps as you can within the day, after having been taught basic techniques, principles, etc.. learn basic performance driving techniques like steering without using the steering wheel (at least without full exertion on the steering wheel) and proper braking.

if you love driving, then you owe it to yourself to enrol in this course.

i miss the track.

para sa akin no mods... if meron man siguro parang mags lang or paint job.. pero internally wala... maganda yung stock lang siya

al motor..ive been with sir kookie and mike black (top gear editor in chief) sa mga track days here in the phil..

naiinggit ako sobra sa mga tinuruan niyang mga kasmaa ko sa nissanbayan.

i think sir kookie was offering us a "weekend" lesson on driving.it's cheap nga talaga but the problem was, i didn't have the "right car" for track use. i have an suv kasi.

but now, i am reconsidering that "modification" again since i got myself a sedan that can be used in the track. ill be modifying a bit my suspension and breaks first..then....ipon for gas..then track na!!woohooo...*sniff* i miss the scent of gas and tires....and...aaahhh..the track,

GlennSter,

I hope u don't mind a bit of OT just this once.

We might have seen each other on the track, as per your sitch's description. however don't think i've had the privilege of actually meeting you.
hahaha! i remember mike black back in the "nefarious echo" days.
met him at the motorshow then sa track na after.

my then weapon was a white panda EF packing a B16A with LSD tranny... but now like you im also in a fix, i drive a minivan.

when funds permit, i might consider buying an LEC or 1989 XL and mod it away. there's a legendary LEC allegedly selling for a very low five-digit price. the catch (and what a CATCH it indeed is!) is that there is a big void...ehem...to be filled in the engine bay.

now, that's a track car waiting to happen. if by chance i do find that transplant patient...well guess what happens next. hahaha!

the mods can wait...even a stock car is okay to train with. by understanding the stock characteristics of the car, and your inherent driving style, you'll know what mods to match those with afterwards. now go and enroll!!! haha!

[GlennSter]

i dont mind..herherherher

gotta fix this damn thing first...i believe it'll cost me the enrollment payment....and more.im emitting white smoke.tsktsktsk.

hope to meet you (again?) soon =)

depends on how well do you know what you are modifying. kasi para sa akin more mods= more headaches in the future.

but my car is modified :D

[baurtwellXUV]

engine = stock.. ayaw kong galawin.. mahirap na...
interior = modified
exterior = modified...

[Tacoma_34]

of course dude, upgrade is good.

though i have nothing against those who mod their cars in and out, i prefer to keep mine in stock form. mods in or out, requires a higher budget for maintenance that i cannot afford.

Modzzz!!!!
