What's under your hood?

Alright fellas! and ladies!

Please list your current upgrades that you’ve done to your vehicle. Also be kind enough to state reason why you did those upgrade. “Eye candy” is a reason enough as well. Don’t be embarrassed to say you just liked the look of it. :smiley:

Re: What’s under your hood?

Really? No takers?

Doesn’t anyone upgrade their rides anymore? :hinna:

Re: What’s under your hood?

don’t know how far this thread will go but I have a 2.0T VW chipped for 250HP/300TQ (low end torque at that too). I love it! The car has a great balance of performance and luxuary!

Other than that, I haven’t modified it much. I prefer the OEM look.

Re: What’s under your hood?

I once had a 4-AGE 2000cc Petrol Engine with output of 163 bhp installed in a Corolla 2001 Indus shape. There were other small goodies too with it but they are common in modding now, muffler, exhausts etc.

The engine was used around 20,000 km when i bought it from Peshawar.

The car cost me around 6,85,000 Rs with everything.

The car became a monster. it gave 0-80 km/hr in shift of 1st to 2nd gear, and ran upto 120km/hr in shift of 2nd to 3rd gear.

I used it for drag racing on streets.The biggest problem was braking in the car, the front brakes were disc and rear were Drum.

I really had fun overtaking local altis (1800cc) and Civic (1800cc) on highways. The car had killer acceleration with almost 7.3 secs to reach 100km/hr in 2nd gear.

I wanted it for drag racing at first but found too many betting problems linked with it, and sold the car.

Re: What’s under your hood?

we need to get a new vehicle altogether. :frowning:

Re: What’s under your hood?

What kind of car are you looking for?

Re: What’s under your hood?

^five door…price between £15,000 to 25,000 and something out of this world.

Re: What’s under your hood?

no need to upgrade…:slight_smile:

Re: What’s under your hood?

five door as in hatch (not a trunk?). How about Subaru Impreza, if you want lots of power, go for the WRX!

Re: What’s under your hood?

^the hatchback. me and husband both like the VW Scirocco but haven’t made up the mind yet. What do you think of it?

Re: What’s under your hood?

I have a vdub (GTI)! we’re not getting the new Scirocco here in North America otherwise I would have purchased that instead.

The Scirocco is 2 doors though, and the rear seats probably can’t accommodate a full size adult.

Re: What’s under your hood?

i at last got my license :hooray: and i think that counts as an upgrade.
now all i need to do is to get insurance and buy some second-hand car. :party:
