Any PERFORMANCE Mods to YOUR Car?

[GSKR]

Exhaust? Tune? Supercharger?

I think it`s safe to say that most of us here are car guys...errrr...or car gals...so does your obsession stop at paint care and detailing or are you a gear head as well?

I`ve been a car guy longer than I can remember, and when I purchased my 2016 Subaru WRX last August I didn`t waste any time researching various performance upgrades.

So far I have:

-ETS catless j-pipe (Subaru speak for a downpipe)
-ETS catback exhaust
-ETS cold air intake
-Grimmspeed boost control solenoid
-IAG TGV (tumbler generator valve) delete
-Process West Verticooler
-STI Group N transmission mount
-STI Group N pitch stop mount
-Perrin short shifter adapter
-Perrin brass shifter bushing
-Cobb Tuning AccessPort
-Custom tune from Bren Tuning in MA

Best of all, I've done all the work myself in my garage at home.

What have you done to your car, truck, or SUV? Feed back please

*Edit* - Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires.

I'm feeling a vibe from this question perhaps selling auto parts in the near future ?

-VRSF 3.5" exhaust
-VRSF downpipes
-Mishimoto FMIC
-Bimmerworld 1-off Aluminum Radiator
-ER Chargepipe with TIAL BOV

Then coils, wheels, studs, M3 control arms, short shifter, LCI rear end, LCI tails, etc, etc, etc.

-HP gain? Eh...maybe a couple (no biggie)
-Exhaust note? Play it loud!

Man that Stang is beautiful!! I had to force my mouth close so I would stop salivating!

 

[Kamakaz1961]

Ahh yes, car mods

My Genesis has;

modified exhaust
intake
bored out throttle body
throttle body spacer
ECU tune

It's good enough to be reliable and somewhat fast 305whp

It's Good enough and I bet it sounds real nice too! My cousins are starting to make some really cool cars!! Rock on!

 

[haris300]

Nice to see all these modified cars on here!

My 300zx is running on E85 with JWT 550BB turbos, Stillen intercoolers, upgraded fuel system, dual intakes with additional MAF, 3 inch exhaust, and plenty more. My Miata has a basic T2554 turbo setup on Megasquirt.
My F355 just has a Tubi exhaust but I just placed an order for some Fabspeed headers and cats

I have a base 2013 Camaro with the 3.6L V6. Being the sole provider for a family of 4 (with three disabled) money for mods is obviously tight. What I AM able to do though is build a custom Ram Air/Cold Air intake with ~$100 in parts: A K&N drop in filtercharger, 3" Spectre flex hose and a brake ducting intake scoop.

I'll be connecting the 3" hose to the stock air box and running it to an area behind the lower grill. There I'll attach the scoop behind the grill and connect the other end of the hose to the scoop.

I did this to my Suzuki and gained noticable throttle response at highway speeds and about 3-4 mpg.

Thanks! I kept spinning the rears whenever i tried to floor it from a stop, so i upgraded to 'fatter tires and now there is no wheel spin, just goes. The oem 245/ are not wide enough that's for sure for the 3.8L

Ha-ha not if I am still on my street tires! Spinning ain't winning!

[PA DETAILER]

Kept the XTERRA stock. I do have a AFE DRY FLOW air filter. All the benifits of a better air filter, and NO OIL. I would like to do a mild 2" lift maybe sometime in the future? A hypertech programmer would be nice also.
