[samsoong]

hey people.. i err wanna make me lil wira look nicer.. :P
i wanted to change my rims.. but my dad MADE ME NOT TO..
so i guess its a no no for me..

Is there anything else i can do to my car.. u know like REAL simple ones..
example.. i have this thing in mind.. which is FOG LIGHT.... err recommended?

well, if u still depending on your parents on the mods... and they are strictly against any types of modification on your ride... than there's basically nothing we can discuss about...

well, for starters... you can save up some cash and buy some air refresher for your ride... (i did that when my parents bought me my first car) haha.. then you can fork out some cash here and there and get some add on cosmetics... if you're an interior kinda guy.. then start of by some replica steering wheels??... well, utterly it all depends to you on what you want for your ride... CheerZ and happy modding...

samsoong, tell ur parents, by changing ur rims from stock to say, a 15 inch aftermarket wheels, handling, braking, basically grip is improved, must emphasise this > SAFETY in driving is improved...heehheheheheeheheh then u may be able to get ur way....

get lenso axis maglite ! make sure is 15" for ur car ! kautim :)

 

[PocketRocket]

he mentioned he cant get rims edi lorr....

dude samsoong, scrap the 'low budget' in ur mind and save money.
later when u have about 8-10k, dump in a 1.8 gsr turbo. worth every penny i'd say..now that i've spent more than double of the said amount, my engine still stock and i'm still disappointed. dont be like me.

 

[m@ttz]

hehehe.. it same like my fren, his father's said DON'T TOUCH ANYTHING!!! so, wat to do, keep own money, buy other car urself later n mod it la..

hehe ......he can try that but I don't give much hope to his chances of convincing his parents. His chances are even worse if the only reason for modding is to pimp his ride.

Parents, if they are not car enthusiasts themselves, typically take a dim view of car mods. You tell them it will improve handling and braking, they will respond by telling you to drive slower LOL

Sad to say that if you are not yet financially independent to make your own decisions, then you are mostly sh*t out of luck.

Other than that, what tofu_manic told you is true (with good rims and tyres). Good luck man

Just a personal honest opinion .. If you plan to go for bodykits, Dont do it!!! .. Yet. Since you said u're not allowed to change the rims, best you dont change your bodykit yet in case your wira look like those ahbeng wiras I sometimes see around that still has stock 13" rims, loud straight-flow exhaust and big front very-"ganas" looking bumper.. LAME.

What are you looking for, comfort or performance ? Better learn to love your Wira man.. Since you're gonna be seeing your Wira daily for now, not a Waja.

hmmmmm......better dont mod if u dont have the $$ and the experience and the "permission".....headache.....

BUT.....U might just change to OPEN POD and replace with a aftermarket pipings....Prepare RM1000 for a decent set.....

When u got more money to spare, change ur sparkplugs to Splitfire or Autolite, then upgrade to Pro-Ralleye Spark Cables.... Prepare another RM300 for these.....

Then you have a very "responsive" 4G15 compared to stock.....

Still, u have handling issues and braking issues to handle, if u ever poisoned to drive like a mad man.....hehe
