Post your first modded car!

[dimsumboy]

my first modded car was a 1990 eagle talon tsi awd. sorry no pics since it was about 18-19 years ago. mods... if i remember correctly... eibach springs, suspension techniques sway bars, started with a hks exhaust (sounded crappy back then) so did a custom exhaust with a 2 chamber flowmaster and it sounded much better, hks power flow adapter, can't remember which turbo we went with but it wasn't the stock td05h if i remember right, boost controller (1st one was a thing called a boost graphic it had neat little sliders for different rpms, but didn't work out well so went with a hks evc), hks turbo timer, vented and slotted rotors can't remember which brand, ecu was reprogramed but can't remember who did it, head was ported and polished, i can't remember if we did anything to the intake manifold or turbo manifold but i think we did some stuff there too, not sure but i think it may have had different cams as well, underdrive pulleys, lightweight flywheel, centerforce dual friction clutch, upgraded fuel pump and lines and injectors, cat delete, upgraded all the bushings but i forget which brand it was, c's short throw shifter back in the day they were really great, top of the line clarion pro audio head unit, two 1st gen kicker solo 12's best of the solobaric line ever, clarion 6 1/2 coax's in rear, i think it was either mb quarts or boston pro components in the front, ppi art series a404 and a600 for amps, parallel extra battery in hatch and i think it was an interstate battery, there may have been one or two caps in there but can't remember, all the wiring and blocks and fuse holders were streetwires and monster cable. i probably missed a whole bunch of things, but you get the basic idea. most memorable things was killing a firebird firehawk 6 sp 315hp car with this 4 banger and keeping up with stock 300tt's in it too. the solo 12's hit so hard... i remember my friends telling me the windows, blinds, and even the spoons in coffee cups would shake when i was several hundred feet away from the waffle house. was really a fun car back then and i miss it as well.

repped for making me lirl

[SoLJames95]

I have come along way. This car was a money pit, but I do miss it, this was my gateway to the import scene.





AND FOR THE MONEY SHOT!!!!!

Oh those were the days.

[jhadleyh]

^^^atleast it was turboed

[thegovanator]

SOOOOO many gauges

[SoLJames95]

SOOOOO many gauges

And they all served a purpose...

You know you have the ones you need andthen you have the ones that tell cabin pressure, danger to manifold gauge and one that tells me what my altitude is at.... I kid I kid.

But they all worked, just wanted to know what was going on at all times.

[thegovanator]

Haha gotcha

[SoLJames95]

^^^atleast it was turboed

Yes very quick, I was sportin the T25bb, and also rockin Gram lights that went to Bucky! I didnt know if anyone was going to catch on to that, he repainted them with a pearl.

[jhadleyh]

haha damn i just noticed that

[dimsumboy]

he said pictures not stories

sorry kid, but 18-19 years ago is a long time to keep up with pics from a polaroid or a 35mm camera. i probably still have some somewhere but i don't feel like looking for them. so i figured i'd share what i remember.

[driftyboy]

Actually found a few pics on evolutionm.net of my first car, took these pics way before I did anything serious, but here ya go:





Wish I had pics when I sold it, though.

[dimsumboy]

let me scan the old geo storm lol, no really i had one.

actually, back when those first came out, they looked really nice. not very fast, but nice looking and great gas mileage.

[Homer Simpson]

i miss my hatch!







Sold it 1 month after a freshly swapped b18c from hmotors!

[dimsumboy]

i'll see if i can find them but i've moved 5 times since i had that car, so i think they're probably in storage at my parents house. i guess i'll have to go visit sometime soon.

[jhadleyh]

cool no rush man im sure b4 long you will be addicted to IA like the rest of us and you will get around to it

[marcos713]

look at that WHEEL GAP.


i was 16. fuck you.

right there with you lol, except mines was an eclipse..


only mods were basically short ram intake and the wheels. learned how to drive stick in this car and raced my 1st times in this car even though it was slow as shit lol

[slostang]

this isnt MY car but i had a 94 buick lesabre like this one. only mod was a 3000 watt system. i got the car for free when i was 15. haha.



and it would do some MEAN neautral drop burnouts...

[DeeAOne]

93 accord ex with an lx swap (yeah wtf right? lol) slammed out on ebays with a weld on muffler. and dont forget the amber corners! hehe



how low it used to be..





i sold her for $400 because she broke an axle.

[13Bracer]

my old prelude....damn i miss this car..

[EP3sAreFun]

lol its funny.... you can see someone's first car and immediately you know how old they are.



and no, nothing on that civic was fast, but i'm making up for it now with 400 lb of tqe in my Strar-Quest

[quickdodge®]

My first modded car was in 1986. 23 years ago. My Mom bought my sister and I a 1980 Datsun 210 SW. I took that car a few months later and shaved all 4 door handles off, took the springs completely out and spray-painted it candy-apple, metal-flake blue. It also had baby turbo mirrors mounted high up on the A-pillar and the very first set of 5-star hubcaps in the state. In that pic, I had a rear quarter window busted out. The inside featured a splash paint theme where it looked like it was dripping paint down the doors of the car. I was one of the first in the state to have a truly slammed car as mini-truckin' was really the thing then. So I did all the mini-truckin' mods to my car. Later, QD.

[EM1toEVO]

Here was my first modded ride. I was into stereos in all my previous cars.

[EKSedan97]

Here is my first one. 92 LS and it is greatly missed.

I knew your post was going to be real old school! :boobies:

[neon_ert3]

heres my first car. 2000 neon on air! i wish i still had it

[WFOdime]

My dad gave me this car cause it was abandoned at his shop, I was going to get the title but a pawn shop had it. So instead I spray painted it, and jumped it.

[Brian*]

Ok, don't laugh... It was the year 2000 and before "Fast & the Ferious" came out lol

Anyway, my 1991 Integra...

[G'd[UP]]

Heres my first car. =)



I know I know!!!

[DVSRX-7]

my first real car, with real mods, not used parts, everything was bought or rebuilt to brand new condition..

[AltimaCharlie]

I did have some wide 15" chrome wheels on my mighty max in high school, but this was the first car i really modded. funny thing this is a current picture. I blew the motor a few years ago, and just recently put a 2000 KA in it and now my wife drives it. i couldn't junk it, i did a full black katskin leather kit in it right before i hydrolocked it! She is tearing it up with the 5-speed, she didnt want to learn and now wouldn't ever go back. Stock engine now but paint and some body mods soon. For years it was 4x4 with Niche Twister wheels 17", remember those? i only have film pics of that set-up

[SandM]

well, i was in the hayday of the ricer days, but never put any into my car (not that I wasn't into it back in the day)
2002 Mitsubishi Lancer ES
