Need some Car ideas. by wj on 12-06-2004 at 03:58 AM
I need some ideas for my car!
So, I'm working on my good Ol' Cop Car and I want your input!
What Mod/Add-on/Upgrade should I do to my car?
Heres the current stats on my car that I've upgraded/added-on:
Pioneer CD/WMA/MP3 200Watt Deck
760Watt Pioneer Amplifer
2 8" 300 Watt Sub-Woofers
Now, I've got the final part on order for my Car-puter!
7" Touch Screen, 1Ghz Athlon, 256mb Ram, 40gb HD, Geforce MX440 64mb, Sound Blaster Live 5.1, Tri-Wireless (3 Wi-Fi Cards).
It will play Music through the car's sound system, Video, GPS, Rear View Camera.
Now, What should I do next? I dont want to spend too much but I want to further the car. The two big options I've throught of are Fog Lights or Tinted Windows.... Any other ideas?
I'll say this much, Glass Packs, Are out of the question.
RE: Need some Car ideas. by Pr0xY on 12-06-2004 at 04:53 AM
Are you focusing on Audio stuff or do you want Performance parts...? Basically do you want your car to be all show no glow... or all about speed?
RE: Need some Car ideas. by wj on 12-06-2004 at 05:25 AM
It can go either way but I dont want to go overboard on the speed/performance parts. Besides it's pretty fast as it is.
4.6L V8 - 240hp.
RE: Need some Car ideas. by .blade// on 12-06-2004 at 05:44 AM
I think some window tinting, or a good paint job that looks police-ish, but cool

How much gas do you spend in a week?
Anyways, I don't know if your car already has had a moon roof or not. But, if it hasn't, it could a good upgrade.
I really don't know if it is really a good idea though
But, in MTV's Pimp My Ride, I once saw a car that was modified to be having a moon roof, and a sensor that will close the moon roof automatically if it is raining
I just think that it's very cool
Oh, and btw, your "Car-puter" sounds very cool
Any pics if it is done?
RE: Need some Car ideas. by wj on 12-06-2004 at 05:50 AM
Paint Job!
Thats what I should do. Then I'll hook up the window tinting.

Shit!!! wj I hope you plan on running that on a drag strip, you'll prob run LOW 15's, maybe even high 14's. wj, what are you running in that thing, as far as the engine goes?

RE: Need some Car ideas. by wj on 12-06-2004 at 04:50 PM
It's a cop motor. and I get mid 14s Last run was about 14.4 on the strip.
Old Engine? it's a 1995.

LOL
14.4 mpg? It gets less mileage than an H2 o.O Anyways, could you post that pic. you posted in my old car thread? I'd like to do an edit to show you what I meant
RE: Need some Car ideas. by Stigmata on 12-06-2004 at 05:21 PM
how many jobs do you have 
anyway 
all i can say is
nice paint job ( no flames etc cus its tacky )
nice Roar when the engine starts.
oh yeh, and it HAS to be a vw campervan

I agree that they're tackyon newer cars, but they look really good on old (re-built) Model T's and such.

RE: Need some Car ideas. by MessEnGer on 12-07-2004 at 11:15 AM
HEy Wj how about a mufler ???
give some extra sound to the car eh ??
and also what about some nice alloys ?
hmm yeah i agree to azn angels idea how about having some lights under the car that'll look cool
RE: Need some Car ideas. by Wabz on 12-07-2004 at 04:03 PM
Slam it to the floor, Whack an induction kit on. And a nice paint job with tinted windows

Not 14.4 mpg Thats my time on the drag strip.
Blade, I'll shoot a pict of it today if the weather clears up, I dont know if I have the old pict any more.
RE: Need some Car ideas. by st0rm on 12-08-2004 at 01:05 AM
wellz i dunno much abt cars, basically i noe nuffin bout em, buh i do noe this, from experience hah, dun modify it sooo much that it looks like a massive hunk of rice. so modify it too look nice, and so that it actually goes somewhere wen u put ur foot down.
if u modify it soo much that it just looks like u spent 10grand on stupid lil things and the car isnt that much of a fast car, ur gonna get a lotta shit on the road.
u should put ur mind more to performance parts so u can get better times on the drag strip, like my dad did, hes got a '95 model R33 GTS-T Nissan Skyline, and it currently does 12.9's at the drags on a stock turbo, and thats all from spending weekends working on the performance, and buyin better performance parts.
buh in the end, its your car, if u want a good looking car that doesnt go anywhere, then go ahead, buh if u want a good looking car that doesnt look REALLY bad and goes somewhere then go ahead too, its ur car
lolz this coming from a lil girl tha doesnt know anything bout cars lolz

Actually, a lot of the 'for looks' parts DO increase performance.
Rims - Lighter rims means a faster quarter mile
Hood - A Lighter hood, or a hood with intake will help the engine perform better/lighten the car
Spoiler (wing) - Decreases drag and/or keps the rear end from hydroplaning
Body Kits - Decreases drag and wind res.
Fresh paint - prevents rust (if done well)
Tires - grips the road better/perform better
etc.
PS
WJ, taking off the massive spotlight might lighten it a bit

1. the car you just said... the '95 Nissan R33 GTS-T Skyline, would run 12.9 with it being completely stock (besides taking the speed govener off). I would think that car, with even some minor performance parts, would run better then that. hmmm...... ohwell...

Not true, you can change the angle accordingly.

All those shown wheels are illegal to drive with on normal roads! If some cop catches you with that you can be sure that you have to pay a huge fine... And with such wheels your car will even be sacked if you need to go to the motor vehicle inspection.

RE: Need some Car ideas. by sock on 12-09-2004 at 01:51 PM
Some replies to what you've been talking about here...
Thinner tires give a better grip. Thicker tires are better for performance, fuel consumption and ride comfort (less noise too). "thinner/thicker" refers to the ratio between the base width and side width (I don't know the English terminology). Every tire is a compromise, there's no perfect tire.
The rim size by itself doesn't mean anything except for aesthetics (it will mess up the speedometer tuning though). Lightweight rims will slightly decrease the car's unsupported weight, which has some small advantage I forgot. In road cars though, they're mainly for aesthetics reasons too.
What's more practical is the tires' air-pressure. Higher pressure (in the allowed scale!) gives better grip, performance and fuel consumption, while lower pressure gives better ride comfort.
Spoilers increase the tires' friction as speed grows, to slightly improve performance, fuel consumption and grip. However, they're only effective in high speeds. But they are also mainly an aesthetics thing (in America at least), just like those body kits that decrease the car's drag for the same purposes...
Anyway, as I said before, I think this stuff is silly... If you want a faster, better-gripping car, get a Miata with a big engine (or if you can, a Boxster or a BMW 3). If you want a better-looking car, well, get a French car. 
(see examples below
)
Peugeot: classic aesthetics.

![[Image: PEUGEOT_407_01-2004-26.jpg]](http://www.automag.be/IMG/jpg/PEUGEOT_407_01-2004-26.jpg)
Renault: wonderful creativity.
![[Image: megane3.jpg]](http://www.outrefranc.com/pleinsphares/renault/megane2/img/megane3.jpg)
IMO, those simple, clean designs are much more aesthetic than all those mumbo-jumbo "sportive" mods, and creative body shapes are much more attractive. OK, that's all.

My point, you can't define a car by its type only...
Also, Peugeots (French cars in general for that matter) are know to have a very robust chassy and body. They are build for long term use and don't go all rusty after a year. If you had an accident with a Peugeot, chances are that your car isn't total loss and can be fixed and it will drive like before (unlike some other brands which go rusty relative quick and are ready for the scrapyard after even the smallest bumb).....

(dunno if "Johnny-level" is an international term though, lol, people from the Benelux will know what I mean)
eg: modded cars (or models like Traxor have shown) are nothing more then looking "good". Performances? pfff, like you will benefit of the performances on a normal public road. Go to the racetrack or roadshows if you want such cars.

wtf, ur younger than me, definatly not old enough to drive.
Anyways, when I can learn to drive (only a year and 1/2 to go!), i want to get just a nice car, that has loads of stuff inside (gps, dvd, surround soud, heated seats etc...). The people who have modded cars just look really stupid IMO, you almost never get to use all the mods, so ur just wasting your money.

No it's not
The Enzo was a special car, 1000 made, 1000 sold, end of production. Any car RESEMBLING an Enzo is still not an Enzo.

you're 15, and i'm 14, I'm 1 and a half years younger than you according to your information in that post.
When Will you ever afford a car like that at your age when you'll learn to drive, think realistically here, you'll be 17, your insurance will be really high anyway, it'll cost more than you car possibly multiplied by two when you get your first car. You won't be able to afford that unless your family have won the lottery or something. Why do people with modded cars look really stupid, If you learn how to use them properly, which a lot of people will, then its logical to be honest... Putting a dvd player in your car is a waste of money, a gps is okay.. but a dvd player, its just silly, you won't be able to watch it, only your passengers will be able to benefit, why have something in your car that you will never use

You seem to have an "American" taste, trax. Especially when saying that the 206 is a young woman's car. 
The 206 has the best handling in its category. It's a driver's car, which *happens* to look better than any other supermini. The 206 GTI is the best GTI of these days, and it is arguably more pleasuring than your faster and better-gripping EVO.
I agree that the Megane II's design is hard to digest, but that's exactly what makes it so special... It stands out.
quote:Funny, the common belief in Israel (and America probably) is just the opposite... They seem to believe that Japanese and Korean ones are more robust and reliable. But the differences in quality between modern cars are quite small really, that shouldn't be a reason to choose one car or another...

If you had an accident with a Peugeot, chances are that your car isn't total loss and can be fixed and it will drive like before (unlike some other brands which go rusty relative quick and are ready for the scrapyard after even the smallest bumb).....

Performances? pfff, like you will benefit of the performances on a normal public road. Go to the racetrack or roadshows if you want such cars.
blade, of course exotic Italian cars look amazing, but my point was that those French cars are affordable, they're a rational alternative to that modding business. By the way, the Peugeot 407's design is based on old Ferrari design concepts.

in car media systems can be added after you have bought the car, and arent that expensive, and dont affect the insurance costs (afaik).
