YACT: What mods have you done to your ride?

[mooncancook]

Please include any kind of mod, and don't be afraid that someone call your ride "rice" as long as you love your car and take care of it.

I'll start with mine (not much):

-- 04 Mazda 6S:
CP-E CAI with MAFCi (for some much needed torque)
Transmission cooler (prolong the life of the ATX)
HID Conversion kit (not installed yet)
Aluminum Pedals (this is rice because it's an ATX)
Edit: blue turn signal bulb (turns amber when on)

What I want in the future: coilover suspension and better looking rims

-- 04 WRX STi
windows tint
turbo timer
audio and 4 speakers

What I want in the future: CF dash kit because stock dash looks cheap; short-throw shifter; STi WRC pig decals

 

[shoRunner]

'90 SHO
y-pipe
fidanza flywheel
eiback springs
tokico struts
upgraded brake kit, rotors 1" bigger
stainless steel brake lines
aluminum subframe connectors
larger rims and tires
Alpine CDA-9815 deck
some old hifonic's amps

[Slacker]

I have 2004 Ford Mustang Mach1, all I have done to it so far is an aluminum driveshaft, MGW short shifter and C&L cold air intake and inlet tube.

I want to get some drag radials and exhaust for the track this summer.

 

[acemcmac]

I have an 99 Mustang V6 with an Escort X50 hardwired above my rearview, patched to the convertable wiring harness (since I'm a coupe) and I installed the OEM fog lamp switch to override it for shopping centers and the such. I :heart: it and don't know how I ever lived without it. I'm also riding yokohoma avs db2's that grip like hoes to a rapper.

How much did your transmission cooler cost you? I plan on getting that for my Mazda6.

Plans:
Clear side markers (apparently rice :roll: )
Eyelids (arguably rice and the only bit ill allow)
CP-E MAFCi
OEM Black Taillights (i hate the stock clears)
Lightweight 17" rims
Tein or Eibach springs

Not too much I can do with a 4 banger.

Now if I had a WRX or STi, I'd go Cobb Stage 2 with a nice coilover suspension. I think that beats a Cadillac STS.

How much did your transmission cooler cost you?

transmission cooler cost around $50 to $60 (don't remember exactly) plus some length of radiator hoses. I followed the DIY instruction at mazda6tech.com it wasn't hard at all.

 

[cavemanmoron]

I replaced the stock engine with one thats 45 cubic Inches bigger, {318 vs 273}
added dual exhaust, electronic ignition, a larger camshaft, stronger valve springs,
a higher output alternator, a high torque starter, a 4bbl carb, 600 cfm.

My car is not "rice", LOL.

I would bet its older than 70% of ATOT users.

feel the same with my STi. in stock form it's already powerful enough and drink gas fast enough.

 

[monk3y]

Absolutely nothing

Ugg... more ****** I need to explain. The stock hangers are very soft and with aftermarket exhaust it can cause it to hit the rear diff and basically make clunking noises. The kartboy exhaust hangers which are black btw are very stiff and eliminate this.
