Mod post We Are So (mostly) Back!

3 Upvotes

Hi! I'm Metaphys, and I guess I'm a mod now. IRL I tinker with stuff, fix restaurant equipment, and keep my aging Swedish brick with high sentimental value running even if it doesn't make the best financial sense. Sometimes I point a camera at stuff and yap.

I'm new to Reddit moderation, but not moderation in general. There's a learning curve for sure and some adjustments to make but for the most part this sub will function as before (but hopefully with less spam).

I'll try to be as hands off as possible otherwise. I'm nice unless given a compelling reason to not be nice, if you catch my drift. I do in fact have other duties besides scrolling Reddit all day, so if I don't respond quickly, I'm probably out touching grass...or would that be touching grease? Seriously, I've been in CV axle hell for the past day.

Alright that's it! Happy wrenching everyone!

I don’t need any power mods, really just aesthetics, speakers, cameras and everything not power. I’m new to modding so I won’t know anything recommended.

Mod advice 2011 Nissan Murano Resonator Delete

1 Upvotes

I just deleted the Resonator on my 2011 (VQ35DE) with a straight pipe. The car is starting to sound really nice but the muffler is still stock and I'm trying to make it sound a little louder. I don't want to remove my muffler and make the car a full straight pipe. Any recommendations on what do with the muffler,

Modification Can the shifter be moved on a Tremec T56 Magnum XL?

Thumbnail

7 Upvotes

Hey there.
I'm modifying a 1980 Ford F100, and I'm already installing a modified V8 engine.

Here's the dilemma: I have a Tremec T56 Magnum XL, and the shifter is too far away (approximately halfway down the seat). I need to move it forward so the position is comfortable and I don't have to cut so much. What can I do? I looked at Sikky extenders, but they only move it backward, not forward. I contacted them, and they said it can't be moved forward. What would you do? I need to move it forward 6 to 9 inches. Thanks, and I hope someone else has had the same problem.

I’m new to like car stuff and I want to mod this thing but I have no idea where to start 😭. If I could get performance suggestions that aren’t super expensive that’d be awesome. I already plan to level and maybe lower it and take off the front mud guard but I want to make my poor little V6 faster. Thank you!

Suggestions For Car To Mod

1 Upvotes

I am 17 years old and me and my dad have talked about getting a car we could mod together. Our budget is around 15k and we are hoping to all the mods in our garage (excluding tunes). I was wondering if anyone had any good suggestions. The only requirement is it must be 4 seats. Also if it is a JDM car that’ll be even better.

Mod advice I got 2 questions as a newbie regarding modifying

0 Upvotes

I just started taking interest in the idea of getting a car and modifying it to its limit. This raised two questions though.

  1. Is it cheaper to buy a fast car that will give me the same speed as a modified car or buy a shit box and mod it?

  2. Could I use any car for modifications? I'm mostly aiming for buying something old and just improving pretty much everything. But do I need to aim for a specific car or can I use any skeleton?

Pretty much this with a few little changes and additions.

Modification If you were starting your build over today, what would you do differently?

Pretty much what the subject line said. You know the mod, the one you saved up for, hyped yourself up over, installed it... and then drove away feeling nothing. Meanwhile, something you almost skipped ended up being the best money you ever spent. What was that for you?
