My old and "new" car ;)

Ther are realy nice stell rims from FIAT Argenta , old model , that looks very well with that car .
My bro have a set , but he have it mouted on his own GSI Polonez.

But i rather spend the money to fix body work, and install back suspension stabilizator (not shure about the word) for better handling

hehehehhe bro you have nice looking car there
just take care while speeding around that car is not for racing LOL

Don`t worry , safty first , this why i invest in winter tires / back stabilizator.

And Yea its not a car for fast driving . Too big , waight too muth , this is why my main focus , after back body work , clutch , and some other stuff , will be mods to suspension.

Some one culd ask ,why just dont get better car . Yea , i culd .

But hell yea , modding you own car , making it top cond ,even if its nothing special (*in my case its one of polish history*) is so muth fun . Its even better that messing with you own RIG.

And Polonez is chap to tune.

i to am one in favor of keeping a car in mint condition because basically not doing so is like playing your life, but i'm not at all into the tuning and modding i just don't like to spend money on a car because i never intend to keep it to much i have my driver's license for about 2 years now and in this time i've changed two cars my current one is a dacia nova gti 1.6L from 2001 it runs very good and does not cost me i only put gasoline and change the oil and that's all + other consumables like gas/oil/air filters, spark plugs... and so on, it's not much but it runs great and it gets me where i need to go, so long post short

for me personally a car it's just a consumable tool and nothing more, and if the car runs great why add unnecessary parts? just my own opinion

What unnecssary parts ??

Back stabilizator . Its shuld have ben mouted in every Polonez , its just not to make the car cheper.

Im not playning to mount any spoilers or other shit. Only fix the rust.

And i need to replace the clutch , it make some strange sound .

by unnecessary parts i meant exactly that u have said like spoilers custom exhaust and other shit

zamoldac
are you car mechanic?
i dont think so mostly you dont know what custome exhaust system can do to a engine
all fabric made one is killing the engine by pushing burned shit back to a cylinder but custome one is
removing that stress and pushing CO2 out of engine much easily and that is showing thrue giving engine higher HP (horse power) and larger rpms but also lowering down fuel usage
example i have ford mondeo 2.0 with 136ps and i have modified my complete exhaust and i have geted 145-150ps but fuel has gone down from 11.6L/100km to 9.2L/100km
fabric pipes for 2.0 is 45-50mm but i have puted 55mm pipe and if you ask me that is a improvement mostly because engine is less stressed by exhaust
yes it is louder (higher dB) but i dont give a damn because i cant hear it inside a car LOL

I have modded exaust too. Bigger flow trhu pipe , without cat , second part of exaust from Fiat 125 ( it also gives the engine great metalic sound ) , It gives it lil better fueal usage , and the max torque starts on lower rpms , i have intake from WV golf 1.8 , and this mod is too for lower fueal usage , and to car have more power on the wider range of rpm.

With this settings , i dont have to push the gas pedal too muth , to speed up.

Ther is also installed lil gizmo from fiat Ritmo or Argenta , not shure . Its shows you how muth fuel flow thru fuel pipes. I founded sweet spots on every gear with it. I mean i can speeed up normaly withou even making the gizmo go to red (whit means high fueal usage) mostly it stays on green or yellow.

This are mods that i like in a car. I wuld like to have "sleeper" you know normal looking car , stock body and stuff , with badass engine swaped. Its exacly opposite way of normal tuning like HOTIMPORT or DUB.

Zamoldac · December 25th, 2008, 02:15 PM

not i'm not a mechanic but i like to drive my car not work on it ( except maintenance work) killing the engie... yeah right so why i never heard of a car that had a problem because of that? my father never changed the exhaust on his car and never got a problem with that ( from his first car up to now on a renault megane 1.9 dci, 6gears gearbox etc... and didn't add a custom exhaust to the previous bmw 320 either and they all run perfect )so my opinion is that this parts are unnecessary

if the car runs good u should do ur work with it not spending time working on it but again that's my own opinion from my own point of view

Im totaly understand You and your Dad . and my Dad too . And most people using cars .

They just have to drive. Its like with PC users , most users are not overclocking not updating bios (some maybe in serices) not updating drivers. Becos they PC work with bundled drivers , and every thing set in bios to safe settings

.

Its like i like to mess with my rig make muth of it i safly can . And same with the Car. Its some thing more that a just drive from point to point. For me.
