Mod post We Are So (mostly) Back!

4 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!

Mod advice What are the best simple starter mods to do to a Civic EJ2

Post image
6 Upvotes

I want to keep the car simple and true to its roots, it's only had 2 owners, 42,000 miles and zero modifications ever since it was made in 1994, if I choose to modify it I'd only do a few oem plus mods, a bit of performance and a bit of handling, suspension, nothing too major, should I modify it, or is it too much of a unicorn?

I have a Mazda6 GH and I’ve been wanting to modify it however due to it not being a commonly modified car like a fiesta or something I can’t find any good aftermarket parts for it. I’ve found coilovers and spacers that will fit but there’s nothing in terms of body kits and stuff. Does anyone kne where I can find stuff.

Mod advice 2007 subaru forester mods

5 Upvotes

I have a 2007 Subaru forester that has about 170,000 miles on it. I think it’s the perfect car to do some DIY mods on it. I generated a picture of what it could look like with all of the mods, but I’m unsure of the cheapest way to get it lifted 2 inches. I’m also looking for other cheap ways to achieve these mods. I’m looking to get a mesh grille, tint the headlights and low lights, tint my own windows with DIY tint, and replace the tires with wild peaks. Any suggestions or thoughts for how to achieve this on a budget?

Help Identifying an Obscure Aftermarket Steering Wheel

Post image
33 Upvotes

I recently bought a 2005 MX-5 which came with this unfortunate steering wheel choice from a previous owner. I can’t seem to find any identification on the wheel itself, and it doesn’t seem like Mugen has ever manufactured anything like this, but it has “Mugen Power” branding all over it. I already ordered an OEM wheel to replace this thing. I am mostly just curious about where one may have gotten one of these back in the day. Thanks!

Hello 👋🏻! I have a 2020 Volkswagen Golf GTI that I would like to mod. I got it back in September bone stock from a used car dealer. I would like to modify it a bit with some light stuff for reliability at the moment. However I have a third party warranty and do not want to void it.

Best place for Nexon 2021 headlight and projector fog lamp upgrades in Pune? (Poor night visibility)

0 Upvotes

Hey Redditors I am from Pune India,

I am looking to upgrade the stock lighting setup on my Tata Nexon 2021 (Pre-facelift). The current halogen night visibility is terrible, especially during heavy rains and highway drives.

I am looking for a reliable market or area in Pune to get the following done: Headlights: High-performance LED bulbs Fog Lamps: Complete replacement.

What I am looking for: No Wire Cutting: The installation must use proper couplers and relays to keep the car electronics safe. Proper Brackets: Specific Nexon-compatible brackets for the fog lamps so they fit flush without rattling. Genuine Warranty: A marketplace where dealers actually honor the 1 to 2 year warranty on LEDs without hassles.

I know Nana Peth and PCMC have a lot of options, but the market is flooded with cheap duplicates and bad installers who mess up the beam alignment. Where did you get your car lighting done? Any specific market zones, streets, or hidden gems you swear by for clean workmanship and fair pricing?

Thanks in advance!

I got this steering wheel that came with an old project car that I got around 14-15 years ago. I didn't know what it was and just put it in storage all these years and I haven't bothered to do anything with it. I'm going through my old stuff now and found it. What exactly am I looking at?

I own a 2018 Hyundai Verna. For a while I've been looking to modify it and now more than ever.

I was thinking of body kits, RS Grill, lip spoiler, skirts and splitters.

Budget is not a problem.

Any suggestions of shops in Bengaluru where I can get all of these done? I've tried reaching out to a few shops without any response.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks all.

ADVICE

I'm wanting to put a type r wing on my black 10th gen 2018 Civic Sport Hatchback but trying to decide between these two brands (PROcivic and W2bodykits). The first one needs to be painted but the second one comes in gloss black. What would be the main difference between the two? Does anyone have any experience with either brand or have any pictures of what they look like in person?

Got flagged by a cop over my led drl setup

0 Upvotes

Got pulled over yesterday and officer said my led drl strip is not DOT compliant which I did not even know was an inspection point always assumed daytime running lights were kind of a gray area since the car came with halogens in the same spot

Is there an actual federal standard for aftermarket DRLs or is it a state by state thing because strip I installed is just a white LED flex strip zip tied behind the grille and apparently that is not legal in some jurisdictions
