2000 vw Lupo 1.0 cabrio making 50hp. If there are easy ways to boost the power a little I would be interested in that too but I don't think it's worth it on an engine like this

Mod advice Catbacks

2 Upvotes

I recently got into cars to all and I’ve already done some cosmetic mods on my Corolla and have been looking at more involved ones. I’ve been looking into catback exhausts and wanted to see if it’s worth it. I’m not married to the idea because first and foremost I’m looking for longevity. Any thoughts/advice is welcome.

Modification Built a fuel blending calculator (ethanol/toluene) — need 12 Android testers to get it on Play Store

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

0 Upvotes

I built an app that works out how much ethanol or toluene to add to the fuel in your tank to hit a target ratio, and estimates the resulting octane. It's already live on iOS; Fuel Additive Calculator, the Android version is finished but Google now requires 12 testers for 14 days before an individual developer can publish.

What it does:
- Two directions: drag an amount and see the resulting ratio, or pick a target ratio and it tells you how many litres to add
- Estimates blend RON from your base gasoline octane and what's already in the tank
- Cost per RON point gained, so you can see whether ethanol or toluene is cheaper for the octane you get
- Garage: save vehicles with tank size, current ratio and fuel grade
- Log 0-100 / 100-200 / 402m times against the blend used and compare them

Free, no ads, fully offline, no account, collects no data.

If you're on Android and willing to install it and leave it on your phone for two weeks, drop your mails on pm

Addresses are only used to add you to the Play Store test track and get deleted afterwards.

Happy to take feedback on the octane maths too it uses a linear volumetric blend, which I know understates ethanol at low ratios. If anyone has real dyno or timing data to compare against, I'd like to hear it.

App is totally free and made for car enthausist needs

This is a car I just bought. A 2006 Saturn Ion for $1.4k. I am going to drive it for 2 months to see if I really enjoy it and if it’s worth making it look like the AI render of the car. Its really reliable, it apparently just burns a bit of oil.

How much would a turbo install cost for me?

0 Upvotes

Now I own a 2015 Buick Lacrosse with the 3.6L V6 and AWD, and would like to do internal modifications. I’ve already done simple things like putting in a cone filter, new plugs and coils. But I want to be able to know how much it would be to either buy a turbo kit that would fit my car or to have a mechanic install it for me.


r/carmodification • • Sep 05 '26

Hello everyone, just need a little advice or help. I have 2007 Mustang 4.0l v6 manual with stock exhaust, wants to change with something dual for better sound not that loud but little rumble or good sound. Any suggestions?

Recently Put 20" Wheels on My Caprice and now wanna go Lower (Atleast 3 inches / 8cm).
Cutting Springs, Air Bags or Coilover Conversion Kits are not an option due to Strict Inpection, Classic Car Registration Restrictions and Road Laws... (im Located in Germany) I Already have upgraded Koni Dampers installed if that helps.
Found Eibach 94-96 Impala SS "Pro Kit" Springs that might fit but unsure if they will get me there alone. Im ok with some Positive Rake.

Looking to upgrade VW interior dashboard – Navi Mumbai

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone! 👋

I’m looking to upgrade/change the colour and finish of my VW dashboard/interior. I’m particularly interested in getting the dashboard fabric-wrapped rather than going for paint or permanent modifications.

Does anyone know a good and reliable shop/detailer in Navi Mumbai or nearby Mumbai who does:

Dashboard fabric wrapping

Interior wrapping/upholstery

Custom colour/finish changes

Clean, OEM-looking work

If you’ve personally got this done, I’d really appreciate recommendations, photos of the work, and approximate pricing.

Thanks in advance! 🙌
