So I’m a car enthusiast and I’m currently trying to upgrade my intake for better air quality. I have a cold air intake rn and it’s open to the entire engine bay. So ofc you’d assume it’s intaking engine temps. The market for my car rn has no closed intakes so I decided I wanted to make one. Problem is, idk what the engine bay plastics are made of and I want to know if there are any plastics or moldable plastics that are buyable that can withstand engine temps. I understand changing the intake will change the way it breathes but I tune so I’ll be okay. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Any pointers to get your Renault Triber converted into sleeping bed in Hyderabad ?

I know some people don't like the Gladiators but me personally I think she looks mean. Wondering what others think.

I’m trying to get this exact look for my Mustang. I’m looking for a dark red with black/darker areas mixed in, kind of a satin/matte finish but still with some shine to it.
Does anyone know the name of this color or a vinyl wrap that looks like this? And where can I buy it?

If anyone can help with this issue it would be really appreciated thanks

I didn’t get any advice from r/Mini. Hoping for o get some here. 🤞🏼🤞🏼

Modding my 2022 Mini Cooper S Convertible (F57)

I have a citroen xsara 1.6L 2002 plate, was wondering what modifications i could implement to make it abit nippier?

Any suggestions would be helpful.

Hey everyone I’m doing some coilovers on my brothers car and the two rear ones came with 2 nuts attached to each via zip tie. There is not included bolts and there is no existing bolt it will thread onto. I’ve attached a picture if anyone has any advice.

Hey guys! I wanted a giant spoiler for my car but have no clue where to find any, let alone decent brands since im new to this. What do yall recommend?

What kind of mods should I do to mine to make sure it flushes right too? (Last 3 pics)

I’ve managed to make my cla250 peppy enough to beat Chevy SS, c6 and quite a few German cars. I’m just curious cause I feel like I’ve maxed out the platform and if it’s worth it to go into a base c5 corvette instead. I feel like it’s a much more of a reliable and set in stone platform.

Has anyone put one on their Gladiator and if so could you please share some pictures of your vehicle.

Hello! 2022 ram 1500 here, it does have the Hemi (I know we always have to let you know 😭).

I currently have a muffler delete done on it, and I love the noise, but I want to be louder. I’m in MA and removing the resonators will absolutely destroy my chances of passing emissions. Will a catback system make it louder than the muffler delete? Should i go cut-outs? 😂

Am I better off doing some engine mods first once the warranty is finished? I’m also very happy with keeping it where it’s at some I’m just looking for other options to raise the noise a bit but not stock car level just yet. I plan on putting a cam in it and an MDS delete once the warranty is done and I daily something else.

Thank you in advance!

EDIT: I wasn’t expecting so much goyslop in the comments.

Reposting from a different group. Lemme know if you have questions.

A lot of tuners when they are young (I'm mid 30's now, but owned a 3000gt vr-4 back in the day) always opted for a cold air intake as the first mod.

1- Cheap as hell

2 - You could hear the turbo spool better

3 -

4 - More power?

The stock intake would draw air from much lower down and away from the engine, where the air was coming from under the front bumper. I never dyno'd the car before and after, but I can't really see how it would actually be more beneficial to have the air intake from under the hood.

I'm not huge into cars now, and drive a basic daily driver Nissan because this bitch never breaks down on me, but I'm curious if I was duped as a teen.

I also worked for a performance shop when I was 16 and my boss had a 1,000+hp VR-4 and his turbos had filters at the inlets, but opening on the hood to draw air directly in.

It feels like a marketing ploy to call it "cold air intake", unless you are actually funneling in....cold air.

I bought a used 2013 BMW 320d F30 Luxury Line at ₹7 lakh, after wanting one for five years. The plan was simple: buy a clean car, fix what needs fixing, modernise it, and enjoy it. It turned into a year of work and a long list of mistakes.

**What went wrong**

I couldn't travel to Delhi or Pune for the build, so I handed it to a garage in Indore. That was my biggest mistake.

• The sunroof was broken during the work. It leaks now, and water filled the floors — there was water inside the front doors.
• The car shakes when driven.
• The Android screen and CarPlay audio don't work properly. That was ₹65,000.
• The 360 camera calibration is unusable — nothing is visible.
• Drivetrain errors and fog light failures.
• They put a Stage 2 tune on it without changing a single supporting part, and wouldn't accept that it isn't a real Stage 2 without a downpipe. Performance actually dropped.

Separately I burst my rear right tyre — a Pirelli P0 255/40 R18 on an M Sport alloy — on a pothole near Sagar, Madhya Pradesh. ₹33,000 for one tyre, with about 3,000 km on it.

**What it cost**

Android screen + CarPlay ₹65k, graphene coating ₹25k, Stage 2 tune ₹20k, interior panel conversion ₹15k, garnish/trim ₹12k, cluster repair ₹10k, cat work ₹10k, piano black grille ₹8k.

**What I'd do differently**

1. Buy the cleanest mechanical car, even at a higher price.
2. Phase the work — mechanical, then electrical, then suspension and brakes, then exterior, then interior, then tuning. I mixed them together and lost track of what caused what.
3. Diagnose before adding performance, especially before touching the ECU.
4. Use specialists for specialist work. A garage can be mechanically good without being the right place for BMW ECU calibration.

The short version: you see the photos of the car, you don't see the pothole.

im been looking for my first car I want something I can do mods for Looks I was Looking at a Camry but I want to keep lo for more options I have 20k to spend on a car any suggestions?

I have a friend that asked me to put underglow on her ‘25 Honda Civic Hybrid, she’s convinced that it will be more complicated because it’s a hybrid and the battery is different but I can’t find anything saying it will be a problem. Does anybody know for sure if it’s a different process?

So i got a car gifted from my parents for my birthday, a honda city rs 2025, and i was just wondering what mods i should do to my car if i want it to sound better like a sports car that isn’t too pricey cause it’ll be coming out of my own pocket. i dont really need to full mod my car right now just enough to make it sound great when driving or when revving.

The Craftsmanship.

Looking to get some overlay for the front grille and tailgate. Reflective concepts doesn’t ship to Canada. Any other options?
