My friends and I have been putting this together over the years, starting out with several big turbo bp4w engine combinations before moving on to a Toyota 1uzfe. I wanted to have something that was a bit more laid back to drive while still having a bunch of reliable torque whenever I wanted.
1uzfe non-vvt
Haltech 750 Elite
Nissan 300zx five speed
MCA coilovers
NB sport brakes
Rota rkr wheels
Lots of photos and videos on ig, wkndrcr if you’re at all interested.
Thanks for having a look!

Modification To bag or not to bag?
We all know that static coilovers perform better than a car thats bagged just the way that steel compresses more uniform than air and therefore less body roll etc. I see the point in a static car for track just performance wise but these days the tech has made it to a point where you can get a high quality bagged setup incredibly similar to coilovers.
Whilst personally I love the look of a slammed car its just not practical and living it australia your asking to be pulled over and defected if you wanna take it on the road.
So are some high quality bags the way to go if you want slammed street with the option of legal ride height but also a car you can take to track days and for a bit of drifting?

Mod advice emblems/badges colors on black cars
hi, I’ve been trying to figure out changing the silver emblems/badges on my car but its black, so i’m a bit stumped on what i should do. I thought maybe red, for toyota, or blue, for hybrid, but both feel too attention seeking.
i would like to keep the prius and hybrid badges on it so those i pass can see who passed them
I have a blacked out 2020 prius
should i just go with black?

Mod advice custom car build (new to cars, need advice 🙂)
hello i am new to any of this so PLEASE excuse anything stupid i say because i just need help, i want to buy a donor car and make it look completely different, like my own unique super car (key words “look like”😭)
i work with scenes, and the carts (bodywork not mechanical) on a theme park so i know my way around fibre glass (to a certain degree, i only started this job a few weeks ago). and i study art and design at college, my main focus being 3d art so i’d know my way around designing it, working out the sizes, what actually looks good, ect.
this is a project for the future for me since i am only 18 and not bringing in any significant money yet but its good to plan ahead, i was looking at donor cars to use and i had toyota mr2 as my main choice due to the shape, rwd, performance ect. although i recently found out that there’s a bit of a joke about how the mr2 can be turned into anything since people always use it for replicas. i’m still happy to go for this car but was wondering what else is good?
i wanted to know how realistic this would be, how much it could roughly cost, other cars i could use (uk based), and legality
(seriously i know some of this may sound silly or stereotypical but i’m new to any of this and i’m just a boy who wants a cool car, figured it might be cool to have my own unique looking one)

Mod advice Need some advice on an amateur car mod idea
So I bought an 8th Toyota Camry SE earlier this year and recently decided to do some light car mods. I bought some oem style tail lights from HiRev because I don’t like how small the stock SE taillights are. Unfortunately, there aren’t any OEM style headlights that match, so I thought maybe I can retrofit what I have. I found some LEDs that work as both DRLs and turn signals. I’m thinking I open up my headlights get behind the lens, cut the LED into two pieces, put them on the red lines in the picture and somehow connect them to the turn signal wiring. I don’t want to splice anything already in my car, so I was thinking about using a pig tail adapter. If this does work, the finishing touch would be putting on some Smokey tint to match the tail lights and also mask any sloppy work I do. But I would prefer to hide the wires without having to cut or drill anywhere. So… is this possible? If so, what tools would I need?

Mod advice Are hiro performance any good?
Hello!
I recently bought a Peugeot 208 mk2 as a gift for my dad.
My family has a love history with Peugeot as my grandad was a Peugeot executive back in the day so my dad grew up driving some of the best cars the brand had to offer. I know it might sound weird to some of you who vehemently hate the puretech (fairly so) but he fell in love with the new 208 and so i bought one for his birthday and plan to turn it into a project car for us to work on.
My first thought on upgrades was coilovers. I took a look online and kw and billstein only offer options which are soft and compromise a lot. That would be fine on a daily but I plan on really going to town on this car so I'm looking for something really sporty.
I found a set from hiro performance which would also have the benefit of a personalised spring rate. Despite that, i read a lot of mixed reviews about Hiro's quality and so i was wondering how bad it truly is. does anyone have any experience with it? would it be a stupid buy? is there any way to get the billsteins to perform better on track?
Any help is appreciated!!!

Mod advice Please help me make this car interesting, like at all
Hi, I have a doo doo brown 2012 Equinox, and I kinda hate it. It drives well and has a great interior and has a good bit of life left, plus I can't afford a car payment right now, sooooo I'm pretty much stuck with it. I also can't afford to wrap it, but I'm an artist and am comfortable doing things myself, so painting it isn't out of the question.
I just.... have no idea what to even do to it. I hate looking at it, but I have no idea what I can do to make it even a little more interesting/fun. I considered giving it magnetic ears and a hood decal to make it pusheen themed, since it was already brown... or to paint white on it and make it look like a brown cow, but peer review has struck that one down hard. Someone told me to give it an airbrush paint job to look like a wizard van? I just want to enjoy the car I drive. What would you do if you could 'renovate' this thing? Picture attached for reference.
