Re: Wat is your priority in upgrading/modding?
think is up to individual preferences, bro. looks ? handling? performance ? for me, body kits last. polishing DIY.benchuatl wrote:Shall we discuss wat is the most important and prioritise items to change?

It depends on individual's preferences.
Read from mycarforum.com that some people start from mods they deem wouldn't void their warranty (i.e solar film, strut bars, rims, voltage stabiliser..etc) to mods that would void warranty (i.e air intake, exhaust, header, piggyback... etc), in hopes that by the time they reach the mods that would void warranty, their 3 years is up...
It usually doens't happen that way...

yup bro, tyres n brakes first as both are the only contacts on the roads situation..... as for me must remember that anything worst might happen in the next few minutes... next would be stabilizing the car..7Marlboroman wrote:go for rims and tyres first....
but in the end its up to the individuals.
Yup, so I see that most of us agreed that the onli contacts are tyres and wheel performance would take into consideration... However, I fully agreed with ben_ismail that the brakes would be the next as vtec gives power to speed, how about stopping? If i not wrong, many would find our ES braking is somehow lacks especially the first bite!!!!ben ismail wrote:yup bro, tyres n brakes first as both are the only contacts on the roads situation..... as for me must remember that anything worst might happen in the next few minutes... next would be stabilizing the car..7Marlboroman wrote:go for rims and tyres first....

yup i agree....brakes will be the next upgrade after rims and tyres....then go for performance and finally, when you feel that the performance is up to your standard liao, then go for body kit....however, i didn't take that path mentioned ....i did rims and tyres, then a little performance, then brakes...benchuatl wrote:Yup, so I see that most of us agreed that the onli contacts are tyres and wheel performance would take into consideration...
