What to do when you've hit a brick wall in modding
 
I've done everything I could do to my car that's available without going turbo or doing some crazy engine swap. I feel like I have hit a brick wall with modding and not sure where else to go with it. External appearance is modded, interior is modded, stereo is done, and I've gone as far as possible with the engine. So what is a person to do when they come to a dead stop? Start over with something new or take things to the next level by doing crazy horsepower setups or do I just keep it as is and buy a new car to start another project?

Post pictures of it. HA members can then suggest additional mods.

Drive and maintain it



Or a small turbo kit won't be anything crazy.

Photos and mod list would be good. I will be shocked if you've done everything possible. Ether way I want to see it. :)

Yup post some pics.



If you have really gotten to the point where there is nothing else you want to do to it, then there is your answer...

If you still want to mod something save that mod cash up and buy another car and begin the process again, and create something completely new.

There's no such thing as never being done. You can ALWAYS add more or do something different regardless of the car. Cool paint job, custom upholstery, engine swap, shaved body or engine bay, air suspension, forced induction, better handling, different wheels, chop the top off, change the ICE, etc, etc....

I always keep a goal in mind when modding a car. Granted due to unforeseen financials it's been years since I have finished a car, but once I am sated with the mods I move on to the next one and just enjoy driving my baby.



In my case the Tib is already done save for the paint and motor. Once the engine is done I am going to work on the exterior and then he'll be my toy car while the MR2 gets the treatment. Once the MR2 is done then the 944 and I still plan to acquire the R32 that slipped through my fingers last year (had to sell it before I even took delivery to fix the house.)



The "end" is just the beginning becsue then you get to enjoy the thrill of driving the hell out of it.

Your brick wall is your bank book and your desire!! , I just spent 2000 on a Haltech sport 1000, then spent 3000 to re wire the car , new alt, bat,belts,fluids,etc, all wiring accessories, dyno tuning and refining!..No real power Mods , just an ecu and tune to gain almost 80 hp at the same boost !.., I could still list thousands of $ I'd still love to spend!, I only have pistons and rods, my heads all stock!... Give up , or just go buy a fast car... sorry for the rant, Ive been drinking..btw ,just had first drive at 362 hp and it scared me a lil , but made me grin hard !!... Guarenteed if you start throwing money at hp, you'll fall in love with your accent again !!, Hp is what keeps me going with the tib, even though its a lil costly and lonley lol.
