Your greatest ever mod?

Probably fitting R1 calipers to my 750.
But the best mod is always fitting a new exhaust to a bike
Not really done anything to the car yet.. but probably getting rid of the 'hitting the arches 17" wheels of fail' will be the best mod.

Fitting the bride bucket seats into my Integra. Seats went from being something that you sit on to being a massive communication device from the car, it also had the benefit of changing the steering wheel into a pure steering device and not something to hang onto 
Upgrading the brakes with Megane R26.R calipers red stuff pads, 323mm Discs, custom mounts, custom brake lines and motul fluid. IMPOSSIBLE to get brake fade and absolutely incredible performance on track.
The Anti-Roll bar upgrade was pretty outstanding too...

I put a stage 3 1700cc in a standard Ford 100E. 39hp to 145hp in two days, standard suspension, standard brakes, standard tyres, massive steering wheel. THAT was a hell of a lot of tyre shredding fun

its amazing that cars woudl ever be produced with 39bhp. its amazing that a hike to 145bhp was considered a hike etc but given the times and the technology i bet that was an absolute riot

My dad ran a 105E (when they were modern!) with close to 185bhp!
The mod to my Polow is pretty epic as I have modded a different Derv pump & strapped it top side. Getting around the trick electrics was a challenge.
S'pose my most Epic mod would be putting a 1300GT out of a Mk2 Austin into my Mini & fitting the Fibreglass flip front. The car was epic but Dangerous, A Perfect mod I'd say.

Your early mods sound like my early mods. You look back and cringeS'pose my most Epic mod would be putting a 1300GT out of a Mk2 Austin into my Mini & fitting the Fibreglass flip front. The car was epic but Dangerous, A Perfect mod I'd say.
Plenty of power in a car that weighed 750kg with inadequate drum brakes as standard. I remember smelling them burning and fading away to nothing many many timesits amazing that cars woudl ever be produced with 39bhp. its amazing that a hike to 145bhp was considered a hike etc but given the times and the technology i bet that was an absolute riot
Twin high mount Renegade race exhaust system coupled with an Evoluzione race airbox both fitted to my Aprilia RSV.
Made an already amazing sounding and performing bike even better sounding and performing. Zorst system is deep and bassy and the induction roar of the airkit is addictive.
DTUK Tuning box on my Vectra 3.0 CDTi was fun too. Till it zapped the ECU.
