Your greatest ever mod?

The gap isn't as big as it looks there, it only does 10 miles a week at the moment so its life expectancy is probably better than mine.
Ive done sweet nothing to the Megane apart from a panel filter so thats rather boring. The only interesting mod I have done in the past was facelifting the frontend of my old Renault 19. Out with the old bonnet, headlights and grill and in with the newer. Ive got some pictures laying around somwhere, novelty wore off after a month or so and I wished I hadn't done it. It looked better but I had ruined a tidy and rather rare car.
After i spent so much on mods years ago, i have always said to anyone, just but a better car!
To mod any car is a unknown, you could make a 300BHP focus ST or just buy a better model like the RS, I know prefer the standard package, better reliability, easier insurance etc.
iv done quite a few seriously effective mods to my golf (proper suspension proper 6 pot brakes much much better 4wd controller etc) but by the FAR the best has to be the addition of a secondary air pump powers gone from 240 hp to 450 hp+ itd be even better if it hadnt siezed
waiting for a new 1 then get a smaller pulley and remap and maybe crack 500 frustrated ponies

My best mod has to be the power FC with commander
The car ran better, responded better and felt like it had an extra 30bhp just by plugging it in. Obviously it needs mapping to get the most out of it.

I lowered my Astra G. It looked much improved and handled so much better, stuck like brown stuff to a blanket so you could really give it some abuse. They were not particularly expensive springs either so was quite impressed with them given the money.

back in the early 80`s, tuning my Suzuki 100cc road bike
did 60mph when got it, did 75 when i sold it and it was all my own work with the tuning files.
best fun tuning mod was making my suzuki 250x7 go from 100mph to 115
again all my own work with the tuning files(that thing would be on 1 wheel till you hit 3rd gear)
i loved the 70`s n 80`s twostrokes, i got good at tuning them if i do say so myself lol

Removed the silly small factory intercooler from my Cavalier Turbo and replacing it with a custom built front mounted intercooler that actually got airflow....
Instant 45-ish BHP and better response
Fitting it was fun as, at that time, there wasn't such a thing as a front mounted intercooler for this car so it was trial and error all the way
It even looked like a factory fit at the end it was so subtle from the outside.

Limited Slip Diff in my mx5. no more spinning inside wheel up coming out off round abouts
You just put it in the ditch instead ?
Id have to agree. My car on Pirelli's was terrible. Good Year Eagles made it great. Unlucky for me they dont seem to have any left around here anymore, and im getting close to needing all 4 again
Cant find 205/40/17 but i can find 215/40/17 which would fit i guess... just make speedo out.
