My Car
When I look at my car all I can think about is the future for it and how glorious it will look when I am finished. I drive a carbon steel grey 2013 Volkswagen GTI and I love it. Currently I only have a couple of modifications done to it but I have a list of plans for the future, for when I get the money. On my list of modifications, current and future, I can divide the modifications into three main categories; engine power, cosmetic appearance, and handling. Some of the modifications may be in for than one category but all of the modifications lead to my car looking, sounding, and feeling tremendous.
Engine power was the first thing I started to work on when I first got my car. First I went to a tuning shop and had Leo, the owner of the shop, install an APR stage 1 reflash which took the car from 200hp to about 250hp. That modification really woke the car up making it a little faster and a lot more fun to drive. The next power modification I did was a cat-back exhaust which claimed to give the car 15 more horse power but I did not feel any difference. The cat-back exhaust only made the car louder and gave the car a more aggressive look from the back. After the cat-back exhaust I installed an air intake which make the car more fuel efficient, gave it about 5 extra horsepower, and allowed the car to have an awesome blow off sound. The final power modification I have done so far was putting on a three inch downpipe and a stage2 reflash which took the car from about 255hp to about 280hp. My power modification I hope to get in the future are an intake manifold, larger fuel injectors, Audi r8 coil packs, a ko4 turbo kit from APR, and a larger intercooler.
For cosmetic appearance I have not done too many things yet but the things I have done made the car look much better and gave it a little bit of my own personal style. The first thing I did for appearance was changing my head light
