Aaaannnd...done.

Anyone done modding. Looking back at it, with all your successes and mistakes...If you could turn back time and have the knowledge you have now, how would your build look?

Wait a minute, that would be going forward in time.



I would have done tires first, then headerback exhaust/tune at the same time. Drop in filter on the intake. Not screwed around with cheap coilovers and gone with the V3's the first go around.

Done?

I would not let Biff get his hands on that damned Sports Almanac!

Wouldn't change a thing. Full exhaust/tune, wheels/tires, and lowering springs/sway bars. Of course I've only had my car 9 months as well.

My changes:

I'd skip on the CAI, engine pulleys, and possibly even the catback (hard to count that out for sure as I love the way it sounds)

All good ideas.

I wouldn't eat those sausages at that pub in Camden.
Apart from that... I'm good, thanks.

I think I'm pretty close to being "done". Was looking to do a track-focused build, with an emphasis on durability.

Mods:

- JDL thermal coated catless header
- JDL overpipe
- MF catted/resonated frontpipe
- Perrin resonated catback
- K&N drop-in
- OFT
- Perrin oil cooler

- whiteline front camber bolts
- whiteline rear diff/outrigger inserts
- project mu hc+800 brake pads
- 235/40/17 nitto nt05
- 17x8 wedssport tc105n

No regrets, but I do tend to plan out mods for a long time before purchasing. I am working on fixing an exhaust leak somewhere, but assuming I can fix that, wouldn't change a thing on the build. Pretty much just enjoying the car as is for a while.

Almost done.

Tomei UEL header will go on next week. Then I'm done. After that goes on the only thing I'm planning to put on is a Five Axis spoiler and I'm done.

If I could go back in time with the knowledge I have now, my build would look quite different.

For one thing I'd be posting on the Koenigsegg Agera forum, because I travelled back to 2003 and infiltrated Harvard University making sure to become Mark Zuckerberg's roomate and co-founder of Facebook.

Also shares, lots and lots of shares. Plus betting big on every Superbowl and Melbourne Cup for the past decade.

Would have skipped the 86 and went right to the GTR.

My build has been done for a while. There are few things I constantly debate back and forth between with no avail.


1. I went with 17x8 wheels. Looking back on how 17x9 would be much grippier with a 245 tire yet its my daily driver. 17x9 would be heavier and lower mpgs.
2. Went with street basis teins instead of saving up more for coils that were more track spec. Didn't want to hate driving the car on the way to school etc etc
