And if you're buying an EP3, get it on a ramp or jack it up and stick it on stands and check the underside of the car for rust and corrosion, they're getting on a little bit now and I've seen some shells rotting like mad. Great cars nonetheless, same engine as the FN2 but weighs a little less and is much more tail happy. The FN2 imo is a much better all rounded road car but the EP3 is more fun imo.

    Good job, you've completed the supporting mod stage. now you can do whatever mods you want and make heaps of power and your car won't break!
    The problem is that fully supporting a high horsepower build is expensive in itself.
    All I named were the first 8 that came to mind. I didn't even start on clutch, motor mounts, shifter linkage, hard bushings, etc etc......

      But the video is supposed to be an introduction to modding. The things you're talking about are serious mods for the experienced modder. Unless the person watching this video knows for certain that they're going for a high horsepower setup, most of the things you mentioned would be a waste of money and some would even be bad for the car. Although I'll give you hard bushings, I wouldn't even think about coilovers until I knew the bushes were up to scratch.

    @DjRjSolarStar 8 лет назад +7

    I'd say #1 most important mod is new brake fluid. I've almost gotten myself killed in a stock Civic b/c I boiled the brakefluid while driving it hard and almost flew off a cliff when I had to use my E-brake to slow down. It can happen in only a second or two and gives you little to no warning unlike brake fade from the pads getting too hot. Do yourself a favor and buy some Castrol SRF; expensive for brake fluid, but cheap for insurance on your life.

    I found a K&N (or other) sway bar kit made the biggest difference. It is totally cheap, easy to install and the noticable difference was overwhelming.
    When installing new brake pads and discs, consider installing some brake cooling ducts with them. Proper hoses only cost a few EUR or GBP and are installed easily with a hole saw and some zip ties. Best track tuning you can do when on a budget.

    For anyone whose here for an upgrade list but doesn't want to go the tuner route here's your list to beast your experience
    1. Brakes. Calipers, rotors, pads, just do it.
    2. Match your brakes to a set of wheels. Try not to break past 18" if comfort is your flex.
    3. intake, downpipes, exhaust, allow your car to breathe.
    4. Tune, ECU upgrade.
    5. Suspension, coilovers
    6. Dynamat
    7. Sway bars, struts/brace
    8. LED strips for the footwell of your backseat

    There's one thing you missed, when you decide to bolt on a turbo, the motor needs a shit load of parts to handle the boost. Forged pistons, new head gasket, new fuel rails, injectors, a larger exhaust, etc. Without upgrading YOU WILL blow you motor. Make no mistake, it's not that easy to just tune your car.

    First step: get a car

  • @vitric
    @vitric 8 лет назад +1

    Service: Well, I can't argue with this.
    Wheels and tires: Reducing unsprung mass is always great, but suspension geometry is designed to work with the factory wheel and tire combination. Changing tire width and height changes a lot about how these angles work together, so if you're going to spend the time and money on new tires, it'd be worth it to figure out how to adjust your suspension to get the most out of it. That being said, no, you won't "ruin" the way your car drives, you'll just change it from factory spec. More than likely in a negative fashion, if you go too extreme.
    Weight reduction: This sounds good, but the suspension is designed to sit at a certain level with the weight that the car came with. If you reduce sprung mass without compensating the suspension, you're going to raise the car, and your center of gravity. Sounds counterproductive if you're trying to improve performance.
    Upgrade suspension: New shocks and springs are always great. But if you're going to do it JUST to lower the car, once again, this changes the way the geometry of the suspension works. At this point, you might as well just adjust it back down to where it was before the weight reduction, but the wheels and tires are still throwing off the geometry unless you bought all adjustable parts and had it alinged, after figuring out your custom angles.
    Brakes: I don't know how putting "beefier" brake pads on to the existing setup would do anything. Are they talking about surface area of the pad itself? Because you're pretty limited by the size of the caliper. A thicker pad wouldn't do anything, other than possibly not fit. What this section should have mentioned is how to increase the hydraulic advantage of the calipers, with either bigger piston or multi piston calipers. They don't even say to get drilled or slotted rotors, or a "big brake kit."
    LSD: Can't argue with this, except that it should be noted that it's possible to adjust the aggressiveness of the engagement by putting in more or less clutches.
    Interior: Who cares what the steering wheel is made of? Why not buy a tighter ratio steering rack if you want tighter steering? A smaller wheel will make it harder to turn, as you're decreasing mechanical advantage (leverage) against the box/rack. Old cars without power steering had huge steering wheels for a reason. I don't see the point in getting racing seats, any modern sports car should have bucket seats that are good enough. Waste of money imo.
    Power: There are plenty of ways to increase your engines output without individual throttle bodies or blowers. Reducing inertia in the valve train, bigger cam, higher ratio rocker arms, bigger valves, porting, stroking, thinner head gaskets to increase static compression, falt top pistons, lighter rotating masses. The most popular, simple and usually the first done are headers, straight pipes, a more free flowing air intake, and programmers.

    • @cindylawrence1515
      @cindylawrence1515 4 года назад

      100% right. First chang out to the best headers and exhaust system you can afford. But, all the components have to, first, work together AND should be selected with a careful eye towards the OVERALL components you plan to later install. So think..what cam do I eventually want install? What induction system am I putting in?
      Some speed equip companies like Edelbrock have full engine kite with the manifold, carb and the cam included so EVERYTHING WORKS TOGETHER. Otherwise... you end up with an engine where all the mod components are fighting one another and the driving experience is awful. The next mod is either get a far better engine management CPU But again a chip you can modify via a laptop to agree with the modifications you have installed. The degree a engine management system can adapt AND enhance the effect of any planned modifications is, today, THE critical consideration in choosing an aftermarket car engine CPU....call a range of speed equip tech assistance guys and LISTEN to what they advise.

    @pedrammaelstorm7051 8 лет назад

    Nice guide for noobs. It depends whether car purchased is new or used.
    I say :
    1- Test drive to understand abnormal behavior
    2- Aim what u want out of it, research for main parts, price and see if makes sense with the budget
    3- Service as said above, but as a project car, service comes last (remember I said new or used)
    4- Engine management tweaking. e.g carb tuning or ECU adjustments
    5- Major repairs. skip if only service required
    6- Tire/Rim to match needs. don't go over kill as suspensions are designed for a certain maximum grip.
    7- Suspension mods as the new tires show any weakness in stock suspension
    ...
    If u don't like the way car handles after these mods, disassemble new goods and sell the car.

    5. Super-charge (not a Turbo fan) ... for a more linear and powerful drive whether is straigh or corners or overtaking.

      In that episode they modify a Renault Avantime to go as fast as an Evo X, but it becomes too expensive and the car still performs badly. The point of the episode is that it's cheaper to buy a fast car than modify one to be fast
      BUT
      the entire premise is flawed because the Renault Avantime is a minivan and it's powertrain is too weak to handle any performance mods so they could only change things like tires, weight and increase downforce.
