Highly recommend ktuner for any Honda/Acura people out there. Even if you have no mods, its still good to have. The ktuner v2 has a touch screen with indicators and plugs right into the obd2 port.
The only thing I've found helpful on ebay for my Mini Cooper is a black honeycomb grill. I think grills are generally pretty safe to buy most places, ebay or OEM.
You guys deserve more subs. Since buying and importing a ford focus rs and turning it into a rally car, you helped me avoid some mistakes that would have cost thousands.
A mod I did on my car are tow rings and tow hooks, but I dont just buy generic ones on wish or amazon, I research around for quality ones that serve a function over aesthetics. It's just a convenience to have them on the car or truck ready to go vs having to get out, search around the trunk, move a bunch of stuff around, removing the carpet panel. especially in sub freezing temperatures.
Best thing to remember when building is trust the process save your money and get the thing you want you don’t need to get parts now save for what you want
Best budget car mod that actually works, weight reduction. Take out the spare tire and only fill your tank halfway. Thats already a 1/10 of a second and its not even a mod.
Route it to one of the cutouts in your bumper if you got any, I had to do just a little bit of cutting on my battery tray and I was able to route my air filter straight to the bumper... just avoid deep puddles.
You guys make a lot (if not most of your content) for people who seem to not know anything about cars and who think the circle block fits in the triangle. I’m surprised you haven’t made “Do chrome door handles make your car horn louder?” yet.
Most pointless mod is anything in the “Accessories” section at Autozone and Pep Boys. Those GTR stickers, stick on fender vents, and glow in the dark LED exhaust tips are really sweet dawg. 🙄🤮
Aging myself here, but there used to be something called the JC Whitney catalog. You could find the parts you needed, but you had to sift through pages of bolt on scoops (before 3M tape was a thing). Pretty much the same thing, but you actually had to want it enough to mail order the parts instead of impulse buying when you are picking up a new set of wipers.
Put a pod filter on my Magna purely to make it louder, I knew I shouldn’t do it, I knew it’d be bad for the car, but I did it anyway. It drove so much better when I put the stock air box back in before selling it

So made the decision to get raceland coilovers for my nb1 and I don't understand why they get so much hate they aint that bad for my daily use it was bumpy for about a month cause brand new shocks but after that she rides smooth. And honestly I'm just pumped I ain't looking at wheel gap anymore🥵
DO NOT CHOP SPRINGS!!!! I know I know, you want to scrape. Save the money for air or proper lowing springs and links. I got a 2010 370Z with 60K for 8k because he chopped the springs. I put $130.00 GodSpeed springs on it.
The only thing I did to my 2019 Mazda 3 was remove my air intake box to remove the air intake resonator and seal the hole then put the whole thing back in with the resonator attached but still sealed lol. It made the car have a slight upgrade of intake sound since it’s so damn quite that car.
Everyone always saying they made it already. That’s a perfect example of why this needs to be made! People don’t even know it exists! When people ask “what year is that Porsche?” And I tell them it’s a Nissan they look at me perplexed
Made my own heat shielding for my intake cuz it had none when I got it and got my iat temp 7° within outside air temp even at drive thu no more then 10° difference
I bought all quality brand name stuff, but I bought it heavily used, rusty coilovers, bent wheels with tires from 2003, guess what its all junk now after 2 years and car is back to stock and more reliable than ever, coilovers started leaking, tires I threw away, wheels need as much as I paid for them to get them right, its just not worth it, it would have been cheaper in the long run to buy all brand new stuff and maybe then I'd still have a cool looking car to this day rather than going back to boring old shitbox status
Maybe it’s because I live in NY where our roads are more synonymous with Swiss cheese than actual roads, but IMO the most pointless mod is ridiculous stance. I’m not knocking it for the people that do like it, but if you live in an area where potholes are like those instadeath quicksand pits from Super Mario 64 that kill you when you touch them, there’s no point in lowering your car to where your midpipe is only a hair’s width away from scraping pavement and throwing an excessive amount of camber to where your wheels resemble a crashed car in GTA that’s somehow still drivable.

Hey guys I'm enjoying the channel and I had a question about what could potentially be a pointless modification. What are your thoughts on throttle body spacers and intake manifold spacers? In your opinion do they do anything and are they worthwhile? Thanks guys!
The other Fitment Industries video inspired me to upgrade my intake because even if it doesn't add HP, at least it looks cool. But this Fitment Industries video discouraged me to get an intake. What gives man
My mother made a wing for her Toyota Corolla using door molding trim PVC pipe. And metal trimmings from a mailbox. Now, as sad as the sounds, and it sounds like the great. Foundation for a joke. This is real!! . No, I’m not joking about this. At the time my mom’s favorite movie was fast and the furious and she loved to play need for speed underground on the XbOx because she could paint the cars add lights that flashed and put decals all over them. She took this to real life and then eventually made a wing for her Toyota Corolla,a wing that at 65 miles an hour. Was actually functional. Oh, it gets better. She actually at one point got out some house paint and a brush roller and decided to paint the car with an initial D livery. And for one weekend, it was the hottest car at the local car meet
