Title: What was your first mod ?
Post by: s12vea on April 2, 2019, 21:59
After seeing @Ardent (https://www.mr2roc.org/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=20018) planning his first mod for the supercharged green 2  ;) it made me think what was my first mod ?

It's always been the same for me, on every 2 of mine (unless already fitted)

JDM front badge

Love the puzzled look on people's faces when they see it  :-\

On a side note it still surprises me Toyota still have them in stock, they must have made a hell of a lot of badges as can't imagine they are still in production.

I think it was replacing the fisher price stereo.
Can't survive without Bluetooth and USB.
JDM badge was an early one and mkiii pipe.
To be fair think I went turbo in well under 1 year.

Having a PFL, my first mod was the clear  FL side repeaters. Tasty. :)

If it already had a jdm front badge my next mod would be lowering springs

Front Spats and TTE Banana Sport Spoiler fitted by MrT after the car was a few months old in 2004.  Cost me a fortune but then the car cost £15,850 new, so not huge in percentage terms  ;)

The spats make a huge difference to these cars, much more sporty  8)

Getting a Sony CD changer out of my "come in handy" cupboard and connecting it up to the original Sony head unit.

Its unusual for that cupboard to deliver anything actually useful so I was very happy

I have a few bits in my garage loft that I've had for years and say the same thing, but yet to use a single thing.
Maybe one day hey
