Extreme Tuning

>>17438877
Tuning is adjusting the ECU to go faster.
Lower suspension and spoilers are either put on to increase performance or imitate the former.

tuning = making a car go faster (also see modifying)

modifying = ruining resale value

Why do all the "tuners" add stuff to the car? Ridges, intakes, gaps, holes, spoilers, that kind of stuff. Why isn't smoothening as much of a thing? Close off fake vents and unnecessary gaps, smoothen the body lines where they stick out (for example, those two bumps in R34's grille), get wheels with few large, tasteful spokes and tires that arent' paper-thin, integrate exhaust into the rear bumper, leave some ground clearance to leave an even gap in the wheel arch, refine the sound so it sounds good but not obnoxiously loud, that kind of stuff.

>>17438877
Because actual modification are expensive and require knowledge?

That's called ricing. All show, no go. You wanna talk interesting mods, you won't see them when the car is on the road. If you saw this Mustang on the road, you'd think it had flares, different wheels, and a Walden front lip. Underneath, it has totally different front suspension geometry, frame stiffeners, a cage with low door bars, a complete cobra IRS swap, a Ford Performance crate motor, etc.

Matt Farahs million mile mustang is cool but stop slobbing on his knob like corn on a cob

Wait, So is tuning everything that improves the speed/handling of your car like suspension and engine modifications? And modifying means any kind of mod whether it be body-work or tuning?

>>17440425
Modifiying means changing a part. Tuning means adjusting something. Shitty body modificstions are called rice.
>>17440406
Just an example off the top of my head. Doesn't look too fast but is fast.

>>17440961
>Doesn't look too fast but is fast.

look at those fucking tires. Yes it does look fast and intimidating.

Wide tires = putting down big power

>>17440357
yeah but its still ugly as hell

>>17440994
Yes but you are a stancefag, so your taste in what looks good can be disregarded. It's inoffensive, as a fox should be.

maybe when they dont look like shit

the fact that those have straight edges and arent even bolted into proper locations pretty much ruin them

car has bad fitment which doesnt help either

Those flares are made specifically for foxes, they're designed with the rivets farther out both to help flush the flare with the body and give you more room to cut sheet metal for clearance. Also the car is set up to have zero rub throughout the suspension' and steering's range of motion, not to have "perfect fitment".

I love finding some common ground to customize cars from manufacturers. Almost in a modular sense. Some anon turned me on to GC8 bumpers on 7th gen corollas.

>>17439293
bolt on fenders are SO gay dude

>>17438877
It's probably because all those mods are achievable for an amateur and don't require extensive fabrication knowledge or complicated certification; just bolt on some parts that are known to work.

The western civilized world gravitate toward oem+ modification. They try to keep outside as stock as possible while extracting most power from the engine. I partly blame the police for that.
