    if you would tune your car

    don't just tune the engine (because that is sooo gay!!)

    if you tune the engine, then you should take awsome tyretypes,
    get a cool paintjob, get some stickers, color your breakblock(if this is a correct word?)


    but NEVER just upgrade your engine without tuning the look of a car!

    so basicly u are telling us to buy a lamborghini and leave it? okay a bit extra

    how bout a gullwing supra? 70 grand? No thanx. I could prolly buy a supra around 40 put in 10 for all tuned parts and likely the doors of the gullwing.

    Tuning is about customizing to preference. example take a nissan skyline. nice car as it is right? Well say i wanted to place a body kit and get it a car sound i'd like it to be? the B.O.V (blow off valve) sounds good depending if u can get enough to be pressurized.

    ya i forgot to mention XD blow off valve is part of the turbo. As air is taken from the exhaust and pressurized to increase air allowed into the piston chamber (at least that's wat im told im 16 wat can u expect)

    Anyway ya there are a lot of car mods that are good for milage and besides u can always mod the ammount of gas injected in the piston chamber. Less gas=better milage, but means less power also

    usually modifying the car doesnt add any money but actually devalues it. unless you rice it out and some dumber ricer buys it off you. and i wouldn't really call it "tuning" a car rather than moding because usually tuning pertains to perfecting the engine management ect. moding cars isnt a cheap hobby and it all depends on if you want to invest the time and money into it. please just be on those stupid ricers that bases everything they learn off fast and furious and ricer games like juiced where you think adding stickers and body kits make your car faster. and street racing and "nawz" is "cool"

    Nawz? lol i think people had problems hearing it when they said Nos wich was sad what happened when the First Fast and furious did to the Nos company. their nitrous kits are probably the higher quality in my opinion anyway.

    to velociti: agreed. Tho some body kits give aerodynamics, but im not going there. And when i said car tuning i meant everything. Turbo kits being tweaked, everything.

    Given the talk about nitrous don't put it into your car unless u have money to back up any damaged parts because they do harm your engine given enough useage. or if you are stuiped enough and havnt managed to ensure your engine stays cool enough and doesnt over heat like a bit**.

    Also decals are just for a way of saying "ya i use this companies shiz" doesnt mean anything else.
