Perfect time to Live

I don’t think my fellow car modification enthusiasts will disagree when I say we are living in the perfect time for our hobby. I mean just look at the tools and products available for our purposes. I am ecstatic about the endless possibilities you can do to your car these days. For one thing, economical cars from Japan are available to us, with limited budgets. But that is not to say they’re not well-equipped. I say they are just as powerful as their American or European counterparts. And given the right boost from aftermarket kits, they may even leave their competitors far behind. People are starting to see Japanese cars in a brand-new light. Movies like the Fast and the Furious are a big help in making people see all the glorious possibilities they can do to their vehicles. And it also helps in debunking the myth that cars from Asia are crap. I mean, could you honestly say that a Nissan Skyline GT-R is under-powered? Will you have the heart to say that a Mitsubishi Evolution IX is slow or that a Subaru WRX Impreza doesn’t handle well? Now you get the picture…

What’s more, there is an outbreak of affordable aftermarket kits that you can fit them with. What this means is your 25-grand car with the right set-up could match the speed of a car more than twice its price tag. How great is that? That kind of technology wasn’t there during our dad’s time. Face it, we have it easy.

With its present rate, it won’t be long before we see stuff that’s straight out of the comic books. Ah, what it is to be a car tuner these days. There aren’t nearly enough words to explain it. So why don’t you take that broken down civic that you have in your front lawn and mod it into something you can definitely be proud of, trust me, now’s the perfect time.
