Who modifies their Jap Import?

Just wondering who the modifiers are out there? Whether you do it yourself or pay someone to, who are the biggie import tuning lovers?

*puts hand up* I started off paying people to do the work but the more I learn the more stuff I do myself, helps to have talented friends that can help but basically I've found you save big $$$ when you can do things yourself.

Guards still in primer etc

nice car dude,

big ups for a minta of a car!!!

i do it myself or with the help of the boys, but we just cut the springs aye, chuck some wheels and tints on there and done

heres a useful link LOL

www.rangimods.co.nz

LOL!!!!! I know all about that thats how we used to be, I can't believe there is actually a site called rangi mods hahaha thats wicked, I could spend all day adding content for that site, start with a special on cable ties!! they can be used for anything! who needs bolts when u have cable ties lol

Just having a look thru the site, nice to see the stuff is actually practical and works, kiwi ingenuity at its best

Cutting the springs is a shocker though! Would never do that, seen too many guys 'lose' their springs all of a sudden while driving for that. I prefer my cars to handle.

@ Rangi mods classic!!

The panel beating info on there is pretty good! Shows its actually pretty easy to repair stuff, I have panel beater mates that I watch all the time, dent pull, sand, bog, sand. A friend of mine has been showing me file finishing lately, really interesting.

LOL

i was in histerics when i first saw that site lol,

fully agree with the cut springs but theres nothing that properly lowers ya cars these days, u pay $400 for king springs when it sits the same height!!

but yer ima get a fast car from now on and just have legit suspension, [2slo50]

not with super lows if you get your shocks shortened (I have a mate at a hydraulics company that can do this)

you can get your standard springs compressed
or reset

I still remember the night we sat in the lounge and came up with the name rangimods. The guys was so excited about it all ... Some fun times ...

Yup that is true, I knew a guy who had them compressed, one shot out when he was going around a corner and not at speed, could have been a dodgey install but he had it done properly, compressing is a bit dodgey, at least fit kings and get shocks shortened or if you got the funds coilovers are by far the best
