heyy everyone, I'm Jayce and I'm 18 years old and live in Melbourne, Australia.
i bought my first car about 2 months ago and since have changed a few things on the exterior including:
adding a red mesh grill, changing the washers so they have red LED in them, changing the headlights to red and putting on the JDM lights.

I was just wondering what are some cheap, efficient and worthwhile modifications i can make to the engine that you would recommend..and any other exterior or interior modifications that would be good.

here are some pictures of my beast =) lol







thanks guys. any input on the topic will be awesome.

Jayce

Whats done to your engine? I mean a very simple, and cheap mod, is a Cold Air Intake. I put one on mine along with a cat-back exhaust and its a HUGE difference, not to mention is sounds BEAST!
Your interior probably looks very clean by the looks of your car, but i know with mine it was beat up! and it sounds very ricey but i painted the inside plastics, and it looks alot cleaner now, but thats up to you.
Where'd you get your JDM tails, and clear signals in the front? How much did you pay for them? thanks-

i bought the JDM tail lights off ebay and got one of my friends to install em.
and the clear signals on the side or the front? i changed the ones on the side, i just went to a toyota wreckers and asked if they had them, i think their from a corolla? the front ones came with em on

How did you get your headlights to glow red? Did you drill a little hole in the houseing and just slip in a little LED? I was gunna try that a while back when i had a busted up headlight to experiment on but then i tried it out on the busted one and got kinda lazy too do it on the actual headlights.


all i did was just went to the local auto store and picked up some red led bulbs and fitted them in. thats actually just my park lights, not my driving lights

First things first.. Car looks clean. It's been taken care of.

Now... Lose the red windshield sprayers. That screams ricer Civic. The red daytime running lights aren't much better. That stuff kinda died out after 2002.

The clear front lights came standard as part of the facelift bumper. The side lights aren't necessarily from a Corolla. Those are factory on the car as well.
