The best mod; the most practical mod; the best value for money mod.

1/.Overall, what is the best mod you've fitted to your car?

2/. What's the most practical mod you've made to your car?

3/. What's the mod on your car that you think is best value for money?


For me

1/. It's got to be the heated seats.

2/. No doubt - the low coolant alarm. Saved me a cooked head already.

3/. Again, no doubt, it's got to be the mod to the bottom bush on the shock absorbers/dampers. It cost nothing, saved replacing the bushes every MOT and helped the handling.



What's yours?:dunno:

For Meg it's:

1/.Overall, what is the best mod you've fitted to your car? Glass rear screen on a Mk2 hood - I love to be the first!

2/. What's the most practical mod you've made to your car? TF front end - now I can see in the dark.

3/. What's the mod on your car that you think is best value for money? Lower rear suspension compliance washers - all for the price of an Ikea chopping board!

I've not done enough to the F yet to comment.

1/.Overall, what is the best mod you've fitted to your car? - My exhaust! My TTMk4612548 is an absolute blast and actually sounds like a sportscar now.

2/. What's the most practical mod you've made to your car? - Mike Satur Radiator Valve. No more dribbling coolant all over the bodywork. Also makes you look professional while you bleed it.

3/. What's the mod on your car that you think is best value for money? - The underbody sealant. One tin goes a hell of a long way!

Well then.

1. I would like to say the driver, but it's probably the Daytona as it makes me smile.
2. Oooh, soo many. Toss up between the built in satnav or heated seat, but I think the seats have it.
3. The torque tamer poly bushes.

Some interesting choices so far.
Clive, how do the torque tamer bushes affect the car?

Not done much to the TF yet but my three are:

1. I can't say the XPower exhaust because it was already there when I got the car so it will have to be the Kenwood BT-40U Bluetooth Head Unit - Can listen to the iPod and then get interrupted by the sales team phoning me on the way home.
2. Probably the radio again or maybe the Peugeot washer nozzles.
3. Definitely the washer nozzles, cheap as chips but actually spray the whole screen rather than the tiny area jet-washed by the originals.

1/.Overall, what is the best mod you've fitted to your car? 280mm rear discs

2/. What's the most practical mod you've made to your car? front mounted oil cooler / high air flow front end

3/. What's the mod on your car that you think is best value for money? rover 75 interior chrome door handles £5

They make it feel more sporty. Less of the torque is taken up slopping the engine around the engine compartment. Quicker takeoffs.
The car used to be bad in 1st in slow moving traffic (think kangaroo) to the point it would be embarrassing, now it is like a smooth thing in smoothsville. It also holds a higher gear at slower speeds withoud juddering.
It makes the drivetrain feel a lot smoother.

The only very slight downside is that you get a very small vibration through the chassis on tickover.

I love my conversion too, but the exhaust makes me smile on acceleration, deceleration and even when not moving. The brakes only make me smile on deceleration and looks.

Got a pic of the R75 handles in place? I have had a pair in my shed awaiting fitting for over a year now! LOL

Well, as I haven't had the car long I haven't done much to her. However my first mod will be to add rear speakers. I got a speaker bar and cover the other day, so just need to install that along with a new stereo!
