So, I now have a plan on what to do for my car.

In this order I will mod my car with the following:

Full leather/suede retrim in Dark-gray/Vanilla -- $1500 or so (I spend most of my time inside, so thats the important one first up)
20" Chrome rims of some sort -- $1800 or so
King Lows all-round (Superlows arent plausable due to my location) -- $600?
2.5" Cat-back exhaust with 2x High-flow twin tip muffers -- $1100
Custom-made body kit (Re-moulded DROID lancer kit possibily?) to fit TH Magna -- $3500 painted/fitted

Gonna need to start saving :P

As optimistic as I'd like to be here, I don't see these being completed really...

Full retrim - not a bad idea, but I wouldn't do it first up.

20's - you say that superlows aren't suitable for your area, but you'll go with rubberband tyres? Downsize to 17 or 18 inch is my recommendation, tyres are cheaper and you won't be as upset if you gutter them.

King lows - I'd be going with superlows, and do it first, before you get wheels.

Exhaust - Do this after your lowering, keep your piping size to a sensible level to eliminate resonance.

Custom kit - Like I said in the 20" wheels part, if you are concerned with lowering the car, take into account that a body kit will add a good 1-2 inches to the bottom of your car. Bodykits look gay anyway.


Now, for my suggestions.

Keep in mind the money you spend on the car, you're only a youngin so don't go overboard with it :) (Yes, I'm aware I'm not that much older than you, just keep the spending sensible.)

Thats a fair bit of money to be spending on a Magna for, what I think, not a huge amount of gain. Perhaps it would work out better to sell the car, and upgrade to a VRX or something in order to save money on the bodykit (plus you get the added extras of the VRX). Just a thought :)

I agree with you on the inside needing to be good however, this is where we all spend most of the time in our cars, so to me, being comfortable, and having good audio was always important.

As for the exhaust, just changing the muffler will give you quite a performance increase, with the cat to muffler pipe doing very little. Might be a way to save some money.

are you 5 years old?

retrim yeah thatd b nice i guess

20's? like lukey said you worries about potholes and **** and you want 20s? lol

superlows are extremely muchly lotsa better than lows, with a kit and 20's your gonna look gay with lows

yeah exhaust would be alright

custom bodykit? lawl droid kits are teh yuckies, vrx kit with jvm front bar FTMFW

sounds like a good plan of attack, however i agree with above on the superlows / rim sizes thing.

if your location isnt good for superlows then its not gunna be good for 20's either...
downsize to 17 or 18s to be practical to the location.

the redo of the interior sounds good tho :)
i think a good idea to start with that - ya gotta be comfortable when driving!

I think there is very little point in a 3.5l, and manual conversion. Surely it would be cheaper to sell the current car and buy a 3.5L manual car. Less hassle aswell, plus easier resale latter down the track

It's not really potholes I worry about, its the wavey roads... the roads are very hilly and its like going over a bunch of speed humps.

Really performance doesnt bother me, if I did performance I'd end up killing myself ^_^

As for manual I do not yet have a manual license, or the time to learn :(

Really I just want something that looks and sounds good, on the inside and out (Body, Height, Exhaust note, Sound system, interior).

Regardless of performance, anyone has the ability to kill themselves in any car, the risk is just increased.

You've probably never driven on wheels any bigger than 15"... let me tell you mate that stepping up to 18-20 inch, your ride quality deteriorates significantly. You get used to it but if you live in speedbump city you're not going to appreciate it. You'll feel every bump in the road.

Droid bodykit will NOT look good.

why cut the kid down, i think its great he wants to be DIFFERENT then all the vxr guys out there. maybe not he droid kit in my opinion but hey its your car if that what you like awsome ( i copped a lot of critisism when i designed my kit(jn style now availible at carmate), but see how many people have it now.

just a quick one mate, u have very much under estimated your interior, expect mroe up to the 3000+ for real leather or suade. there are sum very good fake leathers out there though, just sumthin to consider

Good luck with it mate

saying and doing are completely different things, i know when i was just opn my P's i was like ZOMGBBQ im gonna do this and that, but you never do

An idea for the interior would be to re trim the rear seats, and door trims, and get a decent set of front seats out of another car, get custom rails made up, and get them engineered. Engineering is fairly easy, and this may serve as being the better option.

For example, there is a set of front and rear seats out of an ADM Evo for sale for about $2000. These are leather Recaro seats, probably much better than re-trimming standard Magna seats. The price just for the fronts would obviously be cheaper.

Regardless of what you want to do, always do your research first, and try to look at every angle.

on the other hand, i have been building cars since i was 15, (done my 1st full engine conversion and heaps of other stuff. and have built several cars since.) if it is what he really wants he will make it happen

So, I now have a plan on what to do for my car.

In this order I will mod my car with the following:

Full leather/suede retrim in Dark-gray/Vanilla -- $1500 or so (I spend most of my time inside, so thats the important one first up)
Yeah that's a good idea, i went with the same plan and i absolutely love my interior. I spend 100% of my driving time in there so i figured that would be the best thing to upgrade.


20" Chrome rims of some sort -- $1800 or so
King Lows all-round (Superlows arent plausable due to my location) -- $600?
20" looks hot, but it's not practical for an every day driver. Like you said your roads are curvy and bumpy, you car will be like a rollercoaster with 20" and lower springs


2.5" Cat-back exhaust with 2x High-flow twin tip muffers -- $1100
that sounds good, a lot of ppl have done a similar setup and from what i've seen/heard they're pretty good... just avoid cannons :P


Custom-made body kit (Re-moulded DROID lancer kit) to fit TH Magna -- $3500 painted/fitted
That sounds interesting, it's different and will set your car out from others. however if you also plan to be dumped on 20's, keep in mind that there's a good chance you will scrape everything.

good luck!

I was thinking the same thing. If you could find yourself a Limited Edition VR-X with leather, all you'd have to do is lower it and upgrade the stereo and you'd be laughing. The VR-X also has infinitely better resale - mods add SFA to the resale value of the. If you're not going to keep it long-term, you'd be silly to do it up when you could buy something that's done up from the factory.

My thoughts on your ideas:

* Leather retrim is sweet, but it's a lot of money for not much gain (IMO). I've got a good quality set of sheepskin seatcovers ($200 for front pair) which are really comfy - much better value than a retrim (although obviously not as nice).
* If your roads are bumpy, 20s are going to ride like ass. Like Lucifier said, you do get used to it, but even a set of 18s (even 19s) will still look as good and will have at least some tyre sidewall to them :P
* I've got Lows all around and I'm happy with them. Keep in mind that King Superlows are front only, and Lovell Superlows are only ~5mm lower than King Lows (so the name is a bit misleading). Get new shocks too - it'll ride and handle better.
* It's a fair bit of money to spend on an exhaust. I'd love quad tips too (bit hard with VR-X rear bar though), but I'd rather something that sounded good (ie a Magnaflow exhaust).
* Droid kit :sick: A VR-X or Ralliart kit would look a lot better...


Revise your sound system... move away from Sony

I agree, I personally would rather put big bucks into a decent sound system than a leather retrim.

dont put a vrx kit on and esspecially dont put a rallyart kit on, i hate nothin mor ehten people tryn to make there cars look lie something that you can buy off teh shelf.. its as bad as common***** drivers who buy and executive and put a clubsport kit on it, its just gay.. be origonal, doesnt cost much more and hey you dont look like every other joe blow who has no imagination on the road.

i have a sony/ pioneer system nothing wrong with it and lots of bass :)

doing interior you can do yourself, after seeing a couple of mates ash and paulie doing my car i should be able to do the rest on my own :) although if your not confident just like me, then find a person who has done it in your area and pay them instead of a pro.

can you get a photo of this kit i dont recognise the name?

i have extractors, hi flow cat and a magnaflow muffler which you could probably pick up for about 1100-1200 at your local muffler shop.


plan it all out mate thats what i did and im slowly but surely getting through it.

good luck

Always shop around, you can pick up some great bargins. Ive upgraded my whole exhaust except the cat and flex pipe for under $800. This includes pacemakers, and custom 2.5inch, mandrel exhaust, all fitted by a pro.

Im sorry,but that just screams riceee. One of the worts kits I have ever seen. And wtf is the deal with those exhaust pipes

the magna flow muffler on its own is 400, that price was a bit higher than what i paid which was 900, but that because he stuffed up a few months earlier doing a job :) but yes i agree if i wanted i think i could of found cheaper :) so dont rush it as i did a little lol

does that kti even fit a magna? not my choice personnaly but then again if you do get it, it could prove me wrong!

mike

why is rice so bad.. people have a right to like what they like.. and hey if he dont care bout goin fast he may as well enjoy every1 looking at him, yes maybe not every1 will like it, but i'm sure enough people will.


And hey the girls luv the riced up cars.. never seen a girl go for a guy in a stock magna cause it drives really fast

Not even going to reply to that post. Each to their own I suppose.

thast right, exactly why i am saying leave the kid alone for wanting to rice it. he prob like riced cars. performance isnt everything. and a stock magna goes plenty fast enough for a driver who has just got his license

hahah so true.

Yeah the way i see it, Magna's or Verada's aren't built for h3ktic drift or a 9sec 1/4mile. Which leaves only 1 option, make it look good, or at least different. there's no point spending money on engine mods because despite how fast a Turbo/Twin Turbo/Supercharged Magna or Verada is, it'll still struggle to keep up with a car that was made to be performance tuned. an RX7 or Skyline for example.

There's gonna be a lot of haters if you do get a Droid Kit molded for your car, but hey, if that's what you wanna do then so be it.

Yes, thats true, but, there is a different between tasefull looking mods, and that kit.

Take a look at Tzaboys, Egos rides. Even Gremlins old rids. Fantastic looking machines, but never to they scream out rice, or never are they over the top. The Magna is to big to suit a body like like above, I still think it will look shocking. You man want to be different, which is a good think.But looking different at the cost of looking stupid isnt such a good thing imo.

And if people are gonna start telling me off, don't even bother. You have your opinions, I have mine. Now deal with it.

Don't worry about other people's opinions mate. Do what you want. It's your car after all.

But looking different at the cost of looking stupid isnt such a good thing imo.

That's my opinion too. I personally would rather have my VR-X body kit and look completely factory than have an over-the-top ricey bodykit.

Having said that, VR-Xes and Ralliarts are uncommon enough on the road they may as well be considered an aftermarket bodykit. I actually had another TJ Magna pull me up at a servo on the weekend and asked about my bodykit... he seemed very suprised that it was all factory. If Magna owners don't even know what's factory and what's not, what are the chances of the rest of the public knowing? :P Additionally, no one believes me when I say my wheels were stock from the factory...

If you want to draw heads, you don't have to go ricey (although if you like it, go for it I guess, just don't expect everyone here to love your kit as much as you lol). My car turns heads - not *that* many obviously, but it's enough to keep my ego satisfied :)

Might decide on a different kit later, I just like the chunky and wide. Could always custom design one anyways.

The VRX looks too stock imo. If you want to spend money to stand out, why get a factory kit, seems a waste.

Also, whats so wrong with rice on a car built by a Japanise company? Makes sense to me.

Anyways, as you can see its very low down on the list which gives me plenty of time to think about it. As for the 20s and lows/super-lows... 95% of my driving is highway (Hume, M2, M5, M7) and it just means I would have to take it a little slow around town until the roads are re-done (They are currently being done at the moment).

just means I would have to take it a little slow around town until the roads are re-done (They are currently being done at the moment).

just wait it out a little until they fix up the road then. start with your interior or something and by the time you have that the roads might be done and THEN you can make the choice of which wheel to aim for depending on how good the road ends up being.

remember too, depending on your specific wheel design choice, some 18s can look massive anyway.

theres a difference between jap style and rice, rice is ugly... twice the rice is half as nice :)

If you want to know why Rice is bad, look at it's definition; a tasteless modification to a japanese vehicle. Also see what Urban Dictionary had to say (http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=rice).

Generally the girls who go for guys who have got a fugly bodykit on their car are the ones with diseases, the ones you DON'T want near you ;) Word to the wise.

There is a moderately subtle, simple VIP kit that will satisfy your needs for something chunky and wide. You'll have to import it though. If you're looking at custom kits, prepare to spend an excessive amount of money on something you'll sell 1 or 2 years later.

Factory kits suit the magna better because they follow the lines of the magna better and improve the overall appearance of the car with minimal intrusiveness. I for one am not a fan of any kit that wasn't designed by Mitsubishi (for Magna), apart from the JVM front bar.

I just want to know why people are stating how they do 100% of there driving INSIDE the car? - If someone can give me a percentage other then 100%, I'd like to know where your driving your car from :P

Agree wholeheartedly with Luci and Trav..
But trust me, BEFORE you have big plans, rice up your car, then think goddam i wish i had some balls to back this hot ride up, Just buy a 3.5L manual - they are rockets in stock form let alone modified, save yourself the hassle of having a nice car thats slow, just think you have $10K of mods right there...

Its not I don't want to have a big engine, its just the tempation... Atm it has the TH 3.0 SOHC 24V V6 and I already managed to push it to over 210km/h with ease. I'm a bit of a leadfoot so the slower the car, the less temptation.

Also, I don't really consider 140kw ATF on a 1400kg car slow (Stock engine power).

When you "do up" your car and it still has the stock engine, trust me, you will want more power, happens to everyone.
ANYHOO - Just passing on my experience

Well. I know... hehe once I'm off the P's I'll go nuts I suppose... Legal performance mods xD

Additionally, no one believes me when I say my wheels were stock from the factory...

Probably because most of the time Mitsu mags sucked lol

All of our Magnas can do that, the performance difference is how fast it gets there.

Not knocking your ambitions, but your list seems a bit optimistic. What kind of job do you have to build those mods? And is all that worth it on a car that will be worth considerably less than $10k when you sell?

I make 34k/yr + call bonuses, $3 per call over 35 each day.

All the money I make on bonuses go to the car, I can make up to $500/fortnight with my average call flow.

hey man i reckon, its your car, do what you want to it. if you have the money and thats what u wanna spend it on, then do it.

your money, your car...sure get advice from people but at the end of the day it's your decision.

just see how u go and go one thing at a time, good luck anyway

good on ya for having some goals set Life, hope it all goes well!

btw i think your better off with faux leather/suede.

I have a little something for you all to think about, a little quote I heard somewhere.

"You are your car"

Just think of this and what you have done to your car to make it "you".

For example (I know this sounds a little stupid however) I like shiney things, I always wear a stirling silver chain and multiple rings, so I decided that I would make my car stand out a little by adding a Chrome Grille.

I also love to be alive and heard, so I upgraded my sound system.

As for my engine, I don't like to go fast in life, so why should my car? I left it stock. Some people like to go a million miles a minute. that is their choice, not mine.

--

So when you suggest/flame something, are you just "going with the flow" or are you trying to push to get a part of yourself on to anothers car?

Everybody wants to be unique, if all the magnas had para's nothing would even be special about them, they wouldnt cost $400 a pair and nobody would even notice, they only reason they are so special is because they are different.

i lol when people that dont ever go to the track, bragg about how fast thier car is (yet the speed limit is 60 in most places), and then come back on here to complain about a speeding ticket.

you make a few good points, there is no point trying to argue on here, i think on here you are different by being the same, on here being truly different is known as ugly, even if its something you like. good luck with ya shizzel, just make sure to post pics.

(I know this sounds a little stupid however)

Correct.

Just do what you want to your car. No need to make excuses or explanation for what you want to do. Just post when you have done them and some people will appreciate it.

Thank God someone said this.

Just mod the damn car, don't ask for approval because chances are you won't get it, just shoot first and ask questions later. You'll always have your haters, you'll have supporters too.

hmmm just beat me to it (finishing off an assignment haha)

i agree, you don't need to justify what you want to do to anyone, do it, appreciate it, show it off....u can't please everyone

That sort of list will make the car a heck of a stand out magna, whether I agree with some of the stuff you put on it or not doesn't matter, as long as you actually go through with what you say you'll do all will be well, I think I speak for a few of us when I say we're sick of seeing people posting up all these "big mods" that never happen (not saying you will be one of those people). Its good to see people follow through with stuff like this, so make it happen if its what you really want.

Just before you throw well $8.5k odd into the car, be sure its what YOU want, because your as hell won't get any of it back down the track.

There is a bit of flaming going on in here, and I've noticed a couple of you (ar3nbe stands out here actually) haven't stopped at just giving your opinion, you've given it, and then continued to try and drill it into him. I'm sure Life will take everyones opinions on board, theres no point trying to drill your view into him or anyone else with a different view, as said, we all have our opinions, but its not up to us to say what someone else should or shouldn't do to their cars. Thats my opinion anyway.

:)

why cut the kid down, i think its great he wants to be DIFFERENT then all the vxr guys out there. maybe not he droid kit in my opinion but hey its your car if that what you like awsome ( i copped a lot of critisism when i designed my kit(jn style now availible at carmate), but see how many people have it now.

I have a little something for you all to think about, a little quote I heard somewhere.

"You are your car"

Just think of this and what you have done to your car to make it "you".

For example (I know this sounds a little stupid however) I like shiney things, I always wear a stirling silver chain and multiple rings, so I decided that I would make my car stand out a little by adding a Chrome Grille.

I also love to be alive and heard, so I upgraded my sound system.

As for my engine, I don't like to go fast in life, so why should my car? I left it stock. Some people like to go a million miles a minute. that is their choice, not mine.

So when you suggest/flame something, are you just "going with the flow" or are you trying to push to get a part of yourself on to anothers car?

Everybody wants to be unique, if all the magnas had para's nothing would even be special about them, they wouldnt cost $400 a pair and nobody would even notice, they only reason they are so special is because they are different.



somebody just got burned :bowrofl:, nah life i am with you on this mate no person is the same so why should ya car be,[i know i am hypocritical by saying this as i am getting the same paint job as llyod ''yld35l'' just different colours]
But as life has said if everyone had parras they wouldnt be so expensive, its his car so let him go through with it ,has anyone bagged out 1stunna for his paint or has anyone bagged out sky-na for spending so much on his car NO [by the way sky-na and 1stunna i meant no offence by that your cars are awesome]
just let the man go, i hope it all goes well life ,if ya put ya mind to it and do most the work ya self it will save ya some coin

Lifes a bitch aint it?

If you want to know why Rice is bad, look at it's definition; a tasteless modification to a japanese vehicle. Also see what Urban Dictionary had to say (http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=rice).

Generally the girls who go for guys who have got a fugly bodykit on their car are the ones with diseases, the ones you DON'T want near you ;) Word to the wise.



There is a moderately subtle, simple VIP kit that will satisfy your needs for something chunky and wide. You'll have to import it though. If you're looking at custom kits, prepare to spend an excessive amount of money on something you'll sell 1 or 2 years later.

Factory kits suit the magna better because they follow the lines of the magna better and improve the overall appearance of the car with minimal intrusiveness. I for one am not a fan of any kit that wasn't designed by Mitsubishi (for Magna), apart from the JVM front bar.


wheres the love??? lol

yeah mate as 6 said, dont give a **** about other peoples opinions do it because u wanna. if we all followed everyone else's opinions i'd be surprised if a modded magna even existed as we all would have went down the import/commo/falcon path.

no offense taken 6, i get a couple of laughs at the car in the shows i go in (then see the cars they drive and theyre usually clapped out vn's LOL or something mainstream) but the majority of people like it, or if not respect it cause its different and actually ask how i've done some things. sure it has some rice (vinyls, wing etc) but i like it and mate if urs has rice and u like it so be it. at the end of the day, do u wanna have a car u walk out to and go "yeah its ok, everyone likes it i guess" or absolutely love your car?

go the droid kit, go the big stezza and if u end up not liking it theres always ebay :P if i had followed everyones opinion on here i can tell ya 3/4s of the mods would probably not have been done.
