What would you buy if you couldnt modify ?
« on: January 08, 2012, 11:46:00 am »
I was just thinking to my self, there was a scare not that long ago about mot regulations not allowing remapping as of this year but it turned out to be chipping - eg the cheap piggyback systems for ecus this was to stop vehicle fires.
Anyway this got me thinking what car would i actually buy if the government outlawed modifying it ?
Me personally i buy a car on its tuning potential and trying to see how it would be when its finished as do alot on here, and i was wondering is there any cars out there id want to own if i couldnt do this anymore ?(a one car for everthing)
I do a couple trackdays and i was thinking about the e46 m3 but remembered that the brakes are pants so i couldnt get that in stock form! The e90 m3 is still out of budget as is the golf r so theyre out, i know ive got one so im a bit biass towards them but at the moment the only things i think would be the mk2 focus rs or the new clio cup ?

I was just wondering what you guys would have as i cant really think of any

I would just buy a more expensive hot hatch with more power and equipment as standard.

Ford are the best choice hot hatch wise, because Mountune are a recognized Ford tuner with Ford sponsored Warranty, and you can buy their packages straight from the show rooms.  So there's a tuning market right away on that front.  Mini also have the same outlook on tuning with their John Cooper Works packages.

I expect other manufacturers might follow suit, but i really couldnt see VAG doing it.

Then theres cars like the lancer EVO X, which come in many power specs, 300hp, 330hp, 360hp, 400hp etc

Focus RS for me as well

In all honesty, I always wanted a Golf GTI. The fact that it was an ED30 that I bought was a bonus. Hence anything I could do to the car would have been icing on the cake.

So....I'd still have bought a Golf GTI.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.
