Should You Mod a GP ???

[Craig]

This place is getting very anti-modding ... even my vipers got enough 'concerns' before a got them done. I wonder how many other people are spending more time on Northern/totalmini and MiniTorque because of this.

HUGE sweeping generalisation there Baz..... sorry, can't agree....

Most people will voice an opinion if asked and some are traditionalist (like old boy Crombers) but you can't say the place is anti-modding.... Hell some of the longest members and those who are on here the most have modded every car they have had

Craig it might be the "anti-modders" are more vocal but I do have to agree with Baz, certainly feel it has changed from when I originally joined the site a few years ago. I know it is each to their own but Ryan's GP thread was a case in point

[Scottie]

You have to ask yourself what was it that made you want the GP ?


you could have bought a S and then done mods to that car. Things like your strut braces etc that are not seen are good. Performance mods well that's up to you was it worthwhile the performance mods that you had done to your previous S.

i have been here for ages and it seem the same to me i think we all have the right to say what we want to and yes mabie some say it more than others and if you ask me then you get people saying negative things on all forurms just take a look at my re map thread on northen mini where the guy from FOM was slaging my re map cos it was from some where other than 1320

i wont be doing any perfomace mods as such just the manifold and yes the manifold did work well on my s just what i did after that that wrecked it

Well Stoney it sounds as if, like me you have learnt from some previous modding mistakes. I am sure whatever you decide to do will work and look good.

Well you have only been here a month longer than me so seen most of the things you have. Generalisation? maybe but it's not only me that notices it... I know a forum in particular that slags us off for being 'traditionalists'. That pisses me off coz im proud of this place. These are people who joined here first then went to another forum. How many members are we losing because of 'traditionalists' being negative.

I just feel things can get a bit stale round here and we shouldn't be putting people off. We are at the stage where the biggest and best run in Scotland is organised by an English club... seems a bit sad.

Fair enough people have an opinion including me but repetition/tradition gets boring.

thanx fi

this was not ment as shall i mod my gp or not just seen as a lot of people where comenting on other threds about modding Gp's so started this thread

Baz you need a wee cuddle dude

I am not sure what the whole issue is, but I do know I only use NMS for my mini fix, would feel strange using another place. The points about others negativity I can understand slightly where you coming from, the only thing I would suggest is that things sometimes don't come over the right way. Only through knowing people in the person can you understand their comments. I am going to look at ryan's thread to see what the comments were.

Sorry Baz, I'm with Craig on this one. There may be a couple of members who throw a hissy-fit with a slightly misaligned number plate, but the majority are very open to and encouraging of mods.

In fact, I've just checked your "viper" thread. Not a single negative post - before and after. Not sure where these "concerns" are.
