5 Mods you loved / 5 Mods you didn't

[Icecream]

A close friend of mine was in between buying a used V10 R8 with gates or getting his pilots license and flying small planes. He close the planes and now he's looking into buying a Cessna.

There are a lot of hobbies that can be worse, but cars are pretty bad.

I can concur planes are are definitely a financially worse hobby than cars - especially if something breaks.


To add to my least favorite mods:
No cats - smell was unbearable (sounded good top end)
Poly rtabs - noticed 0 benefits

Best:
Status Ring Fixed Back Seats - This mod had the most dramatic effect on the feel of the vehicle. I could actually feel what the car was doing and really shows you what this car was meant to do.
Volk TE37's (OG model) 19x8.5 & 19x10.5- These have always been my dream wheels, and I have always been a ricer at heart 😂.
F8X Brembo Brakes - Braking is similar but I won't have to worry about brake fade anymore. Plus they look amazing behind my wheels.
Fortune 500 Coilovers - Customized my spring rates to the calculated flat ride specs and damn they feel great! I love that these are upgradeable to the 510 or dreadnought series, which is what I plan to do in the future.
Projector Upgrade: Lightwerkz GR-5 - Crazy output

Worst:
Carbon Fiber Intake (Gruppe M Style) - Rattles when WOT and gains are meh lol. Going back to stock soon.
Angel Eyes - I actually really liked the way they looked, but the individual LEDs kept dying. Also, when it got too hot outside (100+) they would start to flicker.
Catless Section 2 w/ headers & Gruppe M Style Section 3 - Damn the smell was awful and sound was obnoxious. However, under a bridge at WOT, that was a glorious sound haha. I added Resonators and high flow cats to section 2 and love it now.

So many more mods that I loved but the list would be too long lol.

Worst case he can take the wings off and commute in a Cessna. Can't fly an R8.

His issue is finding a hanger to store the plane in. It's been incredibly useful for our friend group since we can fit 4 in the plane and get to NY from Boston in about an hour and half - 2 hours for pizza.

Damn, those nerf guns are lot cooler than when I played with them in early 90's!

I need to get back into my RC airplane/heli hobby, that was SO much fun, the F18 does over 100mph with electronic retracts/flaps etc., huge pucker factor flying that one. I've got a FW 190 I haven't even taken out of the box its been over 2 years since I've flown the RC stuff, M3 is consuming my all of extra time but thats ok.

You guys have other hobbies???

Ever since COVID started I've been modifying these to play around the house with the kids. It's a lot cheaper and the M3 has sat in the garage for most of 2020.

What's the HOA situation like?

Maybe few bucks per square foot, so depends on how many private tracks you want to build on it, haha.

and amatuer detailers. FRIENDS.

If i invested all my mod money in BTC/TSLA, I don't think I'd be in LA anymore... probably retired on some island somewhere.

Homie you live in LA. That's the scariest place to be into real estate lol

High prices and tenant-friendly laws. But also high appreciation so 🤷🏻♂️

Cameras and real estate. Hobbies aren’t cheap.
