I know I've blogged about this before but since I really don't have anything to write about I'd like to blog about upgrades and modifications I'd love to do to our humble Wigo. These are more extreme upgrades that I doubt I could afford or want to do unless I suddenly became a multi-billionaire.
- Suspension upgrades. Not just any suspension upgrades, I'd like to raise the ride height by around 20 mm or so and hopefully lessen the play on the suspension when bouncing around. So basically make it stiffer and a bit higher. Not so stiff as to be uncomfortable, but not to soft that accidentally going too fast on humps or bumps causes the rear end to bottom out.
- Higher end speakers and an amplifier. Nothing too extreme, I still want co-axial speakers and a small amplifier so the practicality of the Wigo isn't affected. What I'm thinking is using a higher end brand than the realistic audio upgrade I'm planning to do. As for what brand, I have no idea since I'm not a car audio enthusiast.
- Recaro Classic LX front seats. These will hopefully provide better comfort and support when driving carefully around town and in road trips.
- A fiberglass hood. Weight savings should hopefully offset whatever weight gains I add from my other crazy ideas. I don't want to get a carbon fiber hood because I want the hood to have the same color as the car.
- V-Kool automotive window film (aka window tint) and paint protection film. For the tint I really want the one that offers the best visibility because the current tint on the Wigo is supposedly the lightest tint but I still have a hard time with visibility when I check the side mirrors in dark areas and in heavy rains. For the paint protection film, I'd love to do this after repainting the Wigo. Again, crazy things to spend on for such a humble car.
- RS Watanabe gold eight spoke 14 x 5 rims. Yet another luxury modification for a humble car, but I do love the look of these RS Watanabes. Plus this would move one of the current Wigo rims to the spare tire wheel well instead of the generic steelie.
- Yellow front fog lamps and a rear red fog lamp. I would love to have these installed, to be used for those really rainy nights that you just need a bit more visibility not only for yourself but so other cars can see you.
Out.
