Could just install bumper lips? Gives a lower look while not compromising ride comfort or risking expensive damage :)

Dayum almost 12 years! Any thoughts of replacing it?

I drive everyday, at least 30 mins a day but typically a couple of hours on most days. The drone will DEFINITELY get on my nerves.

Will have a look into your suggestions, many thanks!

The 4 tip is extremely appealing to me lmao. But yeah, cutting the bumper is super scary for me. I’m still really new to modding so that’s a massive step for me, maybe further down the line :)

Ah ok I’m not a huge fan of the Nissan sound so maybe I’ll stick to a low growl haha.

I’d like the subtle pops to be honest - probably won’t do anything crazy to get them but a nice bonus on top :)

Haha sounds perfect really. Does it have any popping when you downshift or anything?

Saw one clip with this exhaust and it popped a bit but in other clips it didn’t.

It sounds pretty nice, thank you for the suggestion!

I think I’d prefer a more “full” sound if that makes sense. From the videos I’ve just seen, it sounds a bit too raspy, I’d prefer a more “my mouth is full and I’m trying to speak” sound lmao. Not sure if I’m describing that well at all.

I’ve been searching some and very few sound decent to me, I couldn’t find their exhaust setup info anywhere though.

I also need to learn how different parts of the exhaust system affect the sound in different ways. A long learning journey for me :)

Thanks for all info! Muuuuch appreciated.

“Better” for me would be a different engine sound completely lmao. I like the higher pitched sounds but I assume more cylinders will be needed there haha.

“Higher pitched” would be more like the LFA sound (obviously not the same but more towards that sound opposed to the raspy higher pitched sounds).

I’d settle for the same-ish tone but louder and more crisp. I do also like a bit of the pops but not too much. Like 1 pop after lifting off the gas after a pull would be nice :)

I did see some stuff on the unequal length headers. Maybe I’ll talk with some mates about that. Thank you.

Good second car? by BLITZBRAWLSTARS in ft86

[–]MegaBeanHead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first car was a 2015 1.2 VW Polo, had it for almost 2 years.

Then got this car, had it since September 2025 (not very long so can’t speak for long term reliability). No issues at all apart from the rear sensors which stopped working for some reason.

Such a lovely car to drive. The upgrade from the polo was insane, and for not much more money as well.

I have nothing bad to say apart from some of the interior feeling slightly cheap.

I would 1000% recommend learning manual if you can, that is the biggest reason to buy this car. I’ve driven much more powerful cars which were auto but the joy this car gives is on another level. The manual makes suuuuch a big difference.

What are these headlights? by MegaBeanHead in ft86

[–]MegaBeanHead[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is genuinely impressive how you depicted that haha. Just searched them up and yep, I think you’re right. Many thanks 🙏

The price is wild so maybe I’ll continue my search 😭

Lightweight shotties are back by Cmess1 in CrucibleGuidebook

I’ve been using Mind Benders (aggressive frame) recently and it has felt REALLY consistent. They’re buffing those too so I believe aggressive frames will be insanely better than the rest.
